Translations and transliterations are two different things.

Transliteration: come in clear
Translation: stop speaking vaguely

It's literal translation. Transliteration means writing out words phonetically in a different language.
Many idioms and expressions can't be translated literally from language to language but there might be similar expressions that express the same idea.

The literal translations are supposed to bring a chuckle and it was following other posts....
Like saying hear me out, or don't laugh me out.....there no here, from what to talk......
For her Mir ois, Lach mich nisht ois, s'is nisht du, fin vus tzi redden.
Instead of listen to me or don't laugh at me, or there's nothing to talk about.

Let's say the word shayich. Pertinent doesn't do it.
You can say give me the info that pertinent to this subject,
But when you say....it's not shayich when someone suggests an idea, advice or a shidduch......and you say it's bchlal not shayich.... then pertinent is not such a word.....
Because shayich is more than that, it also encapsulates that it's not compatible, don't think it will work, and doesn't even make sense, not only as in it doesn't have relation or connection to.

The way you're translating isn't fair

Hear me out is proper in English as well
