Walter Montego:
Exactly !!! Lol

Further proof that english isn't straightforward !


Hear here

Nice works: Is that why we drive on the parkway, and park on the drive way? Or that shipments go by truck, and cargo goes by ship?

Heard that in a quiz once. The answer they gave was that originally pants referred to fabric wrapped separately on each leg then wrapped or tied at the waist. Saying that trousers were from a Welsh word meaning tight shorts of some kind lol

Then you could mention tweezers, scissors or pliers. Let's face it English isn't the most straightforward of languages!

:)

ughaibu: Yes, it’s curious. In french, the two words are singular.

ughaibu: it is a symbol of the toxic masculinity and male dominance oppressing women.
SlashEndOfSarcasm

Why are trousers plural but bra singular?

ughaibu: It’s the 1st time I use this smiley. I don’t accept that someone can be rude with me. So, I think my reply wouldn’t be very nice. Your reply is good if you want something polite.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was hoping for something less subtle than "may god bless you" but less blunt than . I considered ((may god bless you) + ())/2 but that seems to be going the wrong way in terms of subtlety. So I decided on "the pleasure's all mine".

AlliumCepa: :)

ughaibu: Perhaps something like this :

ughaibu: May God bless you.

Fencer:

I see, thanks. I guess my opponent isn't the most gracious of losers. What's a suitable reply?

Fencer: lol

ughaibu: I think that "asshole" would be very close.

What does "Hovado jedno" mean?

Jaak: Thanks

Stepanov Oleg: I recommend to contact with Crasto because he is the only active Russian translator now.

AlliumCepa: OK. No problems. Just try inform - Russians sentences here not cool. ;-)

King Reza: IMHO, in the examples both phrases referred to the plot. However, in a different context "takes place" could also mean "filmset". Suggesting that a motion picture was produced during ancient Greece is historically incorrect and technically unattainable.

Stepanov Oleg: Олег, с Русском переводят: Yuri, Crasto, ergart, Helena. Никто другой не может изменить текст. Удачи.

I am so apologize. I suppose game Halma better translate on Russian like Хальма, not Уголки. Because Уголки (Corners) is a game with "home" 3x3, and if black finished just after white will be draw.
Can I suggest my help for rules? Some of words not correct...

King Reza: Hi Reza, I believe you are wrong indeed. Both terms refer to the plot of the movie, regardless of where the movie was filmed/shot.

Hi. It looks like the board has been "dead" for quite a while. So, I guess I'm resurrecting it :). Here's my question: I was reading a conversation about a couple of movies, and there were two sentences which caught my attention. One said, "The movie is set in ancient China." and the other said (about a different movie), "The movie takes place in Italy." Am I right in thinking that when we're talking about a movie's being set in a place, we're referring to where the plot takes place, like the movie Mummy (the first one) is set in ancient Egypt, and that when we're talking about where a movie takes place, we're discussing where it has been filmed, so technically, a movie can never take place in ancient China? Correct me, please, if I'm wrong. I'll be grateful.

Орлин: You should ask Fencer. I am not sure how he decides to add languages. I believe people interested in a particular language also contribute to its being implemented and translated onto the site.

Zdravo svima! Je li moguće dodati hrvatski jezik na našem siteu? Ja ne vidim razlog da ne može jer već ima npr. bugarski i slovački. Hrvatski mi je najvoljeniji jezik nakon maternjeg bugarskog. A ima li Hrvata na Brain Kingu? Vjerojatno ne bi bilo problem uvesti na siteu i bosanski ili srpski, koje ja također volim.

rod03801: If you find odd things funny that explains why you think I'm funny! I once used google translate here for some Czech translation (English to Czech) and did I ever butcher it!

Artful Dodger: No, I never trust google translate. Unless it's something I was pretty sure about anyway. I just felt it was funny how it was saying the opposite, and the placements of the "not" part of the translation, which changed the meaning to the opposite.
I find odd things funny

Pedro Martínez: thanks!

Artful Dodger: You're right, Dan. That's exactly what it means.

rod03801: Hmmm, you're probably right. I said happy birthday to a friend in German (they live in Germany) and that was the response. I love the way Google translates it!

Artful Dodger: Not that Google Translate can be trusted, but it suggests the opposite.

"Thanks, Dan. I'm not certain that you speak so well Deutch"

Dank, Dan. Ich habe nicht gewissen, dass du so gut Deutch sprichst.

I think it says something like, "Thanks Dan. I didn't know that you speak German so well." ?

Anyone here wants to trade Hindi for Hebrew?

Jaak: I see. It's similar to English, and easy to understand for me.

TAROU: It is right translated but we like to write shorter:
Palun kasuta autopassi!

Carl: I got it on an Estonian board.
Please use auto pass = Palun kasuta automaatset passi

I have missed Pedro Martinez. Does anyone here or elsewhere know what has become of him?

Does anyone know how to write this in Estonian please. Please use auto pass.

Milioi: Thank you! I knew they were alike...
imTranslator changed the sentence to "Byl to sami hodin jízdy".... what did the translator think of it??

TAROU: Czech translation is very similar to Slovak version, it could be like "To byl hod, samé jedničky."
It is just quite interesting how could get from "jednotky" to "journeys" :)

Milioi: Oh. Good! Thank you very much.
It looks as if I made a terrible wrong translation. Will you tell me its Czech translation for my learning, if you please?

TAROU: Toto = That, bol = was, hod = (dice) roll, samé = only, jednotky = ones (on the dice)

lizrising: "It was very the journey of hours." ( It was the very time travel )

I translated your sentence into Czech by using "imTranslator", and into English by myself.
So I have no confidence in it...

Toto bol hod samé jednotky.
maybe... Toto=The, bol=(it) was, hod=of hours, samé=itself, jednotky=journey

vino: Thank you! That makes a lot more sense.

lizrising: What a roll! Three times one!

Walter Montego: I got the same translation. It was said in my opponent's first move in a Ludo game and I have no idea what that might mean.

lizrising: Pedro might be able to help you. I am waiting for his return to continue a few games. I'm sure he'll check out your post when he returns. He has extensive knowledge of many languages, though I do not know if he knows Slovak.

"This was the very hour drive." <----- Is what I got.

I tried Google translate. The words make sense, but without context it looks like gibberish to me too. Are the Slovak words spelled correctly and in proper tense? I was told this language, Czech, and others in this area can be very strict on these things.

Can anyone translate this? Google Translate gave me gibberish.

Toto bol hod samé jednotky.
