"Lost In Translation": Karnataka's Highway Warning Signboard Is Viral https://ift.tt/VdlZkwh An emergency signboard installed on a highway near Karnataka's Kodagu has caught the internet's attention due to its humorous mistranslation from Kannada to English. A user named 'Kodagu Connect' shared an image of the signboard on social media, which read, "Urgent make an accident." The signboard is a poor translation of the Kannada phrase "Avasarave Apaghatakke Karana," which actually means "Overspeeding is the reason for accidents." However, NDTV couldn't verify the authenticity of this viral image. See the viral picture here: Lost in translation. Location: Near Sampaje. Along Madikeri to Mangaluru National Highway 275. @NHAI_Official pic.twitter.com/i2k7NLQdaL — Kodagu Connect (@KodaguConnect) July 2, 2024 The mistranslation, "urgent makes an accident," left the internet divided. While some questioned the government's effort in translating signboards into English, others found the error amusing and took it in stride. A user wrote, "'Haste is the cause of the accident' the real translation," a user commented. "Bro used chatgpt even for this," another user joked. "Kannada matters not English," remarked the third user. "One comma after urgent and the meaning will completely change, " the fourth user wrote. The fifth user joked, "Better tag insurance agents. They will get it fixed fast." In March, locals in Karnataka's Kodagu district put up a makeshift signboard warning travellers of Google's navigation mistake. The hilarious signboard urges users to not follow Google's directions and take a different route to reach the Club Mahindra resort. A picture of the signboard was shared by the X handle of Kodagu Connect. ''Google is wrong. This road does not go to Club Mahindra,'' reads the sign. The signboard was put up by local villagers who got tired of lost travellers asking for directions after being misled by Google Maps. https://ift.tt/mHFOGcK July 03, 2024 at 10:31AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

Fourth Of July: All You Need To Know About America's Independence Day https://ift.tt/4gL3hnD This year, the Fourth of July will mark the 278th anniversary of the founding of the United States (US). Since the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, this day has been an important federal holiday in the US. In 1776, on this day, American colonies gained independence from British rule. Since then, every year, parades, fireworks, carnivals, fairs, political speeches and numerous ceremonies mark this day. Americans also wear red, white and blue gear. The Declaration states, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." History of the Fourth of July Though the American colonies gained independence on July 4, 1776, the process began two days ago, on July 2, 1776, when the Continental Congress voted to declare independence. On that day, 12 of the 13 American colonies officially decided to separate from British rule. Among those who pronounced the American colonies as free states included Thomas Jefferson, a renowned statesman and diplomat at that time, who later became the third President of America (1801-09), and Benjamin Franklin, a political philosopher. Significance of US Independence Day Fourth of July is a symbol of American freedom and patriotism. It celebrates the ideals of liberty, democracy and the pursuit of happiness that the nation was founded upon. Various festivities, including fireworks, parades, concerts and family gatherings mark the day. It is a time for Americans to reflect on their history and the sacrifices made by the founding fathers and those who fought for independence. The day also serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for equality and justice in the United States. Fourth of July celebrations In 1801, for the first time, the July 4 celebrations were held at the White House. Since then, it's become an annual feature. The tradition of fireworks started in Philadelphia city a year after the American colonies gained independence from British rule. To commemorate a year of independence, fireworks were set off on July 4, 1777, when a salute of 13 gunshots was conducted. Since then, staging grand fireworks has become a ritual of the July 4 celebrations. Also, on July 3, 1776, a day before the Declaration of Independence was signed, John Adams, one of the founding fathers, had written to his wife, Abigail Adams, that the day must be commemorated "with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more." https://ift.tt/NE3Gsva July 02, 2024 at 08:15AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com
