Lexi's eyes sparkle with delight as she dives into r/engrish, laughter accompanying her journey both day and night.
Are you stalking her? Kinda sounds like you are.

I'm happy CZcams asked me to rate this comment
Amen🙏

its always a good day when lexi narrates
Entirely agree
It took me too long to understand, but "sissytiffy"? They tried to write CCTV, not having seen it spelled out before I bet. Which usually means Closed Circuit TeleVision, that is, wired in cameras to look at things locally, and not the wireless broadcasting ones you can view remotely. Probably used for the wireless ones too, just because people expect the sissy-tiffy cameras to be the building's security cams that the security personell look at the feeds from.
i name the cctv as cicitivi
@@equilibrum999 X'D that's hilarious. Mostly because "cici" can mean "tit" or "titty" in an another language.

She never left?
@@bumblebeeyellowdragon Jesus christ man you have 810 comments lol
@@bumblebeeyellowdragonit has been a while since lexi did a video, mostly because she has been focusing on her channel as well

Although fun fact: Emkay is not my highest commented on channel.
I love when Lexi Kitty becomes Chaos Lexi Kitty 03:24 to 03:30 Yes Vegans can eat NOTHING! made me laugh so hard. Thanks Lexi you are so much fun when you are chaos. I also like the Lexi Explains because I see how passionate you are about computer technology, and calling dangerously expanding lithium batteries angry spicy pillows makes me chuckle. I hope to see more.
fun fact this is scientifically proven to be true, they feel pain and emotion.
the entity called lexi has many forms, one of which she becomes approximately 50% chaos 50% kitty 50% lexi
When on a school trip abroad, the girls in our class got asked "some c0ck for the ladies?" at a restaurant. The server seemed oblivious to the fact that he was pronouncing coke wrong, and was confused by the giggles. Another server apparently overheard him and told him in a low voice next to his ear what he just asked them. He got beet red in the face and made sure to over-pronounce the word coke after that... 😂
aww poor guy lmfao
Well, did anyone want coke?
oh that poor man-
11:30 - if I remember right, the reason all the knockoff Transformers are labeled with "Deformation" is because it's a case of back-translation. The characters that you get when you translate "Transformer" into Chinese can translate back into English as either "Transformation" or "Deformation" - and the latter apparently is the much more common translation. Hence...
1:25 some languages actually do say that you have years. For example, in French, "He is 38 years old" is "Il a 38 ans." That literally means "He has 38 years."
@@extantfellow46 Bonjour, soldat.
2:39 so this one is definitely intentional. Kurtis Conner is a CZcams comedian and this is probably related to one of his videos. No idea what it means though.
5:12 knowing Lexi is trans this sentence not only makes more sense but i agree being that im also trans lol (mtf for clarification)
6:30 The countries that make cheap clothing for the U.S. often just keep leftovers. Like American companies will have shirts made that say "[Sports team] 2023 Champions!" for both teams in the finals, then only import the ones with the actual winners and the rest will get sold off cheap in the country that made them. I would not be surprised if that was a "funny" shirt that got made in the 2000s at the start of the Iraq War (or even in the '90s during Desert Storm) and just never sold.
01:00 I remember John Pinette made a joke about going to a Chinese buffet where the owner got mad that he was there for four hours.
I laughed at most of them. Great video! And also, can we all agree that Lexi is the best narrator in the video? She explains what each pictures mean. I like it! 😊👍
The only good thing about waking up early for work. Can watch the new Emkay vids at breakfast
Hahaha imagine actually needing to go to work.
Kid, you'll be working later on in life as well...
@@BellBewwy I'm 31 and a veteran. It was a joke.
At least I know what happened with the "he has 38 years" since that's how we say it in Spanish (and other romance languages too I think) so it's clearly a case of translating it literally rather than doing it the proper way.
As an aside, I can't believe there's a cat out there that's older than me, wtf?
yeah, fun fact the fancy name for this is a “calque”
2:48 kurtis is just silly like that
Kurtis... I hardly know her
@@abandoned_project lmfao
1:32 Plot twist: the car just bought a new person for itself
5:00 "Please we must follow instructions. Remember elders/ancestors once said that unruly children will die from heat(specifically sun)." While I don't know which country specifically, the language does resemble the local ones found throughout the Caribbean or some central and south American countries. I think it's some form of proverb similar(not in meaning but as an example) to "devil finds work for idle hands". As for the meaning, its basically "Listen to instructions/warnings or you could get hurt or die"
THANK YOU
That's what I was thinking when I saw it I was looking for the comment
Belizean creole i think

Okay, but for that last one: "The soup of Sung" actualy sounds like a nice video game item that gives some cool temporary boosts.
You probably unlock being able to buy it from Sung himself after you help him in a side quest or quest line.
If it's a craftable item in game, I bet it's one of those epic-tier recipes that requires super rare ingredients~
I will happily bought from Sung Kang if I have the chance😆
All retail stores needs that first one
Yeah
Would be impossible in many US stores.
@@bumblebeeyellowdragon it's a joke
@@michaelgunnels9694So was mine but I guess it wooshed over you.
@Hacker K I know and I think they did that on purpose
5:23 Oooh, I'm totally stealing this one. Next time I'm guilt-tripping myself for no reason (bad habit; thanks, mother), I'll just tell my husband I'm taking "blame damage"!
Emotional damage.
So, about the Nude Tr*mp sign, I've actually seen that in person! It is less horrifying than it sounds. It's basically a Japanese strip-poker cafe. There are no ex-presidents involved. Japanese uses "Trump" to refer to the standard deck of playing cards, as opposed to hanafuda cards.
Ooooo, now that you say. It really sounds like a bad google translate attempt for the word "toranpu".
so it's basically like a "Trump card," which also has no correlation to the former president
0:48 this is actually pretty accurately translated. its supposed to be little fat boy barbeque lol
think one of those signs was supposed to say "Avoid getting sunburn on your ear lobes by wearing a wide brimmed hat "
5:39 "Clearing horny" makes more sense when you realize that the outermost layer of skin, which is comprised of dead skin cells, is called the stratum corneum, which literally means "horny layer." So this is probably a bad translation of "exfoliates" or something similar.
I'm going to put a label saying "Idea Powder" on my instant coffee, and no one can stop me! 😂
1:10 OKAY! If I remember/am assuming correctly, that's a John Pinet reference! He did this famous joke about being at an All-You-Can-Eat Chinese buffet and the owner would yell at him saying "YOU BEEN HERE 4 HOUR! YOU GO NOW!"
12:34 This page actually does say that these are funny translations you'd see in this country.
With that said, "The soup of sung" is actually really good.
1:49
In Japanese, both "can eat" and "be eaten" can be written as 「食べられる」, and it has one more meaning which is the honorific form of the verb "to eat" (although it's usually considered grammarly wrong).
Did the first sign really say "Do not dumb here"? What was it really trying to tell?
@@munirahbakar4123 It's supposed to say "Please don't litter here." I guess they were trying to type "do not dump [garbage] here"
@@AccuracyKaI'm split 50/50 on it being an error on the actual sign, and it being an edited photo "for lulz".
0:42 Lexi, it is past midnight, I didn't need to be accurately called out in this way
I one saw a news article about this person. They had multiple personalities some of them caused them to go blind some defensive and a couple other odd things that only applied when that personality was at the helm. So you could say their disabling had been failed
This is like weird to say but I've been going through it and I really needed this. Thank you so much for everything you do
0:00 welp, i wouldn't even survive a SECOND with that sign around
“No thanks, fully clothed one was bad enough”
_wheeeeeeze_
(Timestamp- 12:03)
12:15 To be fair, "be turtle" is probably a great way to improve mental health
When Lexi reads 'Avoid' as 'Android' LOL
0:01 According to Google Translate this says "Garbage here, please don't throw it away." Which I think is supposed to mean "Put your trash here, please don't litter."
0:23 That supposedly says "Fresh Fool Fish". Might be something only a Chinese local understands.
1:07 Oh my god that happened to a coworker of mine back in '99! Her and her whole family got kicked out of a buffet with "You been here four hour! You go now! You no come back!"
5:05 Actually that's a Jamaican phrase "Hard ears pickney dead a sun hot," which basically means "you can't teach people who won't listen."
9:30 Google's translation is even weirder than the sign. "For breastfeeding, only for men." I guess men are built different in China.
9:54 That was probably someone screwing around because the translation is just "Keep away from children or pregnant women."
11:20 That translates to "Over 30 years old, no matter how hard it is, you have to understand what is the overall economy." So I think they were trying to be like "Learn Macroeconomics before 30 or die trying." As in, make it a priority.
12:08 Actually that one looks like it translates pretty much accurately. "Don't do your best, but do your best." Um...sure.
12:35 This one is most likely a joke because the very top of the page translates to "Funny menu translation".
9:30 The correct translation should be: "For breastfeeding only, men are not allowed to enter"
12:08 This statement actually means:
"Don't do your best to save, but do your best to achieve. "盡力而為" has negative connotations, often implying "doing your best" when the project has failed or those involved are not enthused.
the first one is wrong, it just say's "Do not litter here" i.e. "Do not dump (your trash) here"
That Chinese buffet window sign is straight out of a John Pinette sketch. LOL
0:23 I'm that fish
1:29 probably badly translated from a Romance language. I know in French and Spanish you say ‘I have X years’. For example: ‘tengo [age] años’/‘j’ai [age] ans’ (I have [age] years old).
same in portuguese!
1:00 That Chinese Buffet one sounds a lot like a joke from comedian John Pinette (RIP)... "You go now! You here 4 hour! You eat all our food!"
this has been the most amazing emkay video yet.
please more do
0:57 I heard a saying one time and it went
“Never trust a skinny chef” so I guess that’s why

In English, the spelling for many words shifted a few hundred years ago. The fact that it’s called “The Great Vowel Shift” and not “The Great Vowel Movement” disappoints me to no end.

I wish I had a camera phone when Windows 7 was coming out. Back when Walmart put signage on their big old anti-theft beeper things, the signage said "Windows 7. Coming October 22th."
"Who dares to enter the Soup of Sung"
(in a scary voice)
My dad had a remote control plane once and it said "it will result the fuselage hurt" on it
9:21 fun fact the healthy ammount of pooping is actually once every 3 days to 3 times a day. less than that and you are constipated more than that and there is something wrong with your digestive tract.
1:00-Why is that on r/Engrish? The message there is very clear! People do that, where they sit around there for four hours in the buffet and not eat anything. It takes up space that they could be using to seat new customers! XD
11:49 grug trafficing is a crime punishable by death
I, myself, enjoy vowel movements. During: "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" After: "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh"
YES YES YES YES YES WOOOOO MORE ENGRISH
I got a good laugh out of most of this, but that 'menu' at the end just made me blow my grape icee out of my nose. So thanks for that.
5:32 yeah, because it has to do with alchemy. oh… wait… that’s not how it works…

0:01 Me to twitter:

"Yeah, can I get some FRESH IDIOT, please? Yeah, yeah it's fine if they're kinky." Goddamnit I love Lexi-

I also have one indeed a very good friend
"People die if they are killed... or at least, that is how it is supposed to happen." ~Shirou Emiya.
Not the ''calograms'' LOL 2:29
12:09 the chinese says “Don’t just stop at the best of your ability, put your all into it” I can completely see why it was mistranslated thpugh because both phrases can be used to mean “try your best” on their own
The one at 10:50 where it is censored at the top but the bottom is visible still made me chuckle
“THE DINNERS ARE HUNGRY” lol I’m dying
Im so glad the president of Taiwan is chosen via video games. Finally, a nation I can get behind.

If anyone has ever seen the CW series Nikita, from 2010-2013- it was a show about a black ops assassination unit. Cancel was their euphemism for killing people.
the only healing i need after vowel movements is emotional
12:40 this is firetrucking deliberate and im loving the translators for doing that
Honestly the funniest part about the fresh idiot sign is that it's not a mistranslation, it's literally called idiot fish in Chinese
The only thing worse than watching and or playing horror games at night, is watching emkay videos at night, and trying to not laugh
1:23 that cat actually isn't very old, he just looks like that because he has the cat version of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome!
I once saw a sign that straight up said “be window”
To be fair, the sign right next to it said “be careful window”
Yaay Lexi is here!
Her voice is the definition of BEUTIFUL.
I can think of several places off the top of my head that can use that Do Not Dumb Here sign RIGHT NOW
