Some mothers' children! Explanation: واقعا چه آدمايي پيدا مي شنا this is the colloquial pronunciation for واقعا چه آدمهايی پيدا میشوند ها literally: what people are found, huh?!...of course this is being critical of other people's behavior. We could probably find a dozen or more ways to say this in English: What an inconsiderate moron/dimwit/twit/ignoramus! or, simply: Some people! or, my mother's favorite: The nerve of some people! my favorite: Some mothers' children! |
