You recognize when so many coincidental issues occur that you simply begin to imagine it’s an indication? As a result of a number of days in the past my dad texted me about my grandmother (who died once I was 16) and my sister texted me two minutes later asking if I remembered once we requested that very same candy grandma to show us the best way to curse in Czechoslovakian? And I did bear in mind as a result of I’d actually simply found that you need to use your microphone to have google translate totally different languages, and the very very first thing I attempted was the phrase that our grandmother had taught us, which I’d by no means been in a position to translate earlier than as a result of writing Czech is even more durable than talking Czech.
She instructed us the phrase (which we had been by no means to say in entrance of anybody else) meant “Oh be quiet, silly piece of shit” and I at all times assumed that most likely she’d taught a line from the Bible as a substitute as a result of we had no method of realizing the distinction, however that is what confirmed up once I stated the phrase into google translate:
Which is definitely kinda shut? However my grandmother at all times stated that I by no means rolled my r’s sufficient so I attempted the identical phrase once more however with extra of her accent:
And that appears much less correct, but additionally like one thing that may be enjoyable to shout at somebody whenever you’re indignant as a result of how do you reply to that? You don’t. You simply name the police.
However I attempted it as soon as extra, this time saying it the best way I imagined my grandfather (who had a stronger accent) would possibly say it:
Nailed it.
PS. My sister did the identical factor and the interpretation she received was “mouthful of poop”, which truthfully may be probably the most correct as a result of our candy grandmother thought saying soiled phrases was the equal of getting a mouthful of poop and he or she was most likely making an attempt to show us a lesson that took us actually many years to determine.
She was a really sensible girl in any language and I’d let you know that in Czech however all my sister and I bear in mind are the curse phrases as a result of we’re the worst.
