Translation Game

Postby Ektoras » 2014-08-30, 8:57

Hello all!

I can't believe that the Arabic forum doesn't have this! Would anyone be interested in a translation game? :-]

The rules are:

1. You will translate the (English) sentence that the previous person has given, into Arabic.
2. You have to use MSA. You can include a dialect if you wish, but the MSA version has to be there.
3. If possible, write the Arabic sentence in the Arabic script and include a Latin transcription for the students to know how to read an unknown word. That would be cool. Alternatively, you can go ahead and use accent marks on the Arabic script, too.
4. Write a random English sentence for the next person to work on.

For starters, I'm giving an English sentence for the next person to translate into Arabic:

I love this game.

(I think it should be آمل أن يكون لنا لاعبون كثيرون)

إنَّ العشبَ في هذه الحديقةِ أكثرُ خضرةً.
(I think this is how it should be said, usually comparatives are formed using the أفعل form but أخضر green is already of this form)

I'm glad I can finally practice my Arabic a little 8-)

أنا سعيد لقد استطعت في النهاية أن اتدرب على اللغة العربية قليلاً.

I can drive a truck.

أمكنُ أن أقودَ شاحنةً.

(I think it might need to be أنا سعيد لأنني استطعت أخيرًا..., but I'm not a native speaker so I can't be sure about these idioms).

It's getting late, let's go home.

هل سبق لك أن رأيت فيلاً طائراً؟

I didn't even know what a flying elephant was.

انا نفسي لست سورياً، ولكن هناك الكثير من السوريين يعيشون في بلدي

Even if I were blind, I would still crave books.
Please correct my mistakes in any language.
