Engrish

"Engrish" refers to humorous or mistaken English language usage, often seen in signs, products, or advertisements originating from East Asian countries, especially Japan and China. It typically results from literal translations, grammatical errors, or cultural differences in understanding context. The term is informal and can highlight language barriers rather than intentional humor. While it can be amusing, it's important to recognize it as part of the complex process of language learning and translation, rather than mockery of non-native speakers.
