Teach me your language I teach you mine

[Lina5]

Thank you guys for answering and thank you moderators for putting this in an appropriate theme.

The thing is that I have to translate from my mother tongue into English: it says: place, 25. 5. 2006,
but I am not exactly sure how you guys would write this, so that it would be somewhat similar to our habits, but still something that is used in your countries of course.

 

[gius]

Is your question answered already, Lina5^?

I have a question about French...
How do I say "far right"?
For example The girl at the far right wears a red dress
(speaking of a picture/photo)

La fille à _____ droîte porte une robe rouge

????

 

[sill]

^ i'm not french.. but maybe fond?
i could be really wrong though

 

[Kate_Moore]

^^ Maybe I can help.
Far is translated to French as "loin" but I guess you want to know the girl in the right corner or the girl which is totally in the right side. So I guess the sentence would be " La fille au coin droit porte une robe rouge"

 

[La bordélique]

gius I'd say "située complètement à droite".

 

[seanutbutter]

I need some homework help involving German, Russian, and French, please! If you speak any of those languages, please translate this sentence for me: "War of the Worlds radio broadcast frightens listeners."

I'm learning Russian and have a rough idea of what it may be in that language, but I'd like a perfect answer. It's for a newspaper headline, if that helps.

I'd like the answers ASAP, please!

 

[seanutbutter]

Never mind, I've got it all figured out now.

 

[BerlinRocks]

gius I'd say "située complètement à droite".

this is good... but a bit familiar....
but it's ok...

you can say, too :
La fille située à l'extrême droite de la photo (...)

"War of the Worlds radio broadcast frightens listeners."

L'émission radiophonique (or l'émission de radio) La guerre des Mondes terrorisent (or fait peur aux) les auditeurs.

p.s : aux = à les ... so do not write fait peur aux les auditeurs. but just aux auditeurs....

I have something to ask for danish people.... or any scandinavian who could help me a little to understand this danish text....

Bygningen, som i dag huser GL. STRAND, har med få undtagelser været fastholdt i en fysisk, arkitektonisk permanens siden sin opførelse i 1750. Dette både i sit eks- og interiør. Bygningens udstillingsdel er fordelt på tre etagedæk, forbundet af den originale trappeopgang og en moderne elevator. Beliggende på tredie sal indføjer Salen sig som et selvstændigt, afgrænset rum med sydøstvendt vinduesparti.

Salens arkitektur er i metaforisk forstand fastfrosset/stivnet og fremstår som en historisk lomme i tid og rum. Kun solens penetration af rummets vinduer skifter og transformerer ubønhørligt rummet med sin fluktuerende og uforudsigelige intensitet. Netop dette forhold mellem det fikserede statiske rum, Salen, og solen som en transformatorisk tidsfaktor er i vores optik en yderst interessant konstellation.

Dette forhold er et af udgangspunkterne for Double Exposure, der på et formmæssigt plan manifesterer sig i tre fritstående lysmoduler, der i første omgang udgør en principiel formmæssig spejling af de tre eksisterende vinduespartier i Salen. Alle vinduesglas inklusiv lysmodulerne er beklædt med en semitransparent transluscent film, der diffuserer lyset og slører for et direkte udsyn. En lysfølsom sensor registrerer og måler kontinuerligt det udefra kommende sollys' intensitet og farvetemperatur. Målingerne bliver fortløbende sendt til en computer, der i realtid videresender de indkomne informationer til de tre lysmoduler, som simulerer sollysets intensitet og temperatur.

Denne subtile forskydning trækker en bevidst tråd til maleren Vilhelm Hammershøis interiørmalerier, som på et parallelt plan netop arbejder med betragterens møde med (maleriets) rumlige repræsentationer. Hammershøi etablerer i en række af sine malerier en lignende opløsning af rumforløb med brug af lysindfald, som i samme punkt udvider rummet med et potent forestillingsrum og ophæver rummets forankring til et konkret sted.

Double Exposure bygger således bl.a på erfaringerne fra Hammershøis arkitektoniske miljøer. Via den direkte korrespondance mellem de tre "originale" lysindfald og de tre spejlede udgaver af samme bliver det dobbeltrepræsenterede sollys til et instrument for etableringen af et rum situeret i en dobbelttid, og det er i relationerne mellem arkitekturen, det perciperende subjekt og det dobbelteksponerede sollys at værket artikuleres.

the text comes from there :

thanks in advance.

Could someone translate this instruction? It's Swedish:

Okej, nu är den klar (dock lite lång kanske, ska nog lägga upp den), så här langar jag en beskrivning på denna mycket, mycket lättsydda kjol. Jag är till och med så pedagogisk att jag visar bilder på hela proceduren. Eller ja, det är väl mest för att jag ska slippa skriva lika mycket
1. Två rektangelformade tygbitar i stel bomullsväv. 100x42 passar till dej med midja 60 cm och vill ha den 36 cm lång när den är klar (bredden ska vara önskad längd + 6 cm).
2. Lägg ihop de två tygbitarna.
3. Sy raksöm 1 cm frånkanten i båda kortsidorna. Nu borde tygbitarna sitta ihop. Om du har gjort rätt vill säga.

4. Sicksacka eller overlocka ihop kanterna och runt om hela överkanten.
5. Nu ska du göra en kanal upptill som resåren sedan ska sitta i. Vik ned 4 cm av överkanten och nåla. Gör det här längs heeela långa överkanten.
6. När du är klar med det borde den se ut såhär.
7. Stryk lite, så blir det lättare att sy sen.
8. Sy runt om hela överkanten, ungefär en halv centimeter från kanten.
9. Nu ska du göra en dubbelfåll (eller vad det nu heter) nedtill. Det gör att kjolen blir mer "vippig". Börja med att vik upp en centimeter.
10. Och så en centimeter till, så att den klippta kanten nu ligger under om ni förstår vad jag menar.
11. Nåla vettja! Så ska du göra längs heeela långa nederkanten.
12. Stryk lite.
13. Sy raksöm runt hela nederkanten.
14. Nu ska du sprätta upp insidan av den övre fållen, mitt på kanalen, i sidan liksom. Gör det på den sidan som sedan kommer att vara inåt. Sprätta så att du får in ett resårband.
15. Sätt på en säkerhetnål på resåbandet och trä in det. Sedan ska du trä det runt i hela kanalen så att det kommer ut i samma hål igen. Då kan du sy ihop det.
16. Nu borde den se ut såhär! Fixa till rynkorna så att dom hamnar jämnt.
17. Sy ihop ingångshålet i kanalen för hand. Improvisera lite bara, det kommer ju ändå inte synas sen. Det viktigaste är att det håller ihop.
18. Stryk kjolen lite och klipp bort eventuella trådar, sen - voila! Klar!

I know it's a lot to translate but the online translator is crap and I'd really love to sew this skirt

 

[notmanons]

who speaks russian?!?!?!

U NEED HELP ASAP.

-Bedroom
-Toilet
-Dining Room
-Sitting Room
-Kitchen
-Balcony/Garden

In russian! please.

 

[seanutbutter]

I'm pretty sure these are correct. If not, please make necessary changes!

Bedroom - Спальня (spal'nya)
Toilet - Туалет (tualet)
Dining room - Столовая (stolovaya)
Kitchen - Кухня (kukhnya)
Balcony - Балкон (balkon)
Garden - Сад (sad)

I don't know about sitting room, sorry.

 

[god_save_hedi]

seanutbutter
correct!
Kushie
what do you mean by sitting room? if it is what i think it is then гостиная (originated from guest room but has another meaning)

sometimes i would avoid saying столовая for dining room. it is a correct translation BUT if you're speaking of a room in your house then it's not столовая. in russia 99% of people eat in a kitchen, no special room. when we say столовая we usually mean the dining room in a college campus, working building or such. and actually i dont think we have a word for a room in your house where you eat, at least i do have this kind of room but i call it kitchen.

if you like you can add me on gtalk or any other msging service and i'll help you with your studies.

 

[god_save_hedi]

i reconsidered my last statement lol
you can call столовая any dining room.

laurette, here's your translation, the words that are bold are words that maybe are not the exact match:

Okay, now it's done (although a little long perhaps, i'll hem it), so here I'll pass a description on this very, very easy made skirt. I'm even so pedagogy that i'll show pictures of the whole procedure. Or well, it's mostly so I won't have to write as much

1. Two rectangle shaped bits of fabric in stiff cottonweave. 100x42(cm) will fit you with the waist at 60 cm and wants it 36 cm long when it's done (the width will be wished length + 6 cm).
2. Put together the two fabrics.
3. Sew with straightseam(normal seam) 1 cm from the edge of both shortsides. If you've done right that will say.
4. Zig-zag or overlock the edges together and around the whole overedge.
5. Now you're going to do a channel at the top where the coil will be in later.
Fold down 4 cm of the overedge and pin it.
6. When you're done with that, it should look like this.
7. Iron it since it'll be easier to sew later.
8. Sew around the whole overedge, about ½ cm from the edge.
9. Now you're going to do a doublehem (or what it's called) on the lower part. It'll make the skirt more "flowy". Start with folding it up 1 cm.
10. And then 1 cm more, so that the cut edge now will lay under if you understand what i mean.
11. Why don't you pin! That's what you'll do the whole long lowerpart.
12. Iron some.
13. Sew with straightseam around the whole lowerpart.
14. Now you'll slit open the inside of the upper hem, in the middle of the channel, at the side. Do it on the side that will later be inwards. Slit it so you'll fit the coilband.
15. Put on a safetypin on the coilband and slip it in. Then you'll slip it around the whole channel so that it'll come out in the same hole you put it in. Then you'll sew it together.
16. Now it should look like this! Fix the wrinkles so that they're even.
17. Sew the income hole of the channel by hand. Improvise just a little, it wont show later anyways. The most important thing is that it wont break.
18. Iron the skirt a little bit and cut out eventual threads, then - voila! Done!
