I knew that Google Translate was very insistent that people are bound to their wheelchairs in English.

No matter what equivalent term it encounters, it will render that as "wheelchair bound".

Where "bunden" is indeed cognate with "bound", but "buren" is more like "borne".

And also preferred Swedish usage, apparently for decades now. I must say I far prefer the idea of being borne by the chair like a chariot, than being tied to it! (Even in a consensually kinky way, though that may well be someone else's idea of fun! 😅 Main context where it might be remotely appropriate.)

Anyway, I was still startled when I had autotranslate on because my brain was tired, and I ran across this gem! 😳

Where, indeed, this is the original:

Aha, I thought it might have an explanation like this!

Verb participle, vs. unrelated definite noun.

That still struck me as pretty funny, though! After the initial surprise.

There are no doubt some very bad wheelie puns to be made there, but I am still too mentally tired to come up with them right now.

Not blog related but I just can't stop laughing and I thought I might share this with you.. I just tried to practice some korean words and as I typed the first word, it turned out to be, well, let's say misleading... as most of you probably know by now, 안녕 = hello

Well, that is not like that in the world of Papago-app ...
