FUBAR - 2022

[dEhiN]

Ah, good. I considered writing him on Whatsapp, but I guess that's not necessary then.

Or, we all spam him!

[dEhiN]

I decided that my translation isn't going to get any better, so I just sent it to linguoboy and Rí.na.dTeangacha.

Oh shoot, in all the back and forth about Rí, I forgot to ask, how did you find my ON translation?

[kevin]

Relatively hard, to be honest. There were some words that I couldn't really find anywhere, so I took a guess which words they could be spellling variations (or typos) of, and for the mediopassive verb forms the meaning was more a guess, too, because I couldn't find translations that worked in the context. So these are not too unlikely to introduce errors.

Oh, and I hope that what I interpreted as a negation suffix was really meant as one, otherwise the result will be the opposite of what was intended....

[vijayjohn]

Good news, everyone! Ciarán finally got back to me. He no longer has COVID. He's just been swamped at work lately.

[Osias]

He told me the same but I said nothing here because he also said he would post something himself.

[vijayjohn]

Oh, okay!

[kevin]

Where are we in the chain? Is linguoboy still working on the text?

[vijayjohn]

Wait, did you send it off to him?

EDIT: Oh, yes, of course you did! What was I thinking...?
EDIT2: Oh, and the next person in the chain is me. I certainly haven't gotten anything yet.

Has it been 10 or 15 days or whatever? If so, do you want to message him and see?

[vijayjohn]

It's been 16 days. I can message him if you like.

And why isn't Rí editing the first post anymore? Can we ask an admin to edit it on his behalf?

[vijayjohn]

And why isn't Rí editing the first post anymore?

Because he's swamped at work and hasn't even logged on in over a month

[Naava]

Can we ask an admin to edit it on his behalf?

I could do that if you guys want to. Am I right that linguoboy is now translating from Latin to Haitian Creole? Is it still his turn or has he forwarded his text to vijayjohn?

[vijayjohn]

I guess it's still his because I certainly haven't gotten anything in my inbox.

If you're ok with it, could you also remove "księżycowy (Latin -> Tibetan)"? Thanks!

[OldBoring]

OK so the admins edited the first post, but I think linguoboy is translating from Latin to Haitian Creole, amirite?

Fixed that! I'll keep an eye on the thread and update the first post until Rí comes back.

Thanks Naava! You'll have to join our game the next time we play as well! Also, we're almost halfway through the chain.

[azhong]

I'd also like to ask the same question Oldboring has asked:

...I think linguoboy is translating from Latin to Haitian Creole, amirite?

I guess Latin (or any other language) should be not so difficult for linguoboy that he has to spend so many days? And, based on us receiving no explanation for the delay--

...

linguoboy, I'm worrying more in if you have any emotional discomforts for the suffering, the sudden change of your source language. Do you? (I hope you don't; it's just a game for language practice, anyway.)
Or does Latin just happen to be your Archilles heel?

[linguoboy]

Am I up? Nobody ever sent me a text to translate.
