[peachyatelier]

I just found out it was speak your language day yesterday and now I'm late but it's never too late to flex so here you go

Tegnap magyarul beszéltem a telefonon apukámmal iskolában és a nem magyar osztálytársaim kinevettek. 💀 De nem sértődtem meg nagyon, csak vicces volt nekik kicsit a nyelv hangzása.

Nepovedala by som sa, že viem po slovensky dobre, ale učila som Slovenčinu celý môj život. A maďari ktoré žijú na Slovensku využívajú veľa slovenských slov, aj keď hovoríme po maďaraky, napríklad tepláky, horčica, hranolky, nanuk, občiansky a tak ďalej. :)

Uuuuhhh halo mein name ist Peachy, ich wohne in der Slovakei. Ich bin zwanzig yahre alt und ich lerne Biologie und Chemie am Universität. Ich spreche Deutch nicht so gut. Aber mein lieblingst deutshen Essen sind bayerische Kartoffelsalad mit Leberkäse, Schwarzwald torte, und ich liebe Apfelschorle ^^

Interpret “your language” however you want. It can be your native language, your most spoken language, the language you have the greatest cultural connection to, whatever.

Speak Your Language Day

So I thought since it’s the day for it I’d share some of my favourite expressions in my language. This is probably my favourite thing about my language, we have an expression for pretty much anything. And translating them it’s always fun because it makes them funnier and most of the time they make no sense in english. I used to do this a lot with my sister just for fun. Anyway here it goes. These are some of my favourites.

Desenmerda-te. This one kinda connects to BL. In La Pluie, Tien says this to Tai.

And although the most direct translation of the portuguese expression would be ‘unshit yourself, 'unfuck it' is closer to the spirit. You fucked up, now unfuck yourself. Or in portuguese - ‘Fizeste merda? Desenmerda-te. 

Tirar o cavalinho da chuva. Take the little horse out of the rain. It means to give up on something that just won’t happen. Like an unrealistic expectation. 

Quem não sabe dançar, diz que o chão está torto. Those who can’t dance, will say the floor is tilted. Basically if someone doesn’t have an excuse for something they will blame something else that is out of their control. This is one my faves and it’s one I say whenever I get the chance. 

Fia-te na Virgem e não corras. Trust in the Virgin and don't run. This one is said sarcastically. Like continue to hope for a miracle and don’t do anything about it. 

Muitos anos a virar frangos. A lot of years turning chickens. Basically when you’re talking about something you have a lot of experience in. Whatever it may be. Like someone compliments you on something you’re doing that you have a lot of practice in, and you respond with this expression. 

No cu de Judas. In Judas’ ass. This one is just funny. But it means somewhere really far away, usually in the middle of nowhere.

Falar pelos cotovelos. To talk through one’s elbows. This has been said about me several times. It's basically talking a lot, someone who doesn't shut up will be accused of talking through their elbows. Nascer com o rabo virado para a lua. Be born with your ass facing the moon. Basically someone who is very lucky in life.

I'm gonna stop now cause honestly I could go on forever. Hope you find this amusing. I invite anyone who has some funny expressions in their languages to share their own if they want. And tag me if you do.

Wo goot is dien Plattdüütsch?

Plattdüütsch is mien eerste Spraak.

Ik kann allens verstahn un ok goot sülvst snacken man nich as en Eerstspraakler.

Ik kann (meest) allens verstahn man nich so goot sülvst snacken/proten.

Ik kann dat 'n beten verstahn un ok sülvst 'n paar Wöör oder Sätz seggen.

Habs schonmal gehört und grob verstanden, worum es ging.

Habs schonmal gehört, aber überhaupt nichts verstanden.

Ich verstehe die Frage nicht.

Aujourd'hui, je considère que "fr" quand c'est dans un texte en anglais ça signifie "frère" et rien d'autre (la faute à ma petite sœur qui n'arrête pas de le dire - même à sa propre sœur)
