Arabic translation:ركبت القطار هنا اليوم.
Explanation:
The Boston subway system. Represents the triumph of fuzzy logic, or something, because it does not actually stand for any single word. Cambridge Seven Associates thought it up in the early 1960s when the state hired them to design graphics for the then new MBTA. Their goal was to come up with something as recognizable as a cross that also evoked the idea of transit, transportation, tunnel, etc.

الشاي


Explanation:
She was trying to give an example of nonsense, and since she is Japanese then most probably the "T" here means the drink "tea".
But actually most any absurd phrase may go.
