Early this morning while sharing breakfast of tuna sandwiches, we started wondering what the word "clue" is in Filipino. Many have wondered, many have tried to translate... ano nga ba ang Tagalog sa "clue"?Check out Google translate. The site now has Filipino included in the list of languages available. Here's the translation of the word "clue" - "Bakas". Oo "bakas", hindi ka namalikmata. "Bakas" talaga 'yung translation na binibigay nya.
Eto pa: "Give me a clue.", sabi ng Google, "Bigyan mo ako ng isang tanda. " Ano daw? Ang weird pa, if you try to translate the said sentence back to English, it will be "Give me a note.". 'di ba dapat, "Give me a sign."? Tapos, pag isinalin mo uli sa Filipino ang "Give me a note", ang translation ay " Bigyan mo ako ng isang nota".
Here's a funny one - Filipino translation of "without a clue" is "walang bakas"! Huh?
What do you know? Things really get lost in translation!
