Coffee?

[Euclidthegreek]

But mine said the basically the same thing as Snarky and Kimra's.

커피가 목욕을 마시다. Kopi-ga mokyok-eul mashida.
(The coffee drinks the bath.)

[LordRetard]

Google Translate says "Drink coffee, take a bath." Which makes a thousand times more sense. But I'll trust you anyway. Mine says "go to the fuck."

Okay, let me think...

El café bebe el baño.
Der Kaffee trinkt das Bad.
ᑳᐱ ᐃᒥᕐᑐᖅ... Hmm, I can't find the word for bath. The Inuit sure are different. Anyway that's kaapi imirtuq.

There was a time when I knew a few French words too... Okay, I'm lying.

[Euclidthegreek]

Google translate generally sucks. 커피/Kopi = cofee. 가/ga = subject particle 목욕/mokyok = bath 을/eul = object particle 마시다/mashida = to drink

Thus: Cofee bath drinks, or "The cofee drinks the bath".

[LordRetard]

I know it sucks, I use it all of the time. But I do appreciate the breakdown.

Bathing in coffee would be kind of hot. Although I think caffeine can be absorbed through the skin so if you were sitting in a tub of it you would be feeling it in more than one way.

[Euclidthegreek]

It would make your skin brown. Not in a natural-looking way. It would make you hair darker in a convincing way. I don't think coffee is good for your skin.

[LordRetard]

I know you can get a coffee enema.

Okay;

Bebo mucho café.
Ich trinke viel Kaffee.

[Euclidthegreek]

커피를 많이 마십니다. (kopi-reul mani mashimnida): I drink lots of cofee.

Actually more like "커피를 거의 안 마십니다." (Kopi-reul geoi an mashimnida): I almost never drink cofee.

Do those of you who can speak/write a language which utilizes a non-roman alphabet find that this messes up your English typing? I find myself sometimes using the Korean places for the letters instead of the QWERTY ones, and even when I don't I often get p's and b's or b's and v's confused.

[LordRetard]

I can say that since I started learning Spanish and German, I do mess up b/v and v/w pretty easily. But that's not really the same thing.

[Kimra]

I know you can get a coffee enema.

Why would you know that?

The answer is no. Because Japanese uses the same keyboard, just more button presses per letter. i.e. ka = か

Idos a la chingada.

I said that to my Brazilian friend (well, vete a la chingada) and he got so confused (because it doesn't make any sense). It's a Mexican Spanish phrase, which means that it is apparently the equivalent of vomiting up some of your organs on the listener. Sorry, Ed.

I think the confusion may have something to do with the fact that Brazillians speak Portuguese.

[LordRetard]

Dear lord! I seem to have made a dreadful mistake! I'll inform my friend as soon as possible that he does, in fact, not know any Spanish. He told me he studied Spanish in Brazil and you have kindly told me that he was lying. Also the languages are not very similar and not to a large degree mutually intelligible within their respective geographic areas (i.e. European Portuguese is not similar to European Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese is not similar to Latin American Spanish). I don't know if you've realised this yet but I'm being SARCASTIC.

[Sahan]

Hey, no need for sarcasm. I know they are similar languages, but sometimes the differences are significant enough. Sometimes people try to tell me something in my native tongue, but it can be hard to interpret what they're saying if they mess up the pronunciation or the emphasis, and I am hopeless with Hindi even it is considered a similar language. Also, you didn't say the guy knew Spanish. Sorry for pulling out the sarcasm guns.

I'm getting sarcastic!!

Anyway, I don't actually know what your native language is (can I ask? All I know is that it comes from Sanskrit which doesn't make it easy to guess) but my friend tells me that Portuguese and Spanish are actually very similar (and it is my understanding that they are mutually intelligible). It just so happens that this particular phrase is only used in Mexico.
