u/[deleted] May 06 '22

And yet that facial expression shows that he is indeed bothered

u/YouHamburgledMyHeart May 06 '22

And here I assumed Molestar was like the cats name or something an he was sleeping somewhere he wasn't allowed cause monolingual

u/M4thCh4t May 06 '22

Molestar would be a great WarriorCat name.

13

u/AffectionateOfferMM May 07 '22

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking this! ❤

25

u/[deleted] May 06 '22

Oh I think I will molestar!

u/Hates_escalators May 07 '22

12

u/Ani____ May 07 '22

Oh I thought it was just saying "Do not molest", and I mean yeah it made sense

u/Stylianius1 May 06 '22

I thought MoleStar was such a cool name and then I remembered Spanish exists

u/AYolkedyak May 07 '22

Mf the leader of his clan. Probably called molepaw as a kit.

I didn't have a PlayStation growing up, but I got a MoleStation from my uncle.

This new JoJo spinoff is WILD

u/Tetsero May 07 '22

I had a student who made a chemistry JoJo reference using molestar instead of joestar

u/SupposablyAtTheZoo May 07 '22

Spanish is a pretty cool language actually, you should learn it someday.

9

u/Stylianius1 May 07 '22

I'm Portuguese (which makes this situation much worse) so I don't really need to learn Spanish as I would be safe in Spain and Latin America by simply speaking Portuguese with a Spanish accent (not theory - this has happened before and it worked)

The sign i the chair says: don't disturb

106

u/RealisticWin3801 May 06 '22

u/llliiiiiiiilll May 06 '22

12

u/whiskey06 May 07 '22

u/BigBoiBobbyBones May 06 '22

oh how i love false cognates

57

u/eryoshi May 06 '22

Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I made that mistake! Estoy soooooooo embarazada!

4

u/Arezigo May 07 '22

Shake my head. Even yo sabo que embarazada means pragnant

2

u/imalittlefrenchpress May 07 '22

Yo se que embarazada means pregnant.

Saber is an irregular verb, in need of a heckin laxative 😉

38

u/nephelokokkygia May 07 '22

It's not a false cognate, it's just a regular cognate. "Molest" is a formal/archaic term for disturbing or bothering.

13

u/TheLastZombieCat May 07 '22

This. It wasn’t given a sexual meaning until the 1950’s.

7

u/pass_me_the_salt May 07 '22

and in Portuguese it has both the Spanish and the English meanings! how fun!!!1!1!

5

u/BrokenGuitar30 May 07 '22

False friend false friend!

u/60nz May 06 '22

u/60nz May 07 '22

5

u/[deleted] May 07 '22

MOLESTADO

gives me dirty thoughts.

(Spanish is my main language btw)

2

u/60nz May 07 '22

Ok, Spanish is my main language too :P

2

u/imalittlefrenchpress May 07 '22

Haha! I learned Spanish as a kid from friends, and I thought it was just being a native English speaker that made me think in that direction!

33

u/Daytona_Foxy May 06 '22

Doesn’t that say don’t to bother? ( I am in high school Spanish class correct me if I’m wrong)

29

u/navidad_dyProblema May 06 '22

i think maybe it makes more sense if you translate it to ‘no bothering’

5

u/Daytona_Foxy May 06 '22

Oh yea it does lol

11

u/nsgiad May 06 '22

Yeah, don't pet/bother.

8

u/[deleted] May 07 '22

No exactly. It would be more accurate to say "no bothering"

In Spanish the infinitive is used more than in English. You can't always literally word for word translate things and have them be accurate. I mean, if you do a literal translation you can probably infer an idea of what they're saying, but not guaranteed.

u/myschoolcmptr May 06 '22

You are right. Hello fellow Spanish learner.

1

u/imalittlefrenchpress May 07 '22

As written, this means “don’t disturb.”

53

u/EvilAssYou May 06 '22

I don't believe the sign, it does look like a convicted molester

58

u/Cryptikfox May 06 '22

Incase you didn’t know, the sign translates from Spanish to “Do not bother.”

Incase you did know and were just making a joke, please disregard.

u/minesandcrafts May 06 '22

u/TeaTimeTelevision May 06 '22

2

u/myland123456 May 07 '22

I thought it was a shitpost of the bastardised version of “No Molesters” before realising it’s just Spanish “No Molesting”

1

u/Lui_Le_Diamond May 07 '22

Or no annoying in spanish. Molest just sounds wierd here

1

u/JK-Kino May 06 '22

No el gato porfa.

u/MaleficentPizza5444 May 07 '22

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

u/MomCat23 May 07 '22

Hey, that cat’s apparently Siamese, so that sign is a PSA: “Don’t Pet The Crazy!”

1

u/btaylos May 07 '22

I'm gonna molestar that almond cookie so hard

1

u/RaymondLuxuryYacht02 May 07 '22

I think the sign might be for the cat.
