| pableras28 | Friday 14th of April 2006 12:21:01 AM |
| - Je ne suis pas sûr de la dernière part, je dirais \"pour parler sérieusement d\'elle\". Le seul lieu où tu peux trouver succès avant de travailler, c\'est au dictionnaire. Your lips are the arms I want to hug me and your eyes, the ligt I want to enlighten my life. [color=red]...succès avant travailler, c\'est DANS le dictionnaire[/color] | |

| Danial | Monday 08th of May 2006 09:35:27 PM |
| - Lol, c\'est drôle de comment il n\'y a personne a fait ma phrase. Alors je le ferai. Je ferai mon meilleur pour mes examens! Ensuite: [b]You have to work for money unless you are an hotel heir/heiress.[/b] [color=red]Edit Mery: je ferai de mon mieux[/color] | |

| - or, would you say il faut qu\'un travailler pour l\'argent...? | |
| Danial | Tuesday 09th of May 2006 12:11:04 PM |
| - [i]Well you were close! :) Good try though![/i] [quote][i]Posted by tsahyalakum [/i] Vous pouvez ---> can devez ---> have to à moins que ---> unless directeur ---> director, head or for the hotel, a hotel manager. un(e) héritier(e) ---> an heir/heiress Well, you have not given an sentence, so I\'ll give: [b]First they ignore you, then they fight you and you win.[/b] - Mahatma Ghandi. | |
| Mery | Tuesday 09th of May 2006 08:24:53 PM |
| - Danial, I think you shouldn\'t try to correct people since you\'re not fluent. Your correction isn\'t even correct :S | |
| Danial | Tuesday 09th of May 2006 10:48:22 PM |
| - [quote]Edit Mery: vous devez travailler pour gagner de l\'argent, à moins que vous soyez l\'héritier/l\'héritière d\'un hôtel. [/quote] [quote]Vous devez travailler pour l\'argent, à moins que vous êtes un(e) héritier(e) de une hotel. [/quote] Ok, désolé, although I was close!! Just missed \'gagner de\' and \'soyez\' *cross fingers hoping it\'s a lesson* :) Hmm... so could you use either, le/la or un/une for héritier d\'un hôtel or just le/la because the sentence to be translated was \'an hotel heir/heiress\'. | |
| Mery | Tuesday 09th of May 2006 11:14:19 PM |
| - Je n\'employerais pas un ou une dans cette phrase tout simplement parce que ça sonnerait bizarre. Ok, je répète ta phrase: First they ignore you, then they fight you and you win | |
| Ignas | Saturday 24th of June 2006 03:19:01 PM |
| - En début on ignore toi, plus tard on lutte contre toi et puis tu gagnes. I like sweet layer-cakes on my birthdays. [color=red]Edit Mery: au début, ils t\'ignorent, puis ils se battent contre toi et tu gagnes[/color] | |
| pableras28 | Saturday 24th of June 2006 11:25:16 PM |
| - J\'aime les gâteaux à couches de chocolat en mes anniversaires. (toutefois, cette phrase n\'a pas beaucoup de sens pour moi, peut-être nous devrions employer une autre préposition) Go buy cookies for the dessert. [color=red]Edit Mery: pour mon aniversaire, j\'aime les gâteaux avec des couches de chocolat[/color] | |
| leobloom | Thursday 29th of June 2006 05:06:59 AM |

| - Nous sommes ensemble dans celui-ci tout le monde. I have had french long time ago and would like to refresh my memory. I am sorry for the bad and very literal translation. Yesterday, we have bought apples on the market. [color=red]Edit Mery: it\'s a very literal translation indeed :) I firdt thought you were using an online dictionary. On en fait tous partie[/color] | |
| Danial | Friday 14th of July 2006 05:54:11 PM |

I would say [i]Nous sommes tous dans ceci ensemble[/i] but I\'ll leave that to Mery when she come back :) [b]I\'m hungry, let\'s get something to eat.[/b] :) [color=red]Edit Mery: sur le marché I\'m not sure of the previous sentence. I don\'t really understand the English version :S lol[/color] | |

| Rainbow_Oasis | Tuesday 18th of July 2006 12:19:26 AM |
| - Ma goupille coule vide de l\'encre. Are you busy working on your thesis? [color=red]Edit Mery: a pen = un stylo une goupille = a pin Mon style n\'a plus d\'encre[/color] | |
| Danial | Sunday 23rd of July 2006 01:42:16 PM |

| - Nous avons plané, volé, il n\'y a pas l\'étoile dans le ciel, que nous ne pouvons porter pas. New sentence --> I haven\'t been online for a while, but now I have a little more time. | |

| - Je n\'étais pas connectée depuis quelque temps mais maintenant, j\'ai un peu plus de temps (probably too mot à mot) new sentence -> Don\'t trouble your head about it. | |
| Danial | Saturday 02nd of September 2006 11:02:40 AM |

| - J\'èspere qu\'il fait sec cet aprèsmidi. :p [b]\"Calme-toi!\" s\'écria la police. \"Mais ils ont volé mon Klimpt!\" [/b] | |
| Rainbow_Oasis | Tuesday 05th of September 2006 02:54:38 PM |
| - \"Calm-down\", yelled the police. \"But they have stolen mine Klimpt!\" Vous pouvez avoir un bon, quand vous ne calmez pas! | |
| Danial | Tuesday 05th of September 2006 04:10:32 PM |
| - You can have an advantage, when you don\'t calm yourself down. :p [b]Je n\'arrive pas de terminer ses phrases. Hier encore, je vais...[/b] :D | |
| Rainbow_Oasis | Saturday 09th of September 2006 10:34:01 PM |
| - I meant to say \"You can have a ticket\", as in a fee to the police, for being rude, instead of \"advantage\". Should I use a different word then to replace bon? What is Klimpt? I don\'t get to finish your sentences. Yesterday, I was still going to ... J\'aime du bon temps et je veux dire un livre dans le soleil. | |
| Petra | Friday 15th of September 2006 05:21:08 AM |
| - I like/love the good weather and I\'d like to read a book in the sunshine. Je sais que tu n\'étais pas à la maison hier mais à la discotheque quoiqu\'il t\'aie fallu apprendre pour ton examen. | |
| Danial | Saturday 16th of September 2006 12:13:20 AM |
| - [i]Klimpt is just a name of a painting ;) :D[/i] A ticket as in a fine from the police, I\'m don\'t really sure, what it\'s called in French. :S Je sais que tu n\'étais pas à la maison hier mais à la discotheque quoiqu\'il t\'aie fallu apprendre pour ton examen. [i]Wow, great a long sentence by the way :p but one tiniest error. :p[/i] quoiqu\'il t\'ai[b]t[/b] fallu ;) hmm... and étudier(study) instead of apprendre(learn) sounds better :) I know that you weren\'t at home yesterday but rather at the discotheque although it was necessary that you learn for your examination. ---> [b]Je te suis quand même.[/b] | |
| Rainbow_Oasis | Friday 22nd of September 2006 04:05:24 PM |
| - I am not quite sure of the meaning, but I will try. I am the same person as you. ? (if I would translate it litterally, it would be something like \"I am your when self\". --> You play the piano beautifully, did you teach/learn that (to) yourself? | |
| Danial | Saturday 23rd of September 2006 05:38:14 PM |
| - Ah... Rainbow :D Je te suis quand même, can be translated to either [b]I am you anyway.[/b] or [b]I\'m following anyway.[/b] :) The most logical one is the second one :) which is what I was looking for :)[color=red]your explanation is not correct!!! je te suis quand même -> I am following you anyway. The first sentence is wrong[/color] Tu joues parfaitement le piano. Tu t\'as appris? [b]Oui, je m\'ai appris quand j\'avais quinze ans.[/b] [color=red]tu joues parfaitement du piano ;) tu l\'as appris de toi-même? oui, je l\'ai appris de moi-même OR oui je me le suis enseigné[/color] | |
| Rainbow_Oasis | Sunday 24th of September 2006 10:20:32 PM |
| - Yes, I have learned it (myself), when I was 15 years old. J\'achetais le deuxième dans la troisième ligne. [color=red]your sentence doesn\'t mean anything. You wrote: I bought the second one in the third line???:D er... [/color] | |
| Rainbow_Oasis | Tuesday 26th of September 2006 05:23:48 PM |
| - I meant to say that, but I understand I should have used a noun for second too. Ok, I will give a new sentence. In the store there were three beds in a row and the shopkeeper fell asleep in the middle one. | |
| Petra | Wednesday 27th of September 2006 07:35:29 PM |
| - Dans le magasin il y avait trois lits côté à côté et le vendeur s\'est endormi dans le lit au milieu (???). But he couldn\'t sleep for a long time as a client came and wanted to buy exactly the bed the shopkeeper was sleeping in. | |
| Rainbow_Oasis | Tuesday 03rd of October 2006 05:03:46 PM |
| - Mais il ne pouvait pas dormir pour un long temps, puisque un client arrivait et voulait acheter exactement le lit en quoi le vendeur était dormi. How do you call the tense in which you write \"he was sleeping\" both in English and in French? After the shopkeeper woke up, the client tried (out?) the bed and decided to buy a bed in another store. | |
| Petra | Wednesday 04th of October 2006 05:48:09 AM |
| - how mean of the client ;) Après le vendeur s\'était levé, le client à essayé le lit et il s\'est résous d\'acheter un lit dans un autre magasin. The woman couldn\'t fall asleep because it was too loud outside. | |
| Rainbow_Oasis | Tuesday 10th of October 2006 02:28:41 PM |
| - La femme ne pouvait pas s\'endormir, parce-que il y a trop bruyant dehors. She didn\'t know the dogs were barking, because there was a burglar snooping around. | |
| welenA | Friday 13th of October 2006 04:54:28 AM |
| - [quote][i]Originally posted by Danial[/i] Ah... Rainbow :D Je te suis quand même, can be translated to either [b]I am you anyway.[/b] or [b]I\'m following anyway.[/b] :) [/quote] Well actually it can\'t be translated as \"I am you anyway\" it would be \"Je suis toi quand même\" | |
| Petra | Sunday 15th of October 2006 07:01:55 PM |
| - [quote][i]Originally posted by Rainbow_Oasis[/i] She didn\'t know the dogs were barking, because there was a burglar snooping around.[/quote] Elle ne savait pas que les chiens aboyaient parce qu\'un cambrioleur fureaient. If she had known that she would have called the police. | |
| Rainbow_Oasis | Wednesday 18th of October 2006 12:01:03 AM |
| - Thanks welena Oooh, this one is really difficult. Si elle cet avais su, elle voudrais ait téléphoné à la police. ? How do you call the tense(s) used in the previous sentence in both french and english? (she had known and she would have called) New sentence: Luckily for her, the burglar didn\'t break into her house. | |
| croll | Thursday 19th of October 2006 01:02:36 PM |
| - Heureusement pour elle, le cambrioleur n\'a pas pénétré par effraction dans sa maison. -> It was all because the neighbours in her society are pay attention at each other. | |
| Carla | Thursday 19th of October 2006 02:43:49 PM |
| - C\'était parce que dans la société où elle vivait les voisins se souciaient les uns des autres. Since she couldn\'t get to sleep, she got up and turned on the TV. [quote]Si elle cet avais su, elle voudrais ait téléphoné à la police. [/quote] Si elle [b]l\'avait[/b] su, elle [b]aurait[/b] téléphoné à la police avait su = indicatif plus-que-parfait aurait téléphoné = conditionnel passé | |
| Snowcloud | Friday 20th of October 2006 02:43:41 AM |
| - Parce qu´elle n´avait pas été capable de s´endormir, elle s´est levée et a mis le téléviseur en marche. Do you agree to the tenses I used here?? -> As this dictionary isn´t my one, I have to give it back tomorrow. | |
| Carla | Friday 20th of October 2006 10:48:24 PM |
| - Comme ce dictionnaire n\'est pas le mien, je dois le rendre demain. --> I\'m going to buy a new dictionary tomorrow [quote][i]Originally posted by Snowcloud[/i] Parce qu´elle n´avait pas été capable de s´endormir, elle s´est levée et a mis le téléviseur en marche. Do you agree to the tenses I used here?? [/quote] Je dirais: Comme elle n\'arrivait à s\'endormir, elle a allumé la télé ou Comme elle n\'arrivait à s\'endormir, elle alluma la télé | |
| Rainbow_Oasis | Sunday 22nd of October 2006 10:00:36 PM |
| - Thanks Carla! Je vais acheter un dictionnaire neuf demain. [quote]As this dictionary isn´t my own[/quote] --> There is a big, baldy man walking down the street. | |
| Rainbow_Oasis | Friday 24th of November 2006 09:17:04 PM |
| - Il y a un grand homme chauve qui marche sur/par la rue. --> The old man saw a cute girl. | |
| alina | Thursday 30th of November 2006 07:33:06 PM |
| - L\'homme vieux a vu une jolie fille. >>I want to buy an icecream. | |
| Rion | Thursday 30th of November 2006 09:30:24 PM |
| - [i]Le [b]vieil homme[/b] a vu une jolie fille[/i] Je veux acheter une glace. >> My boss can be very nice if you flatter him. | |
| Rainbow_Oasis | Friday 01st of December 2006 01:49:00 AM |
| - Mon maître peut être beaucoup gentil, quand vous lui arrangez. >> Alright, is this a tric question? | |
| Rion | Friday 01st of December 2006 07:24:11 PM |
| - [i]Mon [b]patron[/b] peut être [b]très[/b] gentil, quand tu/vous [b]le flattes/flattez[/b]. Trick is spelt with a k...[/i] Bon d\'accord, c\'est une question piège? >> Ninety-nine green bottles, hanging on the wall... | |
| Rainbow_Oasis | Friday 01st of December 2006 11:06:04 PM |
| - Des quatre-vingt-dix-neuf bouteilles vertes, penillent au mur. Merci Rion! I\'m curious. How would you translate the french sentence, which I wrote in my previous post? Hmm, yes, I was doubting if there should be a k, but I was too lazy to get the english dictionary too, sorry. --> \"Blesh you!\" Said the drunkard to the sneezing cuty. | |
| Danial | Wednesday 06th of December 2006 02:09:57 AM |
| - Euh... not sure what you meant by \'cuty\' you mean\' cutie right? as in cute. Dans ce cas-là... \"A vos souhaits!\" dit l\'ivrogne à jolie fille qui éternuait. ---> S\'il vous plaît, attachez vos ceintures et éteignez vos cigarettes parce que nous allons décoller dans quelques minutes. C\'est très longue, je sais,hehe :p | |
| Rainbow_Oasis | Wednesday 06th of December 2006 03:50:35 AM |
| - Oops, yes I meant cutie. My mistake, sorry. Please, fasten your seatbelts and stop smoking, because we are going to take off within a few minutes. You\'re forgetting ladies and gentlemen. :p --> A cranky voice snipes: \"I said turn of you phone!\" | |
| Danial | Wednesday 06th of December 2006 04:24:41 AM |
| - hmm... \'éteignez vos cigarettes\' doesn\'t mean \'stop smoking\' exactly although it\'s almost the same meaning, a better way to translate it is, \'put out your cigarettes\' :p OHHH, so that whole line wasn\'t long enough for you? :D :D :D Une voix grincheuse canarda: \"Je t\'ai dit d\'éteindre ton téléphone!\" I\'ll give you two now :D ---> How does one make a long sentence, firstly, one must have a subject, then a verb, then an object, of course to make it longer, we can add adjectives to both subject and object while we add adverbs to the verb, which is one long way to make a pretty long sentence. :p OR ---> I would like chocolate now. :D | |
| Rainbow_Oasis | Sunday 10th of December 2006 05:30:49 PM |
| - Thanks Danial. (This time I knew I changed the meaning a little.) Comment est-ce qu\'on fait une longue phrase? Premièrement, on a un sujet, puis un verbe, puis un objet. Naturellement, à le faire plus long, nous pouvons ajouter des adjectives à aussi du sujet et de même que du objet, qu\'est une longue manière à faire une joliment longue phrase.

Danial, tu fais exprès d\'écrire des phrases complètement tordues pour nous faire chier? :p Ralalala tous ces fous... [quote]Merci Rion! I\'m curious. How would you translate the french sentence, which I wrote in my previous post?[/quote] Quelle phrase??[/i] Vu que vous semblez aimer les longues phrases compliquées, je vous propose celle-ci: [b]The French Republic is a democracy which is organised as a unitary semi-presidential republic. It is a developed country with the sixth-largest economy in the world. Its main ideals are expressed in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. France is one of the founding members of the European Union, and has the largest land area of all members. France is also a founding member of the United Nations, and a member of La Francophonie, the G8, and the Latin Union. It is one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council wielding veto power, and it is also one of eight acknowledged nuclear powers. France is the most popular international tourist destination in the world, receiving over 75 million foreign tourists annually. The name France originates from the Franks, a Germanic tribe that occupied the region after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. More precisely, the region around Paris, called Île-de-France, was the original French royal demesne.[/b] :p Si celle-là ne vous tente pas, essayez celle-ci: [b]My flatmate moans at me all the time because I always leave half-empty cups of Tea lying around[/b] :D | |

Elle est une de cinq des membres permenants du conseil de Securité des Nations Unies qui exerce le droit de veto et elle est aussi une des huit puissances nucléaires connues. La France est la plus populaire destination aux touristes dans le monde qui reçoit annuellement 75 millions touristes étrangers. Le nom France est originaire des Francs, une petite tribu qui a résidé la région après la chute du l\'Empire Romain d\'Occident. Plus précisément, la région pres de Paris, s\'appelle Île-de-France qui était l\'orginel de la domaine française royale.[/b] :p Et je jure que je n\'ai pas utilisé ces programmes de traduction mais j\'ai vraiment dû verifier mon dictionnaire! :D [b]La personne avec qui je partage l\'appartement me récrimine tout le temps parce que je toujours laisse mes demi-tasses vides dans les parages.[/b] Corrections s\'il vous plaît! :D | |

Et la fin de ta phrase ne voulait rien dire :p Très très bien fait! Si quelqu\'un a la traduction officielle ça m\'arrangerait, j\'aimerais moi aussi savoir comment ils ont tourné la phrase en français.

| Rion | Tuesday 30th of January 2007 10:47:02 PM |
| - Je me suis fais mordre par un chien. J\'aurais dit \"Un homme est allé tondre, est allé tondre un gré...\" mais bon moi je connais la mélodie :p Bon le y français remplace soit le mot \'là\', soit le mot \'à\' (dans le dialecte lyonnais, ça peut aussi remplacer le COD, par exemple \"j\'y pose ici?\" au lieu de \"je le pose ici?\") Donc, comme on dit \'s\'opposer à\' qqch, on dit alors \'s\'y opposer\' - to oppose it. Et \'mmettre fin à\' qqch, \'y mettre fin\' - to end it. That wasn\'t very clear... if you don\'t get it say so! ---> \"You know the French, they don\'t even have a word for entrepreneur...\" - George W. Bush | |
| Danial | Tuesday 30th of January 2007 11:49:24 PM |

| Rion | Tuesday 30th of January 2007 11:54:31 PM |
| - Oh I\'m sorry!! It means literally \"By opposing it/them put an end to it/them\" :D Je remets ma phrase: ---> \"You know the French, they don\'t even have a word for entrepreneur...\" - George W. Bush | |

| - Les jours allongerai et près le temps vous le savez, l\'été s\'est déjà terminé. C\'est pourqoui c\'est important pour passer tout la minute et s\'amuser la belle saison. Il connait son entourage sur le bout du doigt. | |

| - Proposition de correction (la phrase est assez compliquée) : Les jours s\'allongent, et avant que vous ne vous en rendiez compte, l\'été est déjà fini/terminé. Donc/c\'est pourquoi, il est important de dépenser chaque minute et d\'apprécier la belle saison. For the last sentence, we could also say : C\'est pourquoi il est important d\'apprécier la belle saison à chaque instant (less literal, but more pleasant). Rainbow_Oasis, your french sentence is perfect (we would just rather say : _sur le bout [b]des[/b] doigts_), but I think you have to propose a sentence in english (if I understood the game). | |

| - Ok, thanks Tel. I thought we were doing both ways (like in the title. Anyways, shall I propose a new sentence? here is a new random sentence: How many students do you have in your class? | |
| FaWzY | Tuesday 14th of August 2007 08:56:36 PM |
| - Combien des etudients y a-t-il dan ta classe? --> How can you say it in French? | |
| Tel | Wednesday 15th of August 2007 04:57:17 PM |
| - @Rainbow_Oasis : you are right, I have checked in the previous messages, most of the time the proposed sentence is in english, but you can also propose a french one... (but then we need a person speaking english fluently to correct the english translation ;) ) Fawzy proposal was : --> [b]How can you say it in French?[/b] | |

| - Comment pourrait-tu le dire en français? ;) >>I would like to eat a salad. | |
| FaWzY | Thursday 04th of October 2007 11:30:28 PM |
| - Je voudrais manger un salad. --> When will this end? | |
| Rainbow_Oasis | Sunday 21st of October 2007 04:15:55 PM |
| - tough one, let me try: Quand est-ce que ce finirai? edit: because I forgot to add a new sentence -> I bought these flowers over there. | |
| FaWzY | Wednesday 24th of October 2007 06:02:13 PM |
| - I think it\'d be more like \"Quand est-ce que ça finira?\" J\'ai acheté ces fleures là -bas. --> You must go on a diet to lose weight. | |
| Rainbow_Oasis | Friday 02nd of November 2007 01:12:05 AM |
| - How would you translate: must go? | |
| mattie | Friday 02nd of November 2007 09:49:30 AM |
| - [i]Rainbow_Oasis, I don\'t think there is a literal translation, therefore it has to be translated in a specific context. Here is my attempt, though I\'m not sure if it is correct. I\'m going to use \"il faut + subjunctive\":[/i] Il faut que tu suives un régime pour maigrir. Next sentence: The bus arrived at the station five minutes early. | |
