I have decided to make a post about some fun stuff I still carry or say whenever I need to have fun with people that do not understand my language...

Everyone does it somehow... even if only in your thinking... and that's normal, because your brain is programmed to work like that.

What you mean about funny?

Well, sometimes you may write these down (in your own native language) in a post of a social network or even say it out loud somewhere...

Then someone will try the obvious if they don't understand...

Translate it!

The problem here is that some translators don't understand how to distinguish a metaphor, joke or naive prop from a real strict comment. Let's go for some examples... with context... 😅

(to avoid racism or sexism, please consider all examples as me being the personality, hence a Portuguese boy)

When you see a girl very attractive?!

This is probably a kind of "childish" comment... but I am sure some will identify with. It's basically when you see someone that has everything on it's place, except their smile... Click on the image to get the feeling! 🤣

The right translation here would be something like... "If it wasn't for that horrible smile, I would make lots of love with you!"

But instead... google does not understand... and translates to something you might think as "boobs"!? LOL

When you could not care more...

This one is when you are just sick of it... and just say you are!

The good translation should be, "I could not care less for this...". Instead it looks like the opposite! LOL That I am somehow having a hard time with it...

When you are hungry...

When you say that you would "eat something"... translated looks like you have already ate something... LOL

This one is my own (in Portuguese)

This is something I would say when I just want to express something like... "there you go, eat that stuff!" - I believe this is the most well known approximation... but portuguese is tricky here... it can have several other meanings...

When you say to someone, "now you are on your own"

This is a typical comment from the "north" of Portugal I would say... provided by aleister@aleister

It can also mean... "Good luck with all the crap that's coming!"...

When someone is getting smart..ish...

We say this one mostly as a "warning" sign. Like, "don't get too cocky mate, otherwise"... but again, the translation is absurdly hilarious. In some sense it kind of translates from the intention, but I am unsure if all English people would understand. Provided by pardinus@pardinus

There are tons of these...

I just find myself fortunate to be able to have fun with these =) I hope this would bring some sparkly creativity and motivation to some of you. Besides having some fun remembering, this was part of my intend.

If you are Portuguese (or understand) and you wish to try one, let me know. If it's completely wrong, then I am seriously going to put it up. This is a nice way to test Google AI translation, which is learning from your input also. Especially when you translate the other way around as form of validation... that most of the times, don't go very well.

This post is full of #Hope, trying to support the project.hope@project.hope!
