Nessun giocatore italiano (no italian players?)

[Fusky]

C'è qualche altro giocatore italiano qui? :-)
E tra questi, qualcuno che voglia iniziare un gruppo italiano?

Let me try my hand at this then...
It is not mockery of the language, just me trying my hand at translating something I have preciously little training in. An object of fascination as it is...

Nessun ... Nessun Dorma would give this is "Boy or Person"?
Giocatore? Actor ... Italiano at the least gives itself.

C'è ... me? I? qualche *hmm* I'd guess on "Wonder" altro "our" giocatore italiano "italian players" qui "are" ?
E tra questi .. it is my quest? quacuno che voglia inziare un grupo italiano.
gruppo ~ Swedish Grupp and English group. Initiare ~ Swedish Initiera = Eng Initiate / Start .

"It is my quest to start a group of italian players" ?

Feel free to mock me now. :)

[Hamish]

Hehehe, okay, this is fun. I'll have a go as well.... May have a bit of an edge, I've had a couple of years of French lessons. Involuntarily I must add.

Nessun - Aren't there
giocatore - player
italiano - Italian

C'è - are there
qualche - any (?)
altro - other
giocatore - players
italiano - Italian
qui? - here? (?)

E tra questi - It's my goal
qualcuno che voglia - (absolutely no ideas here... I'm curious)
iniziare - to start
un gruppo - a group
italiano - Italian

[Mellock]

qualcuno. che. voglia.
someone.that.wants.

So it kind of becomes:
"Are there any other Italian players out here?
And among those, are there any that want to start an Italian group?"

I think. I could have missed a part where he wanted to put eggs in my socks.

[Fusky]

Ok, let's joke :-)

Translation votes:

Oberoten: F (the kid is intelligent but he don't apply on the subject)
Hamish: D- (so and so)
Mellock: A (perfect translation)

[Hamish]

*wonders where Mellock learned to speak Italian, or if he used an online translator*

[Mellock]

Blind luck. :)

*grins* Admittedly I looked more at it as an example to myself and others why languages tend to be one of the more important skills in any detective style adventure. If you try to fnd a translation with an incomplete knowledge or worse no knowledge at all....

Another translation play :

Finns det några fler Italienska spelare där ute?
I sådant fall, finns det några av dem som är intresserade av att starta en Italiensk grupp?

[Mellock]

Hmm...
Finns det några fler Italienska spelare där ute?

Allrighty...
Italienska is obvious.
spelara must be similar to Dutch "speler" or German Spieler.
dar ute sounds like "there out", so that will become "out there"
Finns is phonetically much like "find". that may mean that "det" means "you", since verbs and subjects easily pair up. Nagra and fler are a bit of guesswork, but at least Nagra is repeated in the next sentence, and fler may come from context, so that'll work out allright, I hope.

I sadant fall... is an odd combination to have in front of a comma. that means it is either a complete sentence on its own, or an expression. I'm going with the expression, and it's phonetically a lot like "In. such. geval, meaning "In such case", more freely translated, "in that case", or "in any case". i'll see which one I like better later.

Intresserade seems pretty obvious: "interested".
av at startta en Italiensk grupp seems obvious enough also. "to start an italian group". But there's an extra word there. So what's that? Small words are often prepositions and such... and we've had a verb already... So i'm taking my chances that I'm not losing any important information with leaving that out. That leaves "nagra" and "fler" without much context really. But what words can they be? Nagra sounds like Negro, which means black in Spanish, but you're from Sweden, and Swedish is more of a Germanic language. Negro doesn't make sense, it would me more Romanic, yours would sound more like "swarch" or "zwart", I bet. (heh, I suddenly recall a tale about "svartalfar". Did you guys invent the Drow?) I'm going with something less specific. Like "a lot" or "some" or "any". (you're too smart to use pleonasms, I bet, although i'm not sure if there are a lot of idiomatic expressions in Swedish) And "Finns" was already my verb "to find" from the previous sentence. The "ar" must be from "to be interested"

Allright, so what do I have?

"Did you find some Italian players out there?
In that case, did you find any of them that are interested in starting an Italian group?"

Am I lucky again?

Now see what happens when you butter him up?

That would be corret. Spelare comes from the germanic Spieler. 1pt.



dar ute sounds like "there out", so that will become "out there"

That is also correct. 1pt as well.



Finns is phonetically much like "find". that may mean that "det" means "you", since verbs and subjects easily pair up.

Alas, "finns" is the Swedish equivalent of "is" and this throws the reasoning of track. 0pt.

Heh... Svartalfar are not exactly drow. They are more like... the small and unfortunate and not very clean cousins of the Orcs... Snaga maybe?

"Några fler" is indeed "Any more" 1pt.
Sorry there is no points for flattery though.
är ~ is 0pt.




Allright, so what do I have?


"Did you find some Italian players out there?
In that case, did you find any of them that are interested in starting an Italian group?"

Am I lucky again?

But, yes I am actually impressed. A- for the slight failures, but all stemmed from the same misstake initially. Sound reasoning all the way through.

As the saying goes. Close but no cigarr. I just translated Fusky's initial question to Swedish actually. (Oh and sorry about hijacking your thread Fusky... Think of it as bumping in several languages? )

Eccomi in caso tu stia ancora cercando giocatori italiani, ho comprato ieri il programma
