Funniest/most bizarre iKnow sentence - Nuriko - 2009-02-27
Looking through the sentences on iKnow, you don't find too many extremely interesting ones at first glance. It's mostly just essential things you need, right?
But every once in awhile there's something that just throws you off like this:
”彼女の眉毛は太いな！”
...what? Her eyebrows are fat? (more specifically "thick") I couldn't pass up this randomly bizarre sentence. AND that randomly bizarre sentence comes with audio! (...that's probably what makes it the most interesting by the way. The speaker sounds like he's admiring the girl's thick eyebrows or something).
Care to point us in the direction of the most entertaining iKnow sentences you've come across?

Thats priceless, you're right about it sounding like the guys admiring her masculine thick eyebrows... what a creepy guy

Actually, in some cultures, thick eyebrows are considered sexy.

I've been known to appreciate a good thick eyebrow or two.

犯人は警察に捕まる前に自殺しました。
Not so bizarre, but "very Japanese" - the criminal committed suicide before he was caught by the police - more Japanese in more ways than one...
Here's another:
自国の文化を大切にしましょう。
Hehehe - very traditional/conservative...

My favorite would have to be 彼女は足が太い。
She has fat legs.
Especially with the picture... it just seems so wrong :p

It is not funny or bizarre, but I can never read this out loud correctly the first time:
これはかなり金がかかった

kfmfe04 mentioned it first, but they say 大根足 in Japanese. Good word to learn.

Of course, all the normal "body parts" were on the list, but by far, #1 on the list was "legs".
