Funny Examples of Indian English Sign

'Entry From Backside Only', is a funny Ingrish sign that refers to a phrase commonly used on signposts
in India to indicate the rear entrance of a building.

Ingrish Heard After an
English Exam

Devyani; Hey, I wanted to confirm one of my answers. Can you help

Anil: Sure, which one was it?

Devyani: Well, we were supposed to add a suitable preposition in the
blank. The question was, 'Bear ____ me for a while.'

Naturally, the answer was "Bear with me for a while." This means that the
speaker requests the person to be patient for a while.

Devyani, however, changed the meaning completely with her answer by
writing: "Bear chased me for a while."

The Origin of Inglish Signs

English has been with India since the early 1600's, when the East India
Company started trading and English missionaries first began their efforts.

The English which is spoken in India is different from that spoken in
other regions of the world, and it is regarded as the unique variety which
is called Indian English or Inglish.

Indians also shorten many words to create commonly used terms.

Enthusiasm is called enthu; as such, it can be used in new ways. One can
say, 'That guy has a lot of enthu.' While this is simply an abbreviation,
enthu can also be used as an adjective where enthusiasm cannot, as in 'He's
a real enthu guy.'

The same applies for fundamentals, which is shortened as fundas. 'She
knows her fundas.' What is interesting about fundas is that when the -as
ending is dropped and -u is added, it takes on a new meaning and can be used
in a new way. Fundu basically means wonderful or brilliant. One can say 'He
is a fundu person' or even 'He is fundu.'
