Foreign idioms?

[DustyMcDustbuster]

Do any of you have any funny foreign language idioms? I particularly love the French for loads of their’s, but this is my favourite.

J’ai une taupe au guichet.

I have a mole at the checkout.

Or... I’m touching cloth.

Nope! But putting phrases and songs in to Google translate is fun! Name a quote or song and a language and I'll send back what it says if you like, or the best of rather x

@Kittycuddles oooooooh fab idea!!! What about :

I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body

English to swedish to croation and back to irish and back to english again leaves it as

Drum roll please

Duh dum dum dum

I love your shape
We feel like a magnet
Even if my heart comes too
I'm in love with your body
I'm in love with your body

Do you listen to global pillage? Theres a round of idiioms everyweek and fil titles being translated directly back into english. V entertaining.

@Kitty haha. Bit fucking underwhelming though.

@redexpat no, I haven’t. I love idioms, they’re so expressive. The French have another about periods which translates to “the English have landed”

I know they normally are so good when they are rude though!

Oh what is the period one please?

@mammmamia the French is “les Anglais ont débarque”

It’s based on the English wearing red coats... 😂
