They SO should sell that sign “Meeting with mr. sleepy..” in the engrish store.
that is funny.

By: danman

It’s funny because whoever sells these knows that nasty foreigners find “Engrish” funny and yet here we are laughing because we think they have a really bad understanding of our language….

“Egg Market” translates into “son of a biach”/”bastard” etc, quite vulgar!

It is Eastern Asia and East of Europe, but is only 8 hours west of the continental US, so for me it is Country & Western Engrish.

Of course, the actual sign says, “Ding Lane,” but I think “lame” gives it a little actual English boost.

By: firefly

firefly — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 11:21:24 +0000

Chinese verbs don’t change for time, or for subject (plural, person) but Chinese has tons of “time words” so essentially you express time with adverbs

Recalls Japanese class where I was trying to translate supermarket…
It end up literally meaning super (as in superman or seien DBZ) + market. NOT what I intended…

With my preschool understanding of japanese, there is something like tenses, but as for plurals they’re limited. If I understand right when you say the noun like, say television- depending on context you could be talking about multiple televisions or just one.

We’ve had plenty of people who do speak the languages log in and say they thought it was funny. But I’ve expressed the same sentiment myself, that elsewhere on the planet foreigners are laughing hysterically at English-speakers’ attempts to speak their languages.

No kidding. I can see the occasional typo but that was silly.

The one under the “Meeting with Mr. Sleepy,” near as I can make out, says something like “Got low education, not beauty, my pocket have lot of money.” If I could enlarge it I could be more sure, but I think it’s something like that.

I’m inclined to believe that nobody who can actually speak these languages things Engrish is funny. I’d like to think that somewhere, someone is making fun of Americans for something like this – y’know, just to even the scales.

You say that like it might be a bad thing…

Apropos of something completely different, here’s some footage of my a capella group, at 0:34. You get a quick shot of me in the background (I’m second chair “daaaa-dum” in this piece).

In my case, there’s a very simple equation, where R=the number of repents and P=the number of pents: R=P+1.

Which reminds me of a cartoon; a couple of Hollywood stereotype cowboys are coming out of a saloon, and see a poster advertising Mallrats. One turns to the othe and says “Great, an Eastern!”
