  1. Another funny words that means differently in another #language.

    The #Hangugeo (#Korean) word "namu" means "tree" or "wood".

    In #Filipino, it is the short form of the curse word "p**ang ina mo" or "p**a ang ina mo" (which in English translates to "your mom is a c**t").

    Of course, in Korean, you don't normally use words by itself. So there shouldn't be cases wherein there might be confusion. But if you got into a certain situation this happened, just explain what you meant. 😅 Otherwise, you'll hear a reply like, "namu rin" (something like, "your mom is a c**t too"). 😅😅
