Health is terrified!

Yesterday, we were helping a friend translate few Hindi sentences to English as part of her assignment (She is learning Hindi). We came across the sentence:

"Meri Tabiyat Bahut Ghabra Rahi Hain. "

She started the translation by writing the literal meaning of the words as:

Meri: Mine
Tabiyat: Health
Bahut: Very
Ghabra: Terrified
Rahi Hain: Is

So it actually summed up to: "My health is very terrified." instead of "I am feeling nauseated." Don't you just love the language translations?
