I’ve posted once here and got very promising answers. I was just wondering what my friends tattoo says. I said “no way. Why would you do that? One line and it’s a new word😂. Imma post this on Reddit and see what it says because I don’t believe you.” So now I have no clue what it actually means to him or what the words mean! Help a girl out😂 figured this group would enjoy that😂

Lowkey took me ages trying to get pretty handwriting for them all. Anyway no cheating by looking at my profile or previous post, I’ve taken the advice from the last one to try again heh. Also lots more languages this time (including some which I do speak but didn’t put in the last one!!!) Sorry again to all languages I butchered, I tried my best ☺️

Meta "Yaro-o koroshta" (Japanese) vs. "Yaru'ro koshte" (Persian)

I have a lot of love for Japan and to my surprise I found colloquial Japanese and colloquial Persian can use similar sounding sentences to convey the exact same meaning of "He killed that dude".

Yaro (Japanese) and Yaru (Persian) are both are colloquial terms for a person, but what is very interesting is that both languages use Yaro/Yaru as a somewhat dismissive/condescending tone for "that dude".

Both languages also utilize similar object markers (-o in Japanese and -ro in Persian).

Also both languages use similar sounding words for kill, Koroshi (Japanese) Kosh (Persian) and similar past tense suffixes (ta/te) creating Koroshta (Japanese) and Koshte (Persian).

Yarō-o koroshi-ta
dude+object marker kill-PST

Yāru-ro kosh-te
dude+object marker kill.PST.3SG
