It wasn’t long before “hold the door” – a phrase which now has new meaning for every Thrones fan (opens in new tab) – was trending everywhere…but what did it sound like in other countries?

While some of those translations are almost identical to the English version – that’d be the Danish, Norwegian, and Dutch takes – there are others which are a bit of a stretch to say the least (the Hebrew translation is particularly hilarious).

Season 7 of Game of Thrones will debut in summer 2017.
