Made this earlier
The bottom part is supposed to say “both do.” I used google translate so it may not be accurate.

Cool meme. The Arabic is wrong though. Arabic doesn't use "do" in this sense. So the sentence has the meaning of doing as if "doing something". Come to think of it, English is the only langauge I know that uses " they do" in this sense. Even French would use "Etre" which is "to be" when speaking about something like that, because it's not technically something they are doing but something they are.
Thanks, I didn’t expect my translations to be perfect.
Yeah, Spanish doesn't either.
I think your translations would have been better if you had translated "They're both bad" into all the languages.
True, I wrote something that only makes sense in English all but in English.
That reminds me of that meme, something like
american academia: this article is not in english i cant read it.
latam academia: spanish and portuguese, no problem, english? we are talking right now. german? gime me one month
Did you mean to write "i can't read it" for American academia?
fixed 😀
There is only one article in English: The
and the words doesn't have genders
"Ambos los hacen" means "both do it". Do what? idk
Judging by the comments here it seems like everything in that bottom part is wrong hahaha. A better translation would be "Ambos son"
I love how the entire comment section is talking about it's miss spelled in every language
Honestly English is a solid language: no conjugations, no gendered nouns, minimal articles -- the only problem I (and most other people) have with it is that words are not written phonetically.
Yeah, if English was spelled better it would be a superior language.
funny enough it's mainly the French influence that did this to English, it was pronounced a lot more like the way its spelled before that.
No conjugations? Do you mean declensions?
No, I meant conjugations but you can add declensions to the list too.
Now you'll say that English has a conjugation for the 3rd singular person but it's trivial, so it doesn't really count
Russian translation might be wrong, going off of me being Polish.
Dzielać is a historical word here but it means working or doing. I've seen a comment saying how the Arabic translation is wrong and something similar happened here.
The correct translation would say that "both are".
In Polish it would be "oba są", on Russian I don't know but I guess something along this lined seeing how similar the languages can be.
Also "oba są" lacks context, like ok they are, but what?
A better thing to write would be "oba ssą". Yes that is just one more S, but it's a declination of the word "ssać", meaning "to suck".
That Soviet flag tho
*RSFR
*RSFSR
Also, the S you remembered stands for “Soviet” so they’re technically not wrong
