For example, in the United Arab Emirates you can easily go to jail, saying the street Stray Cat "Kis-Kis."In Arabic, the word refers to the female sexual organ.

Cambodia.Laos soup will be served instead of "Girls»

The biggest danger is in those countries where the locals are very bad, or do not speak in English.That accounts for the tourists, armed with a phrase book and the help of God, explained with the "natives" in their language.Especially dangerous in this regard, Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos, where more and more tourists are sent in pursuit of the exotic.For example, six Vietnamese tones.One and the same word spoken in a different tone, can mean very different things.Therefore, the local name should be pronounced quietly and monotonously.A Vietnamese already will understand what you mean.But if you do not, you may cause serious problems.

- quite an innocent question, if you believe the wrong recommendation of a mountain-guide-books, "How do I get in Holon?"

For this you can go to the emergency room.And there are lots of other examples.

errors arise with the name of Vietnamese rice.This dish is properly called co'm (com).However, our people often say something unintelligible, and in the end it turns out something like a «con».But in Vietnam it is, among other things, is also dismissive reference to the female sex.

can be trapped, and ordering the most famous Vietnamese soup pho '(FAA).Foreigners often say just "pho".

- In Hanoi dialect "pho" means representatives of the oldest profession, - says Vladimir batters.- Imagine the situation: Vietnamese is a ladle, and then drove a tourist and shouted: "Girls want!»

Vietnam sexy surname

Vietnam can be dangerous and some Russian words.For example, the colloquial "Che" there - not very nice "dog» (cho ').So to say this word in the crowd must be very careful not to offend anyone.No less dangerous word "think."In the Vietnamese language has a close-sounding word that denotes abusive synonymous with the phrase "making love."And in the cultural community, of course, better to do without "thoughts."

- In the mid-60s with our geologists in Vietnam there was a funny story - says Vladimir batters.- A lady from the expedition wanted to taste the steak.The Vietnamese are not found in the dictionary of the word.Then they used their old way of finding the values ​​of Russian words shared "steak" in two and began to look individually.And then he found in the dictionary the word "cat".The nearest village was caught and fried unfortunate animal.Lady tasted it with pleasure, and then for a long time thanking gallant.Only six months later, already in St. Petersburg, she learned what it fed ...

indecent sound in Vietnam and some Russian names.For example, it is necessary to be careful with the name of the Minister of Sports of Russia.Vietnamese in the word "Mutko" can hear a rough mat.

However, and Vietnamese names for the Russian ear may seem unacceptable.For example, in Vietnam, one of the fairly common names - known word of three letters.One such Vietnamese decided to move to St. Petersburg.There he married, had a daughter soon.But his wife categorically did not want her child's middle name was somehow connected with the name of her beloved husband.As a result, the girl decided not to spoil life and gave a completely different first name.

Indonesia obscene love

Problems Russians may arise in China or Indonesia.There is also the English language do not favor.For example, in Indonesia, it is better not to swear, as some of our local abusive words mistaken for a declaration of love.The words "... and" there means "to like, to love."The Case can occur in a restaurant.

- If you speak in Russian the word "sausage", then you bring a head of raw cabbage, - says the teacher of Indonesian language eastern St. Petersburg State University Svetlana Bans.- Because they hear the kol basah.This word just means "uncooked sprouts."Generally, Indonesians are very amused our Cyrillic.They think it spoiled the alphabet.

Italy penis instead of pasta

trouble waiting for the Russians, however, not only in exotic countries, but also in European countries.For example, Italy.There when ordering in a restaurant you have to be very attentive to the pronunciation.For example, in Italy there is a dish renne all'arrabiata (penne al arrabyata - type of pasta).It is important to say the word "penne" with a double "n".Otherwise it will "foam" and in Italian it means penis.You can imagine the surprise of the waiter, who do you ask such a "meal".It is necessary to learn the word sozze (Cozzi - mussels in their different forms, too, often served in restaurants).By mistake, it is very easy to say how sazzo (katstsa), and it will mean hell, but not one that is growing in the garden.If you happen to search the locker room (for example, on the beach), no harm will learn word spogliatoio (cpolyatoyo).But in any case it is not necessary to be confused with the consonant word spogliarello (cpolyarello), which means "the strip."

mishap can happen even in a jewelry store.If you want to buy a vending earrings, be careful with the word, which refers to them - orecchini (orekkini).But do not try to say orecchione (orekёne), which means "fagot."The seller may be offended to death or, worse, to call the police.

Precautions should be pronounced in Italy and Russian words.For example, the phrase "the fig" or "a fig.""The Fig" in Italian means obscene symbol of the female sex organ.Well, the most cruel insult to Italians can be applied, talking to them about football, in which many of them are crazy.The main thing - do not make a mistake in the name of a key player in their team Andrea Pirlo.Try to clearly pronounce the last letter "o" in his name, because the word "Pearl" in Italian - "asshole."Such an error in Italy you would not forgive.

France: the pool is better not to go

At risk another European country - France.There's problems can start during dinner at the restaurant.It is not necessary to ask loudly through in Russian in the hope that you and so will understand.Nothing like this.The word "by" is very in tune with the French chiotte, meaning "toilet".So rather than pay the dinner, you will be taken to the toilet.Behind surprised your bad manners.After yelling at the entire restaurant "outhouse!" Is not accepted in any other country of the world.If after dinner you decide to walk to the pool, it is best not to ask for directions in Russian.In French, the word "pool" becomes a phrase bas sein, which translates as "female breast sagging."For such a word can be obtained in both the eyes of the ladies, and on its satellite.And finally, do not pronounce in Russian the word "envelope."It is very in tune with the obscene phrase con vert («green Snatch").It is terrible to imagine what can be answered Russian tourists who dare to ask the hotel envelope.
