Today's Language whirlpool is about confusion and being stupid.
Sometimes we get confident that yes we understand. But what we understood is really that or is just our assumption.
So while I was watching National Geographic, I saw a traveller making a documentary for a travel show. So the host who seems like an American from his accent walks around the crawford market in Mumbai to taste the real India. On his way he stops by a spice store.
Host: Hello! Kaise ho Aap
Shopkeeper : Hello sir, hum ache hai aur aap?
Host : thik hai.
What is this?
Shopkeeper : this is the spice for curry. Ye bahut tikha hai
Host : tikka...!!
Shopkeeper : haan chicken mein tikha ke liye.
Host : wow its Chicken Tikka.
Can I try some?
Then he starts speaking to the audience. This is incredible, we have a powder form of Chicken Tikka and starts to put a little in his mouth.
After that he cry for water, water please... HAhhh hahhh.
He thought he knows and misunderstood teekha(spicy) as chicken tikka (a north Indian dish). A famous dish served all around the world in the North Indian dishes.
Language is not as easy as it seems to be. Often leads to confusion and fun.
