Milad Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I am so confused! Or is the aim to have sayings that make no sense with translations from real proverbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftpunk Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I am so confused! Or is the aim to have sayings that make no sense with translations from real proverbs Lol the sayings do make sense,albeit in context. Those meanings are derived from those sayings. Problem is if you do not understand the context of the proverbs/sayings then they'll never make meaning to you. For example you have to completely understand pidgin English to even get the gist of the sayings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
