Oh, get over it please.

I’m sure there are plenty of native English copywriters who had to translate English into some other language and came up with some equally ridiculous and unintentionally humorous results.

Engrish is just a joke, if you have a problem with it then open your own website for Indonesish for things that were translated into Indonesian in stupid ways.

True that most people smiling at this translation are english native or well educated people.. You are doing good telling them you can master 4 languages, for it is always good to remind the world that not only english is not the universal language on earth (though at the moment the one used for international communication but so was french some centuries ago and it passed.. let’s see with chinese in the future ha ha)

You should feel ashamed of yourself to be so despiteful and stupid.. K and G are very cery close to each other. Why don’t you try the 6 different guttural sounds in chinese? It is easy to be good in english you have education but not everyone can afford it. Get out of your bedroom everynow and then. Try to write a language you mostly heard and we will make so much fun of you that even you will feel like the idiot you are.

It’s so funny when even the signs have such a strong accent you almost can’t understand them. You can’t read the sign out loud without sounding like you just learned a few English phrases the other day.

he means those commentators should look first at their own language proficiency before heaping muck on other languages and other peoples. even if I find these posts funny, i know that that’s because the people who made these signs consulted dictionaries too much.
you would also sound funny in javanese if you tried to speak it if you’re not even indonesian. part and parcel of language differences.
nothing to be ashamed of. everything to be amused at especially when you realize you can and will experience it yourself.

There is standard spelling in Indonesian as there is in English. Duuh, we have dictionaries too. And we don’t spell words just as we pronounce it… There is no confusion between F and P, some people just can’t pronounce F although this is strictly regional..

You’re such a GENIUS!! Obviously you can judge an Indonesian by whose majority have limited means to learning English.

By: huff

That’s just stupid, Keropika! Why should you be ‘insulted’ by his extra two spoken language? Obviously you’re JEALOUS! Do people in Indonesia get insulted when someone can speak Sundanese or Javanese? Does it ruin national stability? Generate social jealousy? Can you seriously tell me that speaking in mother tongue is insulting?

Seriously?! Only a fool take an offence he/she’s not suppose to take!

And out of three languages that you mentioned in your comment, sir, “mayoritas orang Indonesia” speaks only the two of them, and you know how we treat the other one.

I am Indonesian myself, sir, and honestly, I am, and I’m sure most Indonesian people are, very insulted by your show-offish comment about the not-so-true language statement.

Not to mention “Thangs you” and “for come to fisiting us(.)” No punctuation, and if you ask me, K, and G aren’t that close, and it IS painted! How the @#$% do you mess that up?! The only errors I’ve ever made was confusing “me” and “my” while writing song lyrics on my bag, (good thing it was on the inside) and at least they’re both pronouns(ish). I don’t even know what the hell a “thang” is, nor do I want to!

V is indeed a voiced F, but in Indonesia there is also much confusion between F and P. This might be regional, depending on the local accent.

One other factor that may increase the frequency of spelling errors is that there is no standard spelling in Indonesian, as there is in English. (They didn’t have Noah Webster over there.) They just spell the word as they pronounce it, and that varies with regional accents.

For all cranky commentators

Why don’t you try to translate this simple Indonesian sentences into English:

“Mayoritas orang Indonesia belajar 3 bahasa sejak kecil: bahasa ‘ibu’-nya, bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa Inggris.
Tidak heran jikalau kemampuan berbahasa mereka terbagi di antara ketiga bahasa tersebut”

I can speak in 4 different languages: Indonesian, Hokkien, Mandarin and English.
For all those cranky commentators: How many languages that you master?

That’s normal for Indonesians. For example, they pronounce TV as tee-fee. So, that explained the the “F”. Ah well, probably the whole English sentence was directly translated from Bahasa Indonesia to English.
