Post and translate any and all quotations - the question is, how do the semantics translate, especially in incomplete references?

I'll post some when I can,

Good luck!

L'etat c'est moi! -Louis XIV

I actually don't know how to translate this one yet. It depends on if you translate it as "I am the state" or "The state, it is me!"

Have at it!

I shall return! ...to translate

Two versions of philosophy from dogs:

1. If it falls on the floor, eat it. If it turns out not to be food, you can always throw it up later.

2. If you can't eat it, and you can't f**k it, well, p**s on it.

edited second one so T_F can read it on his family computer.

@Achemel: Regarding your quote of Eldin's post, could you please censor the quote as Eldin has done to the original? It seems the dirty words are blocking T_F from viewing this thread. Thanks!

achemel · Posted: Sat Jun 27, 2009 5:06 am Post subject:

How do I censor something? Sorry I've not asked sooner - I've been working a lot this week.

Eeeeeeedit:
And I've just looked like a smart person at what eldin did and I'll do the same immediately. (^_^)

Thanks ^_^
I was originally trying to come up with something based off the word for 'battle' or 'fight', tasja, but those were all too long (karemitasja, 'country-fight', just didn't work.)
I have an overderivation problem - whenever I need a new word, I always try hard to come up with ways to derive it from extant words when I really don't need to.

I try to do that to an extent, but only as much as is necessary, to preserve variety and variation of sound etc. Of course the sounds will be changed, especially due to letters etc surrounding the core derivative, but I prefer to have less of a substantial connection and more an implied one.

I'm using this to see, how does the "old" and "new" disagreement sentence pattern works Very Happy

"The world is adangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."
-Albert Einstein

nn Mūna an hrēdan Plassa perētiam, ponbanuam Animas Hadru de, no pon Animas montre, o ekki debanuam.

the land a dangareous place is-yes, because-not beings evil do, but because beings look, and something do-not.

OR

nn Mūna an hrēdan Plassa pere, ba pon Animas Hadru de, no pon Animas montre, o ekki ba de.

the land a dangerous place is, not because beings evil do, but because beings look, and something not do.

Somehow I like the "old" style better (although it's fresh and new Very Happy

). I don't really think any actual gloss is needed in here Smile
