Hoped someone would post this.
But yet you did not hang it on the outside?!
If Cliff Richard went on a summer holiday with the young ones?
The Ryanair prank was funnier.
What places in Spain exactly?
Las Ramblas, Barcelona.
Though many locals will insist that it isn’t Spain.
Aye, that’s Catalonia.
I was curious about the places in Spain that could do with these signs. But it’s okay. I’ve found other things to be curious about.
its the province of Catalonia which is in Spain
Not a province, Ho, it’s an autonomous nation.
Not a nation.
strictly speaking it’s an Autonomous Communitiy/ comunidad autónoma, or in Catalan: comunitat autònoma,
Sorry, General Franco!
Sheesh!
I’ve seen that on my travels at some stage. Gave me a giggle.
Did you know that ‘pleasant journey’ in german is ‘Gute FARTE’!!!!!
Oh languages, you are the living end.
Other languages are like totes funny!
Considering that you chose your username based on the fact that one of the words sounds a bit like another word, I’ll assume that your comment isn’t sarcastic.
Heh. Burn.
the Spanish verb Molestar and the English verb to molest don’t just “sound the same, hur hur” – they have the same etymology!
late Middle English (in the sense ‘cause trouble to, vex’): from Old French molester or Latin molestare ‘annoy’, from molestus ‘troublesome’.
deranger in French means something similar – it also sounds like an English word – because the too have same etymology
Irish people- your facility for languages is pathetic
Haha what an attention seeking ponce! I’d say it took you ages to google all that. Plus you’re from Drumcondra. Get over yourself clown
@Hosanna in the Hiace – It’s not Spanish, it’s Catalan. No molestar is the Spanish for do not disturb. I agree that it’s a childish post though. They’re cognates anyway, with a not entirely unrelated meaning.
So, OP was disturbed.
