RIP English

I am not discussing much here: single status posted some time back in Facebook. That’s it. We are just trying to dissociate the sentences written here to figure out the meaning it carries. It does not take much time for us to surmise that the post was created quite meticulously only that the creator lacked a sense of putting the words in correct order to give a coherent meaning.

So, let’s scrutinize the picture first:

Background

As is seen, this picture was posted ‘yesterday at 10:45 pm,’—god knows the yesterday of which exact date. This link of Nepallive.com was shared by Ramesh Khadka in the group ‘Security personnel’s group of Nepal.’ The caption, however, might have been written by Dhiraj Singh as suggested by the tag at the last. This person, whoever has created this, is surely fond of using present participle tense in all his sentences. Somebody please tell him, other tense form is also available. 

Dissection

First Sentence: Police has been arrested for 5 million rupees in the accusation of hundy transactions. Holy cow! What the heck is he trying to imply? Someone arrested the police and who might that be? I know none that can arrest police except police. To be continued, they were arrested for 5 million rupees. Ah! Then comes the hundy. Does this word even exist? Anyway, every Nepali national can understand what this sentence is trying to say, but sure a foreigner would roll on floor laughing. The anticipated meaning might be 'police arrested someone for illegal money transactions worth 5 millions.'   

Second Sentence: 53 lakhs of rupees and checkbox have been recovered. There might be some errors but meaning wise, I don’t have to say anything. Hats off!

Third Sentence: metropolitan crime mahabranch has been arrested on Monday’s new road and kulesor area. Rest in peace English: Mahanagar Aparadh Mahasakha is directly transcribed to Metropolitan Crime Mahabranch. Quite obviously, if sakha is to branch then mahasakha is to mahabranch. That’s simple analogy he has used here. And in turn, the mahabranch is also arrested. But who arrested it? Who who. When and where? Monday’s new road. The road that is new on Monday. So, it does not care about when. Just Monday’s new road and that’s the answer for where.

Fourth Sentence: Police has been born through fruit shops and co-workers. Syntactically it is correct but No one can find what this sentence is trying to convey.  When we directly paraphrase it, we have: Fruit shops and co-workers gave birth to the police. Imagine yourself, who might be the male and who is female – fruit shops or co-workers. Don’t laugh. I can’t find any other connotation. Guess yourself the meaning.

While I am not the master of English, I just tried to make a fun out of a post. The sole purpose of all this is entertainment. Plus, on only rare occasions people do have opportunity to see these types of English that take you to nowhere.
