I cannot find @Alivated any longer as a member??

Wow! True! Alivated: The requested user does not existDeleted User 133.

I've noticed, however, that lama.03 has been absent/silent since round 5 finished: she never published the Arabic translation sent by Alivated... :?

That's odd and confusing...

Could we possibly reroute the game like this:
[mention]Explorer[/mention]: Portuguese > Spanish
[mention]gmads[/mention]: Spanish > Italian

What do you think, [mention]MustafaOuz526752[/mention]?

Yes, I finally realized that I needed to do more than say something like that and found the post about how I could join by putting my name in. So I've done that, I hope in the correct way.

Just in case there might be any confusion or misapprehensions, on the table I listed English (native) and Esperanto (fluent). I've been studying the interconnected web of Romance languages and I'd rank my knowledge of them as follows: Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Catalan, and Romanian. In Duolingo terms, I'm L25 in Esperanto, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian in the courses using English for the base language. I'm L23 in Spanish from Portuguese and L22 in Catalan from Spanish.

Also, imagination and creativity is very important to me in life and thinking. From what I have learned, oftentimes the translators who translate literary works from one language to another (most usually in the direction from another language they know well into their native language or languages), need creativity to capture original author's intent when using metaphors or similes.

I look forward to when I might get a turn at this. Thank you!

What do you think [mention]MustafaOuz526752[/mention] ? Since the participant sequence needs to be redone, as neither Alivated nor Lama.03 seem to be around, could you include Izabela?

[mention]MustafaOuz526752[/mention] So if I understand where things had been hung up, [mention]Cifi[/mention] , is going to translate the German sentence that [mention]Explorer[/mention] had made. And then some point I will receive the translation that Cifi will do and then I'll get try my hands at translating that to Spanish.

Yipes! Better give the Spanish in my head some wakeup by doing some reading in it.

Hi, Izabela,

Yes, that is right, each line has the username, the language in which s/he receives a sentence, and the language into s/he will translate it. Each player PMs (sends a Private Message) to the next player with the translated sentence.

  1. Explorer translates from Portuguese into German, and PMs Cifi.
  2. Cifi translates from German into English, and PMs you.
  3. You translate from English into Spanish, and PM me.
  4. I will then translate from Spanish into Italian, and so forth.

Once the final player receives and translates the sentence, s/he announces it so everyone can then write at the board.net page the sentence s/he received. The idea is to have the whole set of sentences gathered and in order (in sequence) so then they can be copied in here in one step.

You may want to check the last two result pages to see how those rounds went. They are at the index page.

The final idea is to see how much a sentence changes from start to finish :o And to practice our language and translation skills in a fun way :D

Thank you for writing that out and confirming pretty much what I had pieced together from yesterday and today. Head's a bit wonky these days and especially so now for me after getting a covid booster shot yesterday. They always provoke a strong response in me.

It'll be good practice for me to try advance my understanding from being able to read towards an understanding where I can more readily write or even speak in the beautiful languages I've spent time on.

Hi everyone,
first of all Alivated and I sincerely apologize for our sudden absence and are glad that you found a way to continue the 5th round.

[mention]MoniqueMaRie[/mention] [mention]Explorer[/mention] [mention]Jacko079[/mention] [mention]gmads[/mention] Yes guys you're right, Alivated deleted his account for the moment because he has lots of stuff going on but he's doing good so no need to worry.

We both wish you lots of fun in the next rounds! :D

Ps: Don't forget us, we will come back and join you again :lol:

I've received the translation into English by [mention]Cifi[/mention] and hope to translate it in 2 or 3 days. But need a bit of time to think about the sentence and then try to write something comprehensible in Spanish that captures the feel and meaning of the sentence. Comprehensible with not too egregious of grammatical errors.

I hope I've sent the PM to gmads? What I mean is I hit send, but I don't see anything in the sent box, which means either it's disappeared three times or I've sent it three times. I don't know, but that's why I'm posting here to see if anything did get sent.

ETA: it's been a bit of a day here and I wanted to get this done before the next 2 days that I've got a lot of anxiety about. My head is almost useless enough as is today and will likely be worse tomorrow with the worry.

The messages that you sent will show in the Outbox first. They move to "Sent" only after the recipient has read them.

Both my outbox and sent box are empty, so nothing got sent. I will try again a little later on when I'm fully awake.

For a while on Wednesday, I was very much questioning my decision to join, but having more time to think and having a good bit of the anxiety going on ease to a lower level, for now, I'm glad to be part of this. I spent a good bit of time early in the week listening to Spanish music and am surprised at how much better I'm becoming at understanding the lyrics being sung without too many instances of needing to translate into English or feeling like I'm unable to parse the words.

It's taken me many years to get such passive understanding and I hope that activating that will foster further comprehension, along with expression in languages other than my own native one.

Now that is the weirdest thing ever! I did send it - I distinctly remember it being in the outbox and then disappearing from it - and yet I cannot find it in send. Oh well. I wonder if I somehow managed to delete it while it was still in the outbox. And you people trusted me with mod powers???? :lol: :lol: :lol: (I have just sent the second version - not too different from the first version)
