Lost in translation…

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Some Arabic phrases translated word for word (or close enough) to English seem to somehow lose their meaning or sound utterly hilarious.

I’ve only added 4 translated sentences below and hope that you can help me by adding your own translated Arabic-to-English sentences in the comment section. I will later compile them all into one nice list :)

لا تحسب حسابي – don’t calculate my calculation

ينصر ربك – victor your lord

اختصرني – summarize me

حل عني – solve about me

Add your own translated sentences in the comment section, and help me grow this list and I will later organize them into a prolonged and comprehensive list.
