AnonyMouse_2157 Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 hi there all does anyone know a reliable website for finding out how to say good morning in other languages (including correct spelling and pronunciation?) I've done a search on the net but each site I visit seems to throw up different versions and have course I want to get it right!! cheers.... in anticipation
AnonyMouse_480 Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 Hi Liza, my daughter uses a site called Bablefish translation for checking homework that she is stuck on, you can translate up to 150 words. www.babelfish.altavista.com sorry no idea how to do a link !
Guest Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 bonjour- France guten Morgen- German доброе утро- Russian ( dobroe utro ) buenos días- spanish dobro jutro - Serbo-Croat Sorry i do not know any site and I am not sure how you will pronaunce thise Try search for free translating sites
Steve Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 Hi - A good site is www.freetranslation.com. It failed, however, to accomplish a critical test. I asked it to translate "My Grandmother's ear trumpet has just been struck by Lightning" into Italian (well you never know when you might need to explain this to someone in Italian). I asked it then to translate the Italian phrase it came up with back into English. It came up with the following English phrase: "Acoustic my croissant of the Grandmother has just was hit from the lightning bolt"
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 And you want to know what we're like!!! Sue
AnonyMouse_64 Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 Thankyou Steve - I just wasted another 10 minutes typing in meaningless phrases to see what it came up with.
AnonyMouse_79 Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 Well you cant complain that we dont have a giggle on here!!
Guest Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 And you want to know what we're like!!! Sue 29880[/snapback] Hear, hear! First he's wishing happy birthday to someone called Spotty, and now he's turning his grandma's ear trumpet into a croissant. She'll get jam in her ears, and that won't exactly improve her hearing, will it? Anyone seen my marbles? Maz
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Hiya maz! Jam in her ears? Poor old love!!! As for your marbles, you should find the last one floating around in a corner in Minehead, that's where I lost mine! Sue
Guest Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Is that where all the lost marbles go, Sue? Is Minehead full of right thinking, clear headed souls who are benefitting from the loss of brainpower suffered by us poor souls? Maybe they should change the name to Ourhead... Maz PS Note to self: must get out more...
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 No, don't worry yourself, it's me that needs to get out more!!! I just suffer quite badly with Marillionitis - totally incurable!!! By the way, that was really good - Ourhead...I like that. It'll never be the same again! Sue
Guest Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Ha ha ha! This conversation has got me chuckling away to my self!!! Thanks for that! Sarah
Guest Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 I just suffer quite badly with Marillionitis - totally incurable!!! 29923[/snapback] Could be worse: I have a friend (no, really, I do) who is completely obsessed with Lionel Rich Tea. She even dragged me along to one of his concerts at Wembley last year. Poor deluded soul... Maz PS: My own musical tastes probably wouldn't stand up to scrutiny!
