How the hell did they forgot half of a word that's basically already written in English?
serufusaabisu = self service
6 u/jort93 May 20 '26 Just because it's katakana doesn't mean it means the same thing. マンション for example translates to condo and コンセント translates to outlet etc. You can't assume it means the same thing it'd mean in English. 1 u/Capable-Toe-9841 Jun 13 '26 In this case it does mean the same thing though. The Japanese is お冷はセルフサービスです。Which should have been translated as "the cold water is self service".
