Translation Gone Wrong

I'm sure everyone has experienced an error in language translation. The best example is the glorious language of Singlish.

Phrases such as:

Today morning and today night - direct translation from mandarin

See no up me - direct translation from mandarin

Can you take the cup give me? - direct translation from mandarin

But I guess it's still acceptable, afterall, Singlish is a language, if you choose to believe so.

This video however, takes the cake. Its not a mandarin to english translation, it is a hindi to english one. Enjoy.
