Lost in translation

I’ve been thinking about the fact that some words have a deeper meaning than what we’re taught – this happens a lot when you start learning a foreign language.

For example – Aloha, in Hawaiian is Hello and good-bye. It also means love. MarHaba in Arabic means welcome – but it also means ‘you are family’

There are also regional phrases that can mean different things such as the Southern – “Bless your heart”
