Looking for sayings in non-English languages translated to English verbatim
Hey! I’m creating a bard that is going to use a lot of sayings/expressions/quotes that sound confused or like total gibberish. I’m from a non-English speaking country and for the most part our sayings sound complete absurd when translated verbatim to English.
Some examples:
- “Now you’ve taken a shit in the blue closet” (Someone majorly screwed up)
- “Don’t buy the pig in the bag” (Make sure you know what you’re getting before committing to something)
Any fun examples from other non-english languages would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
