This must apply to the buffet.
Then I realised that the sign can mean, literally: Waiting will happen. Huh? :/
Of course – sometimes, sit happens.
Probably the guy who took the picture is in Guantanamo right now…
One of the words in chinese look like a couple of school children walking under an umbrella accompanied by a Rabbi.
Yes, I see it. The third one in the top row looks like a face…
That one means “to wait” or “etcetera” depending on the usage.
Then in the next picture one of the children leaps over a bar-stool, cheered on by the Rabbi.
Ah, the dangers of trying to read meanings into pictograms based on their appearance…
ACT NOW!
Suspect that this might be “no loitering”? Although the rabbinical (orthodox – I don’t know others who always wear the large hats) explanations/descriptions are very amusing.
Stopping your car here will be prosecuted.
The sign only shows up outside of shopping malls, subway stations etc in Hong Kong, where there are always drivers waiting to pick up passengers while blocking two lanes of the road.
this actually doesn’t look like Chinese. Japanese maybe
Asianese maybe?
The two languages share some lettering, but the fact that the background practically screams “Hong Kong” should tell you that it’s Cantonese (Chinese isn’t one language, it’s composed of multiple dialects, of which Cantonese and Mandarin are the best-known- Cantonese is… different from the Mandarin spoken on most of the mainland, and it shows here).
It is actually Chinese. Could be Mandarin or Cantonese…they use the same characters. The difference is in the pronounciation of those characters. (I’m a Chinese-Mandarin linguist)
Everyone hates waiting, including the government
No tip then.
well, its better than executed…
…..after which, waiting becomes permanent.
Waiting is innocent! Waiting has been arrested on false charges! Free Waiting! *waves placard from sandwich-making demonstration*
“What do we want?”
“Action!”
“When do we want it?”
“Now!”
“Let’s eat the sandwiches first!”
In Soviet Russia, waiting prosecutes YOU.
…and waiters will be imprisoned.
That might go part of the way to explaining why you have to demonstrate your own sandwich.
The waiting is the hard part…
Stop making Petty comments.
Not the sign you want to see at the DMV.
Excuse me. I have to go. Somewhere there is a crime happening.
Hong Kong traffic sign. Correct translation: “No stopping here. Violators will be prosecuted.”
It’s sad when you read enough of these and eventually begin to understand them… I’m not saying I understand them…
Now I am “I understand some of these”
This is actually not Engrish or funny either. It specifically refers to waiting in a car, and is used in Hong Kong when there is a double yellow line at the side of the lane.
I saw this in Signspotting 2!
This is just stupid… i live in Hong kong and these signs are everywhere but they actually make sense. The context is cars waiting the person just didnt take a picture of the street. fail.
