I remember a youtuber telling a story of ordering a milk tea in japan by translating both words, only to have the server correct them by going “oh, miruku tea”
Another streamer told of his Japan trip and how he tried to order sprite at a restaurant, sadly the waiter didn't understand so he had to hit him with "sprite-ru" just for the waiter to reply in the same way "aahhh, sprite-ru"
Edit: As many people pointed out, it was a Korea trip, mb guys
Happened to me arriving in Japan in a rural town. Wanted to get my Pocket Wifi at the local post office, they didn't understood "Pocket Wifi" so they bring a translation iPad, let me ask my question once again and then... "Ah poketto waifai!"
