Some funny🤣 Portuguese - English stuff...
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
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
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.

Ahahahahahaha! Traduzir expressões portuguesas é um mimo. Agora, a melhor tradução deve ser a de "estás armado em carapau de corrida! " 😂😂😂
Obrigado. Adicionei a tua também.
Ahahah nice! Melhor que racing horse mackerel... só facestick of race! 😂😂😂😂😂
🤣 🤣 🤣
Dear @forykw
Did I ever tell you that my wife is partly portuguese? :) I'm guessing some of your ancestors came all the way to Malaysia and made a babies and they made another basies. And I'm married to one of them :)
Smooth read. Upvote on the way :) Indeed direct translations can be sometimes funny, sometimes just awful. I remember once feeling gently insulted simply because someone used translator and we experiences some miscommunication - resulting with wrong translation which I found a bit offensive. Lol.
ps. Check out my latest post if you have a chance. I would appreciate your feedback.
Have a great weekend ahead buddy
Yours, Piotr
You a lucky guy... that's all I would say.
And yes... lot's of words actually have the same meaning ans sound in other cultures like, Vietnamese, Japanese, etc... recently I saw a post somewhere that showed me this. I think it was on twitter. Simply amazing.
Portuguese had an huge empire by 1500-1600's... And recently I have found that New Zealand first Maori natives came around 1600's... which is sort of cumulative with the fact that the Portuguese/Spanish, where colonizing and exploring the world. Sharing and unveiling new technologies that others started to replicate.
I hated History when I was at school... now I love it. KARMA?
Indeed @forykw. I do consider myself a very lucky guy.
Check out this picture:
Now you love history? You're one hell of an interesting guy :)
Muito bom 😂😂😂😂😂 o google transplante é uma pérola. Com certeza a AI vai fazer milagres nesta área
Quando ouves a tradução ainda é mais giro (as vezes)...
Se tiveres alguma pra colocar, diz... que eu edito o post.
Agora é um ver se te avias... e a tradução: Now is a see if you get 😂😂😂 mas em boa verdade tb não sei como traduzir esta 😁
Basicamente... um sinónimo de... "Boa sorte... prá merda que vem lá...", não?
Ya do tipo, desenrasca-te ou vê se te desenrascas... quem usava esta era a minha avó 😁
@forykw, It's true that no tools can convey our emotions effectively for sure.

They will get better... I have seen google learning with my translation by recording what I amend.
