In Ukrainian, the place is called
chornobyl', and translates literally into something like 'black mace', but means 'mugwort'.
I had a 'chornobyl' moment in Kyiv when I grabbed some 'chorvoni perets' and figured "Ah, 'chorni' means black, and 'perets' is pepper, so it should be okay on eggs...
Turns out 'chorvoni' in Ukrainian is red, and their red pepper is thermonuclear.
Next time I'll turn on ALL the lights on in the kitchen ;-)
Here 'ya go. I don't rely much on online translators for articles, but one word at a time they do okay.
If you want to have some REAL fun, put an article into Bablefish, then plug the translation into it again and run it through a few different languages, then back into English. It comes out pretty hilarious.
