I reeeaaaally need help >.<
If there is anyone who knows Vietnamese or something can you PLEASE translate this for me and I'll be forever grateful :]

WARNING: Please do not pour dirty mop water here. Plates are washed here.

Or you can just say dirty water instead of dirty mop water, it doesn't matter which one it is :]

Haha weeell, at my school there are a bunch of Vietnamese people working there as cleaners.
My mum is a teacher there and she has been complaining that they pour the dirty water in the sink where the cook washes the dishes x_x;
And one time this one teacher found a cluster of hair in the sink and some grime O_O
They don't speak Icelandic or English, so I'm making a label for her & she's going to stick it on the wall haha.

@ Fluffynpink ... do you know if these folks are really Vietnamese, or could they be hmong or montanard (sp) that are just from Vietnam? If so they won't be able to read the sign in Vietnamese anyway as they don't speak that language ...

If all else fails, you could use pictures

- picture of mop+bucket with a big red X
- picture of plates, spoon, as well as an open mouth with a big green Check Mark

Because the woman that hired them knows them & said they were from Vietnam.
They could speak a little English & understand "where are you from" and stuff like that, maybe.

Thats a great idea :D
If this idea doesn't work I'll definately do that n_n


@adiktdtololi~
Well, the woman that hired sucks up to foreigners.
Most of the people are like that here in Iceland, it's silly tbh, they hire foreigners instead of Icelandic people. Especially in this crisis when families really need jobs -.-

@avich .... ICElandic gives me the shivers .... where I live both "snow" and "cold" are considered '4 letter' words ... desu~

Like I told Fluffy the other day, I lot more people die of the cold than die from warmth and sunshine ...
