Rofl, Top class

[sephiroth1084]

Good stuff!

[Brutous]

this is awsome stuff... however I can't help to think that this will make the Farmers stop farming or will create an international incident with China.

[Onesikpup]

now maybe i can get paid, thanks for the translator

[akla_thornfist]

Can you translate the follow for me from Wife to English?

"No, I don't want a Birthday present. I just want to spend time with you. It's okay really you don't have to get me anything."

I would so appreciate your skillz-
I think I know the answer however I just need confirmation...

Ahh yes this is a tricky one for the average male to discern so I will help you.

Translation :- "I dont want to tell you what I want, you should have been listening to my converstations and know whatever my heart desires I want to spend lots of time with you however the quality of that time will depend upon what you buy me for my present ".

[Vesuvia]

You should just tell her to reroll for her birthday.

[query]

What's often missed is not the sentence but the LOOK she gives you when saying this... while you look over to the television to check the sports feed.

Yes, they speak like that other Chinese language where the tone (of her body) literally changes what is "identically" spoken.

Ahh yes this is a tricky one for the average male to discern so I will help you.

Translation :- "I dont want to tell you what I want, you should have been listening to my converstations and know whatever my heart desires I want to spend lots of time with you however the quality of that time will depend upon what you buy me for my present ".

[Nirvana]

couple errors here.

1) Gold farmers are not all Chinese. If you think that way, well your conclusion is based on stereo-type.

2) Couple errors on that list. Didn't go through all of them, but the last two are definitely wrong.

ge yi / Can

bu ge yi / Can’t


should be

ke yi / Can

bu ke yi / Can’t

[query]

doesn't necessarily know the other languages to translate silly

ke yi / Can

bu ke yi / Can’t

[Aranticus]

add it to my conversation Chinese thread

Query, dave is using the pinyin version and "can" is ke in pinyin. It's standardized, other forms are likely to be dialects and not mandarin

[alchilito]

Another quality DfC production

[Aranticus]

1) Gold farmers are not all Chinese. If you think that way, well your conclusion is based on stereo-type.

Most of the plat farmers are chinese. It's just like a person wanting to go to another country to live. You do not need to learn ALL the languages, you just learn the one that is spoken by the majority of the people

That means you better be getting her a present....we all say we dont want presents/flowers/stuff....but its a lie designed to trick you...If we tell you we just want you, and you go ahead and get us something it means you really love us.....yeah I know they going to beat me for explaining female thought to males, but occassionally I feel sorry for you

This translation is also acceptable.....particularly the part regarding "you should have been listening..."

Its so much better when you remember that we oohhed and ahhed over the sapphire necklace at Zales

[Dozen_Black_Roses]

Well I think the title of your post could be changed, but I appreciate the post as when I pug at odd times on Sarlona, there are alot of players from China (refugees from the collapse of DDO China), and I would like to communicate better even if it is just a few key words. I have had some very good raids with them, and will try a few of these out. Thanks!
