To live on a ship means to get used to a lot of new things. For one, the language. I've tried to collect a few of the words that thrive around here.
Taka taka - to talk/chat. "No more taka taka, get to work".
Banana - to get banana means to get in trouble. "You'll get big banana if you get caught"
Da - yes. My manager and assistant manager are from Romania, so obviously we use the romanian yes.
Kaput - to be done/finished/broken. "My legs are kaput".
Structure - a foreign word that doesn't exist on the ship. It's an alien concept and people will look at you weirdly.
You will be fluent in Ship when you're back in Denmark!
