Here's one for the South Africans today with these humorous Afrikaans illustrations. As English is my home language I often found things to be quite peculiar when studying Afrikaans especially the idea that teeth + pasta can somehow make the word toothpaste.

This is really interesting! I love how 'teeth' and 'pasta' translates to toothpaste. Too funny!
ReplyDeleteThese illustrations are quite charming, thanks for sharing! x
ReplyDeleteThat is odd - I will have to forward this to my Afrikaans friend!
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your blog and would love it if you stopped by mine sometime.

Tooth Pasta! Ahh I love this so much! I wonder what quirky words we have that make no sense at all to non-english speakers?
