We’ve had tons of fun with Chinglish over the years here, and we hope you have as well. Studying a language can be difficult and frustrating at times, so once in a while it’s just good to sit back and have a good laugh. For all the times that Chinese people have misunderstood me or laughed at me for my silly mistakes in their language, I always just flip through my massive album of Chinglish signs and have a hearty laugh knowing that they fail just as hard at English as I do at Chinese. Here are a few links to past posts for you to get caught up. Bookmark them, share them with your friends, and laugh:
Don’t you dare shoot this wall!
Mmm… sounds good!
That’s exactly what I think when I see a no smoking sign.
What credentials do you think they’re looking for?
“You are beautiful when you are smiling. You are good when you are sight-seeing. You are terrific when you are behaving yourself.”
I always urinate into the pool…
“Wish you a higher promotion. Be careful of the door of the lift close at any time.”
No idea what’s going on here…
I loves me some hot acid on my cucumbers!
Not sure how my Jewish friends would feel about this dish…
Does it really?
“Shrimp you a jump.” Wonder what they sell?
Absolutely!
I always try to avoid that Eminem song.
But what if I don’t want to halt?
“Please clean up the outdoor dejecta of your pet.” That’s an interesting way to put it.
I’d love to see what’s on the menu here.
You never let me go into the mountain, China!
“High quality tobacco alcoholic wine and tea supermarket.” All the alcoholics love shopping here!
They really got something against striding in China.
If you’ve spent any time in China, I’m sure you’ve seen some epic Chinglish signs as well. Feel free to post any of your favorites here!
