Repose

I guess google translate is a good idea, just like esperanto was back in the day. Unfortunately neither of them work. At least not that good.

I was asking a person today, non-speaking English, "how are you"? The response was "repose", which is all good and dandy since is means "rest or lie" according to Cambridge dictionary. The thing was I had to look it up.

When was the last time you responded "repose" to a question how you are? I'm guessing never.

Hopefully google translate will have a brighter future than esperanto.

hmm, I don't get at all how that would be an answer to 'How are you?'

I guess she meant "I'm resting".
