This thread is part of the Translator playground: a place for translators to have fun, to network, to learn, and to hone their translation or linguistic skills. See the announcement here.

Need a quick break from work? In this forum translators and language professionals can share quotes about translation, tongue twisters and word plays, translation challenges, etc.

All are welcome to participate and to add new items to this and the other areas of the Translator playground; have fun with it! If you need help or would like to propose an addition to the Translator playground, contact site staff through the online support system.


Two guys practise their English skills talking about time...

#1: How much watches?
#2: Eleven and a half.
#1: Such much? God, how weather flies!

Another one, somebody asks somebody politely:

Can you TRANSLATE me to the other side of the street?
