今週の日本語誤解 (1)

Dreadful Japanese top 3!


Just a countdown of my top 3 retarded things I said and did in Japanese this week!


At number 3 we have this: 

mmmmmm


This is pork. We can all plainly see that. However I thought it was beef and now I have loads of slappy pork offcuttings and no idea what to use them for. 

- 豚 <-- pig
- 牛 <-- cow

They don't even look similar (-_______-)



At number 2:

I wanted to say 'シャワーを浴びなきゃ' (I need to get a shower), instead I said 'シャワーをかけなきゃ' meaning something like 'i just need to go and hang my shower' . Slight confused faces from my flatmates was the reply to this statement.



And at number 1:

It's another spoken fail but this time to do with food! I was breakfast time and I tried to say '朝ご飯を作る、お腹が空いたから' meaning ' i'm gonna make breakfast because i'm hungry'. Which is a fair enough statement. HOWEVER what I said was "朝ご飯を作る、腹が立つから'... meaning 'i'm going to make breakfast BECAUSE IM ANGRY!!! raaaarghh!'

 Easy mistake to make... same symbol and everything >__<



Face-palm
