- kn0where 4y agoI think the English equivalent is "playing both sides of the fence." Double game makes intuitive sense too though.
- shreyshnaccount 4y agoAnd one of the Hindi phrases my mom uses "thali ka baingan" literally translates to "eggplant of the plate" doesn't make any sense in English but I love it xD. Hindi is a pretty beautiful language and people use so many colourful metaphors it's incredible!
- piva00 4y agoSame for me as a Brazilian, jogo duplo means literally double-game and it's a pretty popular expression. Probably in Portugal and other Portuguese-speaking countries as well.
- oblivion 4y agoSame in Romanian, "joc dublu". I suspect it's common in latin based languages or maybe all indoeuropean languages, seeing how it's the same in Hindi.
