It is common for Malaysians to know more than one language as we are multilingual country. Languages that are most commonly taught in school are English, Malay, Mandarin, Tamil and Arabic.

However, knowing so many different languages would ultimately affect mastering one particular language, right?

Check out some of the biggest fails Malaysians have made when translating certain words.

If you’re wondering what special flower that is, it is a poppy. A poppy bud looks a lot like a vajayjay, which is probably why the translator wrote ‘Chibai‘?

This one takes the cake. 

 

So, when doing translations, please get someone who’s a pro at the language to vet through. You don’t want to end up making epic mistakes like these people. Though they did make us laugh!
