I love when Smorkius said "it's Smorkin' time" and Smorked all over the bad guys

“Uterus falls down” could be referring to a terrifying phenomenon where if you give birth it can collapse later in life. It happened to my aunt recently and she needed surgery to correct it. She hasn’t even given birth a lot, only twice
Happened to my mum too. Apparently it can just... detach from it's anchor points and collapse.
yeah my mom had that happen to her too, and i'm her only kid. sometimes it just kinda does that
@@thelemoncoffee horrifying that it can pop out with one. My desire to have kids has dropped from 0 to -65
7:14 actully this one is one of the Japanese slang. 飯テロ (food terrorism) is basically a act of sending food picture to someone is hungry/working on diet to make them even more hungry.
It’s 3am and I’m laughing my ass off at “food terrorism” 💀
foot derrorism
For once slag is actually funny
True! It’s not a mistranslation, it’s an actual thing (and pretty unkind-so don’t do it).
I heard that many Japanese people think smoke is "smork" because of a single poorly translated sign.
Cool
Smork alam
Hand me a smork will ya
So, should I use the smorker for this recipe, or liquid smork?
Makes sense because the “o” sound in Japanese is pronounced as in “dog”
Goodness gracious me, as much as I enjoy all the narrators of Emkay, there's just something about Jack's voice and brand of humor that always puts a smile on my face. Either way, I'm glad I found this channel!
6:18 The uterus does indeed fall down and as a woman that sounds absolutely terrifying. Happened to a about 70 year old family member of mine. Had a device put in to physically hold the uterus walls up. From my knowledge it’s not the most comfortable thing putting in and having in. I don’t know the technical name for it but yes, it falls down for some older women.
I have a new fear
@@scrootlemcdoomper6290 congrats. It’s not fun to know about but it is good to know about.
Yes! Uterine Prolapse isn’t talked about enough! Neither are any of the other Prolapses
@@Ellocellow Exactly
@@Beainkle the first time i learned about it was in veterinary assistance, not in Human Development (it can happen in Labor,) or in any of my Highschool physiology and anatomy classes, it’s more common then People think
8:30 Jack attempting what I would guess Indonesian sounds like he just got his jaw dislocated trying to eat an entire wheel of parmesan cheese. And I love every second of it.
Lmfao. It was glorious. He did hati hati really well and everything else just sounds so painful to hear and read XD
Ikr like what was thaaaaaaat 😭😭
He said it doesn't need like the Sims lol
@@burpaleese Especially when he spells "memecahkan" lol
As an Indonesian, not everyone has to know Indonesian
"uterus falls down" MAY mean uterine prolapse.
7:26 Malaysian here. The one at the top is a Malay/Indo proverb literally translated to “being shy will get you nowhere”. It means that we should always ask questions in the workplace or school, as being too reserved will get you nowhere.

On the "uterus fall down" one. Yes. Someone's uterus can literally just fall out of the body or collapse entirely. It's horrifying. Worst nightmare.
5:44 To be fair, "poop feeling" is quite a common descriptor to describe a soft, cushion-y texture used by quirky internet people in China. It's really weird but the translation technically isn't wrong lol
The feeling isn't wrong either. It's just something you wouldn't describe something as if you wanted customers not from China.
4:38 I love how the first line is completely comprehensible, but it makes less and less sense the further down you go until it just becomes a word jumble.
Yeah lol
0:37 the fact that he says WARNING in a fruity voice after he saw the true colours 😂
O
I swear, that is 100% a razer product. Only razer would throw an RGB label onto any of their products.
Honestly, a scammer asking for a tractor is the most understandable and respectable utilization of scam tactics I've seen. Seriously, that would probably make them rich there, and they would have a much better handle on feeding their friends and family.
My great grandparents had a large multi million grain farm and holy shit the tractors they needed where massive and expensive, if I remember it was 1mil per tractor and farmers just buy em like it’s no big deal.
Also, that “crore” thing is not engrish. Indians use lakhs (100,000) and crores (10,000,000) to express bigger numbers. The scammer was asking for 20,000,000 rupees.
Is it just me or did anyone else think all the Emkay narrators were one person just doing accents.
Maybe they are...

3:22 is a pin designed by Strike Gently Co! They just released it. It is among my favorites along with a carton that reads "dumb bitch juice" and a crab with a knife. Highly recommend, all of their stuff is great.
9:27 i live in constant fear now
7:50
... no it doesn't. "Existed" is past tense. "Exist" is present tense. You exist.
Ah yes, let’s make the warning signs pretty with rainbows, because, I’ll actually pay attention to it then ^^ lol loving these videos
it looks like it might be a razer product so the rainbows kinda make sense in that context but I'm not entirely sure
@@jasonpugliano that actually kinda makes sense, I just have a hard time paying attention to things unless they’re brightly colored lol
@Guy Whose opinions will offend you ok but could your "perfect" english beat goku? didn't think so
2:38 肠粉 (chang2 fen3), which was translated here as "intestine powder", refers to a type of steamed noodles made from non-glutinous rice sheets formed into a roll-type shape. It gets its name from how the tightly rolled noodles (fen 粉, for context rice vermicelli is known as mi3 fen3 米粉) look like pig (zhu 猪) intestines (chang 肠), and is sometimes stuffed with filling before sauce is drizzled over. This dish is commonly seen in some provinces of China, Malaysia and Singapore under the names Chee Cheong Fan or Jyu Cheung Fun (rendered in English), and is also known as 猪肠粉 (zhu1 chang2 fen3).
So why "intestine powder"? As shown above, chang 肠 refers to intestines, but fen 粉 also is used to refer to powder. As such, if you directly translate chang fen 肠粉 into English without sensitivity to contextual features, you'll end up with this strange answer. In context, this particular product is used to steam the uncooked mixture to form those rice sheets, and then shape then into the noodles... in addition to whatever other steaming you intend to do. Despite its name, it is possible to prepare this dish using only plant-based ingredients, since it only requires rice and tapioca flours, water, and a special soy sauce with a vegetable filling, if you desire.
r/engrish is what introduced me to Reddit. Thank you, Emkay.
3:28 I think I saw someone selling this on TikTok, they said it was intentionally grammatically incorrect
"Uterus fall out" is unfortunately quite common 😅
Thanks EmKay for more amazing content
9:52 I had horrible flashbacks to the horrible Pinnochio remake when he said "I'm alive!"
the fact I was watching a different EmKay video when I got the notification for this video
i once went to a restaurant in yucatán and i found something on the menu that said “we are anxious to attende you as you deserve” i think they were trying to say something like “we can’t wait to serve you today”?
I feel so dumb for not knowing that doors could get cancer
I love when englishius said "it's english time" and englished the bad guys
It is now in my daily routine to grab a snack and watch Emkay. Favourite part of my day!
I too have a problem with "indigo." Some brands of paints or paint software classify it as a shade of blue, while other brands of paint or paint softwaren classify it as a shade of purple, while yet there are others that say it's neither blue or purple, but darker than both. What is it already?
This is why indigo has been my enemy since I was 5.
Indigo is a Purple.
Change my mind.
It's a blurple
Indigo is a purpure born in dark ages.
It’s intermediate between blue and purple. It’s both and neither.

Please acknowledge the fanart! Now it’s just put on the side and shown, which really barely makes it better than not being shown at all! It should be an outro, just like how it was before all these unneeded changes!
8:00 As a man, I do like feeling the air in my vagina, I need one of those e-scooters.
3:09 it's a "cleaning" service.
Don't know why but I thought the "corn freaks" was so hilarious 1:44
My fellow Japanese cousins are like "Engrish is soo hardo why can't everyone study Japanese so we don't have to speaku Engrish?"
Uhm hello? Japanese is like one of the hardest language to study
Ah, another of my favorite subreddits.
Ah yes, teach fish man to a lifetime. Truly inspirational words.
I like smorking

I am laughing so hard; I’m having trouble breathing!
Fun fact, the show that appears in the background at 5:28 is called wakfu
Actually it's The Owl House, a shot of hexside in The Lying Witch and a Warden
The fact you can just hear undertale music at 0:48 is kinda funny lol

Edit: ty emkay
"I can't spell throat so I'll just put esophagus instead!" (I had to use spell check to spell esophagus!)
As someone who speaks a little bit of Japanese, I think I might be able to guess how it was translated as smork instead of smoke. Keep in mind, I'm not fluent by any means. Sometimes in katakana (used for foreign words), you use what my Japanese class calls stretchies (not what they're actually called but idk the actual name) to make the long oo sounds and sometimes they are used for r sounds as well. This is not for a certain but it's my guess as to how this happened. I could be wrong since I'm not a fluent speaker.
That’s how it would have happened, I think (not a native speaker, but have studied it for years).
English words get ‘Japanized’ with non-rhotic pronunciations, with few exceptions. So a syllable ending with an -o sound would get the same katakana as one ending in an -or sound.
Smoke and ‘smork’ would both be スモーク in katakana.
Ive spent all day sobbing over where i am in life but emkay managed to make me giggle with hanoi chicken fart.
Nah i quit Smorking a long time ago bad for your health ya know know I just smoke😮💨
"uterus fall down"
I hate to say it, but it is possible to have a prolapsed uterus.
I went to Japan a few years ago and found several hilarious translations, including Grilled Hormone and “there is bump”
The reverse is true, too. There are so many hilarious “”Japanese”” tattoos and mistranslations in the US. Including complete gibberish “”kana”” and “”kanji”” on album covers and t-shirts.
therapist: what is your problem
patient: I need to quit smorking addiction
This entire video just seemed to call out my horrible spelling, omg
I laughed the entire time tho XD
antire* its not a E its a A
"my internal reproductive organs have just fallen on the floor, that's weird" oh my sweet summer child it is so precious you think that's just a translation thing
can we not just appreciate that a plant wrote a sign without mocking it's small errors? It tried it's best.
6:14 My man Jack here has never heard of prolapse, where your organs fall down and eventually come out
4:44 thats no r/engrish thats deviant art
It sucks when you have to find a smorking zone to smork
I'm center that there's been some confusion when making these sentences
7:22 lmao the way he speaks is so… Foreigner trying indonesian language. Also it’s a saying that actually means “Shy to ask, lost in the road/way” meaning that it’s okay to ask if you don’t know something, or you might have difficulties going forward. Also thanks if you read this long comment lol
thing is we all laugh at the translation of instructions but we still understand no problem
5:04
Me when I’m trying to communicate after having peopled too much all day
Gonna tell my kids this is the Encyclopedia Brittanica
4:12 it's amazing how I perfectly understood everything they were trying to say.
also I have a translation of what I'm pretty sure it says in the replies.
Better translation:
1: If the fire alarm goes off, please do not panic. Use the stairs not the elevator.
2. If smoke is coming in from under your door place a wet towel under the door.
3. Leave the room immediately, but feel the door handle first, if it's warm find another exit. (A bit unsure on this one, but that's what I could gather)
4. This one I'm most unsure about but it could be get out as quickly as you can and go to a common area (like fire drills at school everyone goes to the parking lot or something)
Fried chikan? Yes, please rub some of that against me.
(And I am going to start calling them "corn freaks" from now on.)
2:25 that looks like it could be potentially intentional? Like that's their restaurant name
I feel like the Very Mom sheets need images of Doge.
The Nissan reflection of the person was kinda thicc 👹
6:14 if the pelvis is broken, the uterus can actually fall down
Very enjoyable.
I've seen the smorking sign almost daily at a Subway near the train station

First, the Smork Alam, now the Smorking Room!
A womans uterus can actually fall down. And that is not the only thing that can fall out down there. Both men and women can have problems in the rear end also. Muscles are holding the insides in place. Weak muscles = Timbeerrrrr ... I learned this the hard way. 🥺

Pelle Husman is a restaurant, and "here eat is" is a pun, but thank you for trying, Jack...
0:43 I was camping while watching this
I love watch your videos thank you for internetment
I love how the meme in the thumbnail is in the beginning of the video
Uterine prolapse is a thing that can happen to women of certain age (usually after menopause) when your pelvic muscles are not as tonned as they're use to be (my mom had that happened to her, so she got a hysterectomy), so uterus falls down is not wrong on that list.
0:00 my uncle used to smork
he's dead now and it wasn't the smorking

I’ve only been studying Bahasa Indonesia for around 4 months but wow that pronunciation was…. Something

“That says the bibble”
“ *YOU DARE QUESTION THE WORD PF THE MIGHTY JIMMY?!* “
"Sonny boy, go grab me a pack of smorks from the gas startion."
The way jack read "malu bertanya sesat dijalan" lmaooo its a common wise word thing (definitely have seen it in school hallways) that basically says to never be embarrassed of asking the questions you need answers to
Once I was writing a big long comment on reddit. And as a non native english speaker I accidently wrote "when you meat them" instead of "when you meet them"
Was very funny after someone pointed out my mistake.

Also, 5:41 "poop feeling" is actually a way to describe how soft a shoe's bottom is in Chinese... no idea which Jinius came up with it but...
