Sure! Here are some common ways Google Translate can screw up and potentially embarrass you in Japanese: 1. Using overly formal or old-fashioned language that makes you sound like a historical drama character. 2. Incorrectly translating slang or colloquial phrases, which can lead to confusion or miscommunication. 3. Literal translations that don't capture the nuance or appropriate tone of the original phrase. 4. Incorrectly translating gendered language or honorifics, which can be offensive or inappropriate. 5. Mixing up homophones or similar sounding words, leading to nonsensical or humorous translations. It's always important to double-check translations and consider the context before using them in conversation! ๐
