Oh, no, sorry! 'Jon' refers to Jonathan, not you, Janny. Sorry.

Do some more botched versions, though! They're funny!

Yah, I also realized that.

It's just that there are so many names for us.
Linky-Winky and Lala ... hehehe

*giggles like kid at tellitubby reference*
Opps Linky! I just got confused as to whether you knew my nationality... oh wait 'Location: England'... eh-oh dipsy Janny...

Does Tellitubby count as foreign language?

Lalaith · 03-14-2004, 07:56 AM

Hmmm, you know that I am Lala.

No, Teletubbish is no real language. No. No. No. Nein.

Janny · 03-14-2004, 09:19 AM

HUH!! NOOOOO!!!!

Does this mean Tellytubbie land isn't real?!!

Ereinion sent me this. Good stuff

.

Grey_Wolf · 03-20-2004, 06:17 AM

Lin, that was a good one.

Nerdanel · 03-20-2004, 07:11 AM

Nice!

Lalaith · 03-20-2004, 07:15 AM

Hmmm, would be nice if I understood it. Too lazy to translate.

Linaewen · 03-20-2004, 07:23 AM

Well, I would've done it, but I have less faith in my translation skills than Ereinion.

Here's my stab in the dark:

1) You remember the meeting in 30? [?] ..Yeah [I don't quite know what 'om' means. Stupid prepositions]
2) You went the wrong way?...Yes
3) Yes...Oh yes
4)I thought maybe you would sneak out to see 'Return of the King'

Correct me if I got something wrong.

Lalaith · 03-20-2004, 02:52 PM

Entschuldigung (

) für die dumme Frage. Hehehe.

Thanks for the translation. Don't get the point of the whole story, though.

Grey_Wolf · 03-21-2004, 04:08 AM

According to an automobile magazine:

"the majority of all carowners clearly spend more time inside the car than outside."

Janny · 03-21-2004, 07:17 AM

Yeah, I read a newspaper article the other day that 'Fizzy Drinks Rot Teeth, says Dentist'. Hmm, you don't say.

Ist es richtig dass man in Nordeurope... ah...
Is it true that in Scandinavia you sometimes get acid snow?

Acutally I didn't mean to excuse, but I wanted to use the word. Hehehe.

Minor corrections:
Die Frage war nicht so dumm.
Entschuldigung, dass du es nicht verstanden hast.

But yep, for not having learned it in a course, very, very good. Ich bin stolz auf dich.

Acid snow is nothing but frozen acid rain, and acid rain is as common in Scandinavia as anywhere else.

Men tyvärr är vår berggrund här i Skandinavien så kalkfattig, att den neutraliserar det sura regnet mycket dåligt.

Jag tror faktiskt att de har mer surt regn i resten av Europa; men det kan hända att jag har hört helt fel.

I'm sorry, but I didn't have the energy to translate that, and it's not that important either.

***Jonathan*** · 03-22-2004, 06:53 PM

Men i Mälardalsområdet, där jag bor, har vi kalkrik berggrund

I Uppsala måste man ibland avkalka vattnet om man t.ex. vill tvätta i det.

Nerdanel · 03-22-2004, 06:56 PM

Bra för er!

Ibland kalkas vattnet och marken här, för att den inte ska bli för sur. Men nu tror jag vi diskuterar en lite konstig sak

så godnatt.
