3. “Salud” means “bless you”in spanish but as years go by, it’ll be warped into salad. So instead of saying bless you, you’ll tell the person to eat a salad to help with their sneezing #hwa4 #lostandremade

In my world, everyone speaks a warped English where "excuse me" was mistranslted centures ago as "accuse me". Bumping into someone means you must announce your guilt. "Accuse me!" #hwa4 #lostandremade

In our world, not staying silent after a mistake would not happen. It’s a rule and ritual that wouldn’t exist in real world. #hwa4 #lostandremade

Imagine everyone speaks Chinese, but “sorry” was mistranslated to “I hate you.” Every time someone apologizes, they start a fight. As time goes by, people would stop saying sorry, and staying silent would become a rule to show respect. #hwa4 #lostandremade

The Japanese word "amae" means to depend on someone's affection, as a sign of deep trust or intimacy.

But over centuries of mistranslation, it meant weakness and incapability.

Asking for emotional support became shameful, and people were expected to handle everything alone.

hahah in my polish/ English world a common phrase “dziękuję z gory“ (thank you in advance Would be translated as “thank you from the mountain“ so I guess people would have to climb on something when asking for advice lol #hwa4 #lostandremade

In a world full of English speakers, I imagine "I love you" meaning "I hate you," then vice versa. This can show how a singular translation choice can misconstrue the original meaning of the phrase, highlighting how the past can get lost in the new, shaped version. #hwa4 #lostandremade

I would probably use Spanish as my favorite language, but if Spanish was the only language we were able to use. I feel like it would take away from peoples identities, and who they truly are and not able to express himself individually. #hwa4 #lostandremade

My favorite language is Urdu. In my imaginary world where Urdu is mistranslated, it would lose its sarcastic base and the wonderful humor around it. It would change from a language of idioms and poems to a bland and straightforward language. Losing its versatile grammar usage. #hwa4 #lostandremade

In a world full of English speakers, I imagine a time when "Goodbye" means "hello" and "Hello" means "goodbye". There wouldn't really be anything different except for the tone of voice. The words would be the same, but in some way, they would sound different. #hwa4 #lostandremade

In my imaginary world I would have a huge garden with people who speak a version of Italian. Ciao would mean "never return" the rule would be if someone were to say ciao, you would never be allowed to ever step foot in my world again🤗 #hwa4 #lostandremade

in my mistranslated reality it seems bagels are worshiped as a holy food and it is now a daily ritual to take a midday nap... also the work week has been shortened quite dramatically #hwa4 #lostandremade

In a world full of Cantonese speakers masked in centuries of mistranslation, the world treats greetings like rituals. The simple term "sik fan" means eat rice, but is translated into rituals of fake eating bowls to survive a life-or-death scenario. Skipping meals = sacred.

#hwa4 #lostandremade The rules are simple, everyword at this point in time has been morphed into tiktok brainrot slang. Nothing means anything anymore unless you are up to date with the most recent trend. People speak short sentences that words no longer have meaning but have symbols.

In my imaginary world, everyone would speak Hindi but it would be heavily misinterpreted throughout history. The hindi word "madad," meaning help, would be misinterpreted to mean mad, causing people who get asked for help to get called angry. #hwa4 #lostandremade

In a world shaped by centuries of mistranslating Arabic, the phrase "my light" became literal illumination, legally requiring every traveler to carry burning lanterns inside houses to avoid remaining invisible. #hwa4 #lostandremade

#hwa4 #lostandremade In my world, everyone only speaks in song lyrics, but through the years some of those embedded lyrics have been changed a little or even used in the wrong way. Rules that exist in my world is that what is said needs to be sung, but it doesn't need to be perfect

@gracetawfik.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 7:17 PM

In my world, Arabic got so wharped and misused that "habibi" meaning my love got translated to "hate" instead. #hwa4 #lostandremade

@stevenp35.bsky.socialOct 3, 2026, 7:56 PM

In my world, Spanish got so mistranslated that "buenos días" became a ritual where you have to greet every person in the room, or your day is cursed. And "mañana" turned into a sacred promise you can never break. #hwa4 #lostandremade
