Prince Charles speaks pidgin in Papua New Guinea: ‘Mi na misis bilong’
PRINCE Charles is in Papua New Guineas. He’s been speaking to the locals in a sport stadium.
He says:
“Mi nambawan pikinini bilong misis kwin…Mi na misis bilong mi mipela lik tok tenkyu tru lon yupela olgeta lon gutpela pasin bilong hamamas yupela mekim lon mipela lon kam lon Papua Niugini.”
Fancy taking a stab at what the pidgin translates to in modern English?
Answer: “I am the first-born child of Her Majesty the Queen….My wife and I would like to thank you very much for your generosity and happiness in the way you have received us.”
