Okrahomer Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) http://www.mormondia...entry1209240837MormonMason offered an interesting example of the potential humorous consequences of "green" LDS missionaries attempting to express themselves in a language they have not yet mastered. Any other examples?(It just occurred to me that there is a high probability this topic may have already been covered here. If it has, my apologies.) Edited March 27, 2013 by Okrahomer Link to comment
Okrahomer Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'll offer one of my own:In German (Germany Hamburg Mission here), the word for "doubt" it Zweifel--the word for "onion" is Zwiebel. I heard--with my own two ears--a companion bear testimony that he knew "without an Onion, that the BoM is true." Link to comment
Buzzard Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Well, I once told a French elders quorum that it was required that the records of the Lord should be put in "ordure" (the garbage), the correct word was "ordre" (order). 1 Link to comment
