#FunFact : In #Japanese , the word for "uvula" is "nodochinko" (のどちんこ), which literally means "throat penis". 🙃

I need someone to tell me I shouldn't name a character or ship Mathimos. I know what it means. I should be kind.

However, Umingmak is totally going in.

🤷 Mind you while drug stores are called "Drogerie" or "Drogeriemarkt" in German. But for whatever reason that's okay. #FunWithLanguages

I think I will consider translating my books into Old English, so I can leave what feels like three quarters of the German words of the original text in the translation.

Sometimes it happens that my brain in passing makes very silly things out of words. Like just reading a German recipe title for "Schweinelendchen" as "Pig little miseries" instead of "Small pork loins". Well, for the pig it probably was the first tbh...

I love how dramatic direct translation can sound b/w languages.

Ex: “Tengo hambre/sed” from Spanish to English is “I have hunger.”

Do you have a favorite direct translation? #funwithlanguages #spanish #english #multilingual #languages #randomthoughts

The joy of learning grows when we add songs to our lessons. 🎶 Children discover new words in a fun, natural, and rhythmic way. Every musical note becomes a bridge to a new language. #SpanishWithMeches #BilingualLearning #AprenderJugando #EarlyLearning #BilingualKids #FunWithLanguages

There's a Papageno in every German outlaw according to AI, which translates German "ein Vogelfreier" (an outlaw; literally someone as free as a bird) as "birdman".

-you shouldn't buy the cheap walking bonsai tree.
-why not?
-it's a little billiger ent.

Because the only thing worse than a bad pun is a bad bilingual pun.

#ItsNotAboutEtiquettesBut just... not showing how your mind works.

You had to pluralize etiquette, didn't ya? Making 🦉 think about how bad it sounds in Japanese...

Etiquette: エチケット
Etiquettes: エチケッツ

Little slip, and you get エッチケツ, pervert butt.🦉💦

Originally, "dishevelled" meant "bare-headed, with shaven head", from French deschevele

This is an extremely niche joke, but it amuses me enough to share.
