Re: Translate NOW

Bye, thanks for nothing.

A more accurate translation;

Goodbye, [very] many thanks for nothing.

No translator was used, it was just basic Spanish. big_smile

Re: Translate NOW

“Thanks for nothing” in Spanish is gracias por nada, not gracias de nada.

I’d write that as ¡Adiós! Muchas gracias, de nada. “Goodbye! Thanks a lot, it’s all right.”

But I suppose I’m being overly pedantic (as I always am). tongue

I have no idea, but I guess it is partially a humorous cyber-observation...or maybe I put it the wrong way.

I don't know... I thought it would just cause a big uproar or something.

Maybe a 'joke dictionary' should be created. Sort of like an archive, to categorize all jokes posted here. It would be cool, just like the Sharing Your Coded Creations thread I made.

Re: Translate NOW

Okay, since we are on the subject of translation and it’s in the Jokes section, how about translating the following?

¿Por qué cruzó el pollo la calle?
Porque quería llegar al otro lado.

It’s Spanish and it’s a joke! tongue

Re: Translate NOW

Not really funny. Translation;

Why did the chicken cross the road?
To get to the other side.

But a bit of Spanish is good.

Spanish is fun, and speaking and typing in it is even more fun.

Yep. I remember creating a thread about languages and who spoke them. It died down through the forum, but I gathered a lot of information, such as how many people spoke which language, and who, etc...

Re: Translate NOW

Now how about something in French?

Pourquoi le poulet a-t-il traversé la route?
Parce qu’il voulait aller de l’autre côté.

And it’s a joke as well! tongue

Where is that thread? As a language-learner, I am moderately interested.


Actually I never watch Star Wars and not interested in it anyway, but I choose a Yoda card as my avatar in honor of our great friend bobbym who has passed away.
May his adventurous soul rest in peace at heaven.
