Tack så mycket, Artanis. How funny!

Lin, you are clever at speaking Swedish Tack! Du är ett (?) snäll kvinna. Quote:
(Used a dictionary - ) Och, du också är min bra vän, Artanis. Ja, Beleg är båda till våra man. (I'm probably very wrong in this translation - förlåt!) ! Artanis har röd damunderkläder !! And, you also are my good friend, Artanis. Yes, Beleg is both of our man. Artanis has red lingerie! Care to translate, Baby-K? Baby-K är vackner men också ond. Baby-K is beautiful, but also evil.

Snuskig Baby-K! Du är inte ett fin vän till mig!
I love Swedish! What I want most for my birthday is a Swedish/English dictionary. Mean/Nasty Baby-K! You are not a good friend to me! Last edited by Linaewen : 06-13-2003 at 05:07 AM. |

Sveiki! Kaip aš supratau, čia visi rašo visokias nesamonės ir aš nusprendžiau padalyvauti šiame procese.
Gaila kad šiame forume negalima rašyti rusiškai, todėl aš rašysiu lietuviškai.

Tack, Artanis. I should probably edit my posts too. As should Baby K *glares in general direction of South Africa*

Literal, word for word: You know of course you is all from your heads off. (Oh and I is convinced that there a kink in the cable is with the new Lin that we suddenly have ) (Afrikaans doesn't have an equivalent of 'are' to indicate plural verbs, but use plural nouns & pronouns instead) Translation as it would normally be used: You do, of course, realise that you are all off yer rockers (Oh, and I am convinced that there is a twist in the tale with the new Lin we suddenly have ) This is my favourite Afrikaans song: (well one of them anyway) Skadu's teen die Muur (Koos du Plessis) Die donker kom van buite en syfer deur die ruite en ek gooi nog 'n paar kole op die vuur. Die tafel en die laaikas -- en alles wat eers vas was -- versmelt tot blote skadu's teen die muur. Ons drome van gister word somber en sinister, want, kyk, alles het 'n vasgestelde uur: Ons beplan toringblokke, maar die slopers is betrokke, en ons drome is bloot skadu's teen die muur. Met orrelbegeleiding kom die voorspel tot die skeiding maar dis alles reg -- die lewe is 'n vuur; en van die vurige hofmaak hoor ons later in die hofsaak, want die liefde is 'n skadu teen die muur. In swart of wit getooi, in 'n stoet of in konvooi, wonder elkeen hoelank alles nog sal duur; en leef holderstebolder, want die kis wag op die solder..... en die lewe is 'n skadu teen die muur. Die donker kom van buite en syfer deur die ruite en ek gooi nog 'n paar kole op die vuur. En my voete en my hande word ou bekende lande in skadukaarte teen die kamermuur. Die wêreld word 'n skadu teen die muur; 'n flikkerende skadu teen die muur. Translation (I hope you get the meaning of the song, as a lot of the poetry will be lost) Shadows on the Wall The darkness comes from outside and enters through the windows and I add a few more coals to the fire (should probably rather use the word 'logs' for coals) The table & the closet and everything that once was fastened (as in immovable) are reduced to mere shadows on the wall. Our dreams of yesterday become sombre and sinister, because, you see, everything has a predestined hour We envision towering blocks, but the (stropers) are involved and our dreams are merely shadows on the wall The organ (as in church music) announces the beginning (foreplay) to the split, but it's allright - love is a fire; and of the fiery courting we hear later, in the courtcase because love is a shadow on the wall. Dressed in black or white In a procession (for funerals) or convoy everyone wonders how long it all will last And live our crazy lives because the coffin is waiting and life is a shadow on the wall. The darkness comes from outside and enters through the windows and I add a few more coals to the fire. And my hands and feet become old, familiar countries in shadowmaps against the wall. The world becomes a shadow on the wall a dwindling shadow on the wall. (and that was a really crappy translation by moi - it reduces the song to a bunch of tripe ) Oh al the words in brackets aren't part of the translation, but are my thoughts OK. (I couldn't remember the word for 'stroper' - it means those trucks etc they use at construction sites to strip & flatten the land)

SÃ*, ella se enseña Sueco. (Yes, she teaches herself Swedish)
I only teached her the basics of Norwegian. Aprendando Español! Es muy divertido!

Oui, elle s'enseigne. Il paraît qu'elle apprend la langue suédoise sans aucune aide de moi. Elle est son propre professeur.
Si, pienso que el español es muy divertido. ¡Apréndalo! Y Linaewen, en los paÃ*ses de habla hispana, las ranas croar como esto: cruá cruá, berp, croac. Pero hay muchos paÃ*ses donde las ranas croan casi como en Suecia (quack quack). En africaans, albanés, danés, holandés, finlandés, alemán, noruego etc. las ranas suenan como los patos en inglés. quack quack. Sonidos de la rana. Oh, I wonder if anyone can understand that. The latter, Spanish text was just an inside thing between me and Linaewen

"Yes, I think that Spanish is much fun. And Linaewen, in Spanish-speaking countries, the frogs croak like this: cruá cruá, berp, croac. But there are many countries where the frogs croak almost like in Sweden (quack quack). In Afrikaans, Albanian, Danish, Hollandic, Finlandic, German, Norwegian etc. the frogs sounds like the ducks in English. quack quack." Español es divertido, sino también difÃ*cil. Pero puedo leer esta: Señor de los Anillos

Yes, that was a correct translation. In another thread, Linaewen thought it was funny that the frogs in Sweden croaked quack quack
