This sign was spotted at the Damascus airport. I personally thought it was hilarious (Thanks Dima). For non-Arabic speakers, here is some explanation: Since the letter "P" doesn’t exist in the Arabic language, many Arabs find it difficult to pronounce, so they replace it with the letter "B". For the people in charge of "Brestige", it seems they are not only unable to say the letter "P" but they are also unable to write it. |
Well, “Brsteeg”,”Bartys”,”Wedeings”, they seem to have a Pig Broplem 🙂
I think the most difficult letter for Arabs to say , is the “R”. No matter how you say it, its always wrong.
This is what I call Syrian self sufficiency 🙂 Why should we, Arabs, abide by the Western-Centric way of writing things. We’ll just take English words, mispronounce it in Arabic, thus making them our own (that’s called ‘arabization’) and then.. We’ll write them in English, but in OUR OWN UNIQUE WAY :).
This is called “fighting the enemy with his own weapons”. It also shows our ‘cultural uniqueness’, and that we have not been swallowed by Capitalist Globalizations.
Wallhi shee BrsteeG
Blease, Natasha, why are you bashing my brothers??LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL….I have to email this around!!
Haha, great. There are a few really funny one’s like that here in Bahrain also. One of the signs that you see often is “No Barking”. I’ll have to take a photo before they get replaced.
sooooooo funny hehehe! 🙂 akh min syria!
That reminded me of the English teacher who spent a long time teaching his students that it is “Perhaps.. not Berhabs “. When he succeeded, he asked one student about its meaning. The student answered ” Roppama” ya ostaaz.
Hehe, LOL!
That’s wayyyyyyy too funny 🙂
God… renews my inner confusion when it comes to Syria.
HAHAHA thanks! it made me so haBBy
Ah! So “Brsteeg” = “Prestige”. I see. They also seem to be having some trouble with “Bartys” and “Wedeings” as well 🙂 🙂
