Language Struggles

One of my friends struggles to learn Hindi. Even though my room mate tries to be very (very very) patient with him when he comes up with broken incomprehensive sentences (can hardly call them sentences)...both of us eventually burst out laughing.

"Tum kahan maine gaadi kab laa rahe ho" (you say mine vehicle when getting) - This is what he came up with after a full 5 minutes of thinking!

It was absolutely impossible to find out what he was trying to say. Now, after he told us what it was...which was "usne kahan ki uski gaadi kab aayegi" (she asked when she is going to get her vehicle/car), how could anyone stop oneself from laughing!!!

Makes up for a boring Friday afternoon.
