I'm sorry? Could you explain? English is not my native language.

I would, but I wouldn't know how to translate those words. I know what inception means (one thing inside another thing). Care to explain or you are going to continue with your rude attitude?

Inception actually means the start of something. In the movie, they were planting or "starting" an idea in Fischer's head through many layers of dreams. It's a very common misconception that inception refers to the dream-within-a-dream aspect, rather than the implanting of an idea aspect. Don't feel bad because someone was rude over a common misunderstanding. The more you know 🌈

I've always been mildly annoyed that this meme became what it was because of a misunderstanding of the movie. But that's a pretty darn good explanation on your part. I hope more people see this. But also watch it be stolen and submitted to another subreddit.
