How do you say "[you have the] wrong number" in your language?

acetanilide@lemmy.world to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 31 points –

I get wrong numbers all the time in other languages. I only speak English fluently. The languages I studied previously were mainly in writing so speaking other languages is quite intimidating for me.

Top languages in my area: Spanish (mainly Mexico and Puerto Rico), Vietnamese, Korean, and Russian. I've also encountered Igbo, Yoruba, Arabic, and Haitian Creole.

Learning how to say something like "I only speak English" would be helpful as well.

I did find this website but I have no way of knowing how accurate it is:

It means " sorry , you had the wrong number " in standard Arabic...

It means " I only speak English "

This is helpful. Thank you

Simpler to say is

Raqam ghalat

That's what I say, you could throw in a sorry at the end

Possible too , but I wrote the standard way because Arabs understand it no matter what their dialect is
