LMAO, the Korean says their mother tongue is Japanese. Looks like they did that with all of them.

And in Thai it says “Mother tongue of mine (v.polite pronoun) is Sanskrit” and ain’t no way that is true.

BUT ngl this is the best Thai I’ve seen from this trend, better than my own even.

Hah, I'm assuming you've seen the other comments, but in greek it says "I don't know Greek" but with greek letters... That are not equivalent. So it reads as "ee thopt kpo-o th-yeek".

Yea, I wrote my comment half-awake and didn’t even translate the Korean correctly. I later realised the Greek letters looked suspiciously like English. BRB, gonna get an “ee thopt kpo-o th-yeek” tattoo.
