Maybe We Got Lost in Translation: Online Dating Experience on Bumble Shared by Netizens

-

Bumble is one of the rising applications initially used for dating. But these days Bumble has become to be more casual due to a lot of people being there just for something casual, looking someone to talk to because they haven’t moved on from their previous lover, scamming, or just trolling. Being on a dating site is not something to be ashamed of these days. Your friends are there. Your next-door neighbor is there. The guy you met at canteen is there. Everyone is there, who knows their reason.

 

Twitter account namely @bumblesupremacy posted several screenshots from Bumble users who funnily fails to engage a fun conversation with other people due to their pop culture knowledge that’s clashed with each other. Here I present to you some of it:

In here, the sender (the one who sent the screenshot to @bumblesupremacy) asked whether the person he/she were talking to like britpop a.k.a british pop, a genre of music which that other person react positively. He/she continues to ask him him about britpop band called ‘blur’ which coincidentally is also a term used usually in photography. Lost in translation I must say. 

Now this is why basic English is needed for social skills. This person mistook the phase “how’s life?” as “asal mana?”. Innocent mistranslation. I would have the same reaction with the sender.

It was all the sender’s fault for mistaking the person he/she was talking to. I mean the sender could have read clearly the name but how come he/she mistook it as ‘there’? people these days.

This one is the most common of ‘lost in translation’ moment of people not knowing the meaning of pick-up line and instead they mistook it as someone asking for their Line ID. Never fails to be hilarious.
