Can you share a funny or awkward translation moment you've experienced?
In conversational Bengali, "Beshi chaglami korish na" would translate to "Don't do such madness", only if one is aware of the language fully. But "chaglami" is not registered as an actual word; it is just used in informal conversations derived from the word "chagol" meaning "Goat". Hence, there is always a misunderstanding regarding why one is being called a "Goat-ness". (adding '-mi' to a word in Bengali is similar to adding '-ness' in English; e.g., "Great-ness".)
