Hope that made you happy ;)

Come on and give it up, you Danes, how do YOU say “fart”? (I’m guessing “schtinkzen” or something like that)

About to leave i looked on a small box to the side of the ATM with a sign that said “Boner her”.
For a second I was liek “Erh ok”, before my brain got into Danish mode and realized that it meant “Reciepts here” :S
Will go and take pic.

I used an online dictionary and what little knowledge I have about Japanese and asked a (non-native) Japanese speaking friend if it looked ok and he fixed the kanji for me. :-| I can’t wait till he needs something translated into Danish again.

How would you say “I am Danish” in Japanese then?

Just FYI, Google Translator actually translates it into “I am Danish”, but yeah, I know… Machine translations (and apparently friendship and trustworthiness) – FAIL!

I think it’s a bit sad to see Engrish taking this turn towards words/sentences that aren’t the least bit funny in the native language, and only remotely amusing in English… It may be that my idea of Engrish is somewhat different from everyone else’s, but I can’t help but thinking “Engrish… You used to be cool.”

When my parents first went to Australia they met an old couple who had visited DK years back. They asked my folks what “i fart” ment because they had seen it in an elevator and had been wondering for years what the heck it ment.
