ZombiepirateWhat's your favorite joke that doesn't translate to English very well?
KennystillaliveTwo divers meet. One say “Hi” the other says “where?!”
Two hunters meet. Both of them are dead.
Which language of origin?
German:
Joke: “Hi” is spoke like “Hai” German for shark. So when two divers meet and one says hi, the other thinks, where is the shark??
Joke: “to meet” is translated in german as treffen. Treffen can also the mean to hit. So the joke goes from a freindly meet up between hunters to both of them hitting eachother while on the hunt and dying.
It works in Norwegian as well, both of them.
But for the shark one in Norwegian there’s this one: What did the sand say to the shark? Hihi What did the shark say to the sand? Hi sand
