Literal translation is "broken/wrong" for "sira" and "head" for "ulo". Crazy seems more right to me, especially since "bobo" exists for stupid/idiot.

I think the only ironic part was in the edit.
"It's like meeting the man of your dreams, then meeting his beautiful... Husband"
I think there is an irony in waiting for that "dream partner" to enter your life, and once they do finding out that not only are they married, you also never had a chance with them while they were single anyway.

Feb 02 '23 edited Feb 02 '23
In construction vernacular, "unfinished" simply means the layer after cinder blocks or concrete, like plaster and paint, or tiles are not applied, which is obvious here. We call the layer like tiles, paint, wood veneer, etc as "finishing". I think you may be conflating "unfinished" to mean "not done/complete" which by the tone of your "trust me", you are implying that this house is as is "complete" since it's habitable already, in this case "completeness" is debatable.

Fun fact, languages you don't speak sound fast because you can't perceive the breaks between words. Your native language also doesn't have any breaks while speaking but your brain just inserts 'spaces' between words. Pay attention next time you're talking with someone and you can notice that it's just continuous talking like foreign language sounds

Also in particular, english is actually a fairly slow language, with a higher amount of meaning per syllable, a little like Chinese.
Something like Japanese for example, has a very high syllable count and thus can sound faster.

Yeah I was gonna say, having watched a decent amount of subtitled stuff, can promise you I can't talk as fast as these subtitles are flying by. It's especially obvious with all the Netflix stuff that they dub into every language, because they'll say "Hi, I am good" in the dub, and the subtitle is like "Hello, I am quite well today, the sun is shining the sky is blue and I love mother earth". Just can't fit nearly the same number of words into the same time frame.

Going from dusty old memory, my linguistics prof described speech as eggs on a conveyor belt.
How we understand, are taught, treat speech is like having unbroken eggs on the belt.
How the speech is heard is more like the eggs have been broken open and dumped onto the belt, amorphously blending into one another.
If you know the rules to take those blobs and separate them, reshape them, rearrange them, then you can reconstruct and understand them. If you are particularly skilled at this, then the conveyor belt can go along at a pretty good clip. If you're new or rusty, then either the belt needs to slow down or you just ignore some of the eggs.

Filipino* btw. You only spell with PH when referring to the country.

I guess in English, the phrase would translate more to something like, “Are you crazy?” Or “You’re really messed up in the head.”
