My grandfather was Italian but he immigrated to Brazil with his family when he was 8. He once told me a story about how he went to buy some butter at a local store and almost got punched by the owner. Bit of context here, in Italian butter is called "burro"... in portuguese however, burro means "idiot". So what actually happened is that he went to the store and kept calling the owner an idiot for no reason at all.

When I was living in London in my youth, my German Mum came to visit. She was adamant that even with only her bits of school English from long ago, she’d venture out alone, too. One time she was looking to fix her cracked nailpolish, but she had forgotten the word, and could only gesture out what she meant, so she wiped her nails. The Indian shopkeeper’s eyes lit up and he said triumphantly „Ahh, you want limova!“ Miraculously, that made Mum remember the word „remover“, and she told me later how pleased both the shopkeeper and she had been about the successful business transaction… 😂

While I was working as a receptionist in a hotel in London, the management decided to place, right in front of the reception desk, a neon sign wishing guests happy New Year in different languages. Since there was no letter "ñ" for the word ”año" (the Spanish word for year) they decided to write an "n" instead, making it "ano". So, I would spend 8 hours everyday reading every few minutes "Feliz ano nuevo" (happy new anus) in my mother tongue. Some of the guests even waited for the message to appear to say it to me in Spanish. I can still see that neon in my nightmares.

True story. My auntie went to the shop keeper and said " you good" the shop keeper replied " yes I'm good" she then said " no no no, you good" he replied " I'm good, you are good, we are all good". She then left the shop and told the family about this, turns out that she just wanted yogurt.

Me and my friend kept asking the butcher to give us "Yirmi" (20) kg of meat instead of "Yarım" (1/2) kg, and he kept insisting with gestures that "Yirmi" would be aaaa lot, he was even laughing whilst doing so.😂 Then I sensed that something is wrong, and googled the Turkish of "half kg".

I had several amusing episodes of miscommunication when I worked in France with a very limited understanding of the French language garnered from 1 year of high school French in America. I had learned in high school that bathroom translated to “salle de bain” in French. At a restaurant, I asked: “Ou est la salle de bain?” The waitress had a very perplexed expression. I repeated myself several times, more slowly and loudly each time. Finally, one of my co-workers explained that the correct phrase is “Ou est la toilet?” He further explained that a bathroom in French literally is a room that has a bathtub in it for bathing, and the waitress was confused as to why I wanted to take a bath in the middle of dinner.

When I was a kid, my family moved to the US for a year for my fathers job. My mom wasn't very used to speaking English. Now, in Dutch we have the word "hoor" which translates to "hear". It is often added to a sentence to add a friendly denial of a presumption someone has, about you wanting something from them. Especially when that presumption they had would give a slight inconvenience to them if it is correct. It's sort off a "don't worry about it" In the first week we arrived, me and my mom went grocery shopping. My mom proceeded to pay for our groceries with some trouble due to the difference in currency. After which the cashier (a very neat, conservative Christian looking woman) asked kindly: would you like a receipt miss? After which my mom, being nervous in her first interaction with an english speaking person, waved her hand dismissively and yelled: "Haha oh no! no thank you HOOR!". Take in mind that the word "hoor", is pronounced the exact same way as "whore". I still can't get over the memory of the cashiers look of utter shock and disdain, and my poor mom's confusion

My father thought that maybe he had small children at home that is why he was asking for nappies, So my father bought them from the nearby market and handed them over to him.

There's no reason for me to assume that just because her English was as bad as my dad's, then she must've been stupid or something.

After I started repeating him, I unintentionally started even laughing a bit, cause for some reason "sart" reminded me of the word "fart". Eventually I understood that he meant SALT.

I went to a chip shop run by a Scottish couple. She asked if I wanted my sausage buttered. Confused me,as I know the scots are always creating weird things like battered mars bars. Then I realised she'd asked if I wanted a battered sausage🙂

Worked at a Savers in the Donation Center. As we're closing up and elderly woman pulls up to the dock and tells me she has a "Box of Warm Feces" to donate. I tell her no, we won't take the box. She looks confused and told me again to take the box of "Warm Feces" again I tell her we're not interested in Feces. She says to me "You look. Very good. Very warm. Best quality feces" and opens the box....it was full of FLEECE blankets. I explained what she said and we both had a good laugh

I was once stopped in the street while walking back to work at lunchtime by a young lad with a Midlands accent who wanted to know the way to "Car Ease". I hadn't heard of this shop, but immediately thought it was probably the new car accessories shop I was aware had recently opened nearby. I told him I wasn't sure exactly, but thought I knew where he meant and sent him off towards that, suggesting he asked someone again in the next street. He thanked me and went on his way. It was only when I was almost back at work that my mind suddenly realised that he'd been asking the way to "Curry's ". Fortunately, Curry's was also in roughly the direction I'd sent him!

My sister had to buy ‘bloem’ (dutch for flowers and flour) for a cake and came back home with flowers. We were first generation Moroccans in Holland.

Another true story. A lady I know (from North East England-won't name her) once walked into a supermarket and asked a member of staff if they had any ''bastard chicken''. After a few moments of confusion, the member of staff tentatively asked ''Do you mean basted chicken?'' ...Yup, in Geordie she just said it the way she'd read it.

When I was in high school I got to take a trip to Europe. In particular to France and Germany. I was in the French language class at my school at the time. When we were in Europe there was another tourist group along the same bridge I think in Germany walking alongside us. It was a Japanese tourist group. We both kind of looked at each other and they said hello. And we said hi back. But we got over enthusiastic and we also said, “Hi! Are you from Japan? We’re from the US.” And then added, “We’re from Ohio…” And suddenly the entire group of Japanese tourists said, “Ohhh…Ohayou!” At the time we all were extremely confused. It was only afterwards that we realized that they thought we said good morning to them in Japanese-when we really just said we were from the state of Ohio. 😅 But it was hilarious after that. Because they were so happy, such a huge change in manner. They even jumped into our group photo our tour guide was taking of our group at the end of the bridge. I’ll never forget that. 😄

We all lived in a fairly small neighborhood and basically knew our classmates on the trip from elementary school all the way through high school-we all went to the same school since elementary. And basically the people who went on the trip from our school were all very different-like a Breakfast Club bunch. A popular boy went, some nerds, etc. We all got along though.

When speaking any of the Romance languages (French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian), I often have difficulty keeping track of the gender of nouns and often used the wrong articles. German is especially difficult because there are 3 genders and the articles change if the same noun is an object or subject in the sentence. When I was working in Tunisia (where very few people speak English), I was conversing in my broken French and trying to understand my co-workers who were speaking to me in a mix of French and Arabic. Because of my Chinese heritage, several co-workers asked if I was good at karate (which really is a Japanese form of martial arts) and whether I knew Bruce Lee (Bruce Lee films were very popular in the 1970s). Trying to be clever/witty, I replied: “Mais oui. Bruce Lee est ma cousine.” Everyone laughed, and at first I thought they were laughing at my joke. In fact, they were laughing at my poor French grammar. you see, “cousine” is feminine, and I should have said “mon cousin.” Finally, someone explained to me that perhaps I am Bruce Lee’s sister but Bruce Lee is not my (female) cousin.
