English has "it's greek to me" which is basically the same thing, if I'm understanding.There's an OLD joke in Portuguese (no clue if it exists anywhere else) that says: "I speak all the languages in the world, except Chinese.", so, when I encounter a language that I can't understand, that's obviously Chinese.
"Isso para mim é Chinês!" (For me that's Chinese) and all is solved.
Peace![]()
Happens with my German too, only when I call my Mother I have oportunity to speak it.Maybe, I am definitely rusty,
Knowing the history of my country and the language I speak... it's probably rooted in something HORRIFICALLY racist. That's been the case with a lot of colloquialisms when I dug into the etymology of them.View attachment 4113422
It's "interesting", for lack of better word, at least to hear that as a Greek...
There's a similar one in English. It changes Chinese to Greek, with the claim that "I can speak any language but Greek", then when asked about any other language, the punchline is "It's all Greek to me".There's an OLD joke in Portuguese (no clue if it exists anywhere else) that says: "I speak all the languages in the world, except Chinese.", so, when I encounter a language that I can't understand, that's obviously Chinese.

My wife is the only one I know who speaks Arabic, because she learned it at the same time/place as me... so it's kinda the blind leading the blind as far as maintaining fluency.Happens with my German too, only when I call my Mother I have oportunity to speak it.
