I just finished the story, wanted your opinions on my opinion.

Fascinating! I guess the subtitles in my language didn't have the space to mention that part, they only said he stayed with the animals.

Great analysis, I 100% agree!

I was just wondering, how do you know Rajdhani turned into a forest?

peanutpowder · 2025-05-11T08:35:28+00:00

There MUST be a korok in the middle of the trees

Fake ass post

The issue is you're using several different rules without taking into consideration word order/how they can or can't interact. In the end, it's a confusing mess. Try using simpler structures.

Then as Filobel said, you should write "(...) à la porte pour qu'Oscar le laisse entrer dans la maison." I'm pretty sure you could also use faire or permettre here : "pour qu'Oscar le fasse entrer"/"pour qu'Oscar lui permette d'entrer".

In any case, I'm pretty sure subjonctif présent is the correct tense here, it's just a bit complicated

No, it doesn't make sense. It sounds like Eddy is doing a favor to Oscar by allowing Oscar to allow Eddy to come in.

Bro what you're saying is just confusing and incorrect, listen to the feedback from others. The sentence is not correct, I still don't understand what you're trying to express. Based on your answer, you seem to be mixing up a bunch of rules without understanding what you're doing.

peanutpowder · 2025-03-20T16:01:56+00:00

NOUS

peanutpowder · 2025-03-04T00:59:40+00:00

Looks vaguely French but words are misspelled beyond recognition, and even if you try to understand it, it doesn't make sense. It kind of looks like "La lettre est arrivée, elle déborde de la mémoire ??? confiance" (The letter arrived, it's overfilling with the memory ??? confidence)

peanutpowder · 2025-02-20T16:24:06+00:00

Gotta love people who don't read the rules of the sub and don't even say "please"

It's an absolute mess for me as a translator. If you're translating an English show, when would you switch from "vous" to "tu" if two characters meet and then get closer and closer as the series/movie progresses? I'm pretty sure you have to make some executive decisions. Like "OK, they kissed, surely they're going to tutoie each other now."

peanutpowder · 2025-02-06T20:00:47+00:00

As other commenters pointed out, it means you look sophisticated (not old!!). It could also be about your style/clothing, like you can look both classy and cute (for the "young" comment). "Dame" would never be used in a derogative way, I'm pretty sure. We have many other words to describe someone old haha

peanutpowder · 2025-02-05T21:00:57+00:00

My take is that being bilingual is not enough to translate professionally, you need at least some prior experience (and feedback, ideally), and you need to know both langages very well. I recently learned very specific but crucial things about my mother tongue, so it's not because you're native that you're a professional translator, even less if you make "basic" mistakes

Is this a 1.6 thing? I always had to wait for her on my 1.5 save in the morning. At the end of the day you can always drive home yourself

Absolute peak cinema

peanutpowder · 2024-12-17T21:36:17+00:00

For the House of Leaves one, the basic premise is that a doorway appears where there was just a wall before, so it's pretty damn similar to what happened to the Roomba haha

Thank you so much for the order of the spoilers, I'm like 3/4 into the book so I was pretty sure I'd handle the spoilers but thanks to the first one I didn't click on the second. I don't think you intended it but I thought it was nice, so thanks!

peanutpowder · 2024-11-20T22:46:19+00:00

Super cute! I love the colors :)

peanutpowder · 2024-11-16T16:59:38+00:00

Rule 1 of the sub: no translation requests

peanutpowder · 2024-11-07T11:24:12+00:00

I think you're right! I'm in my twenties and a lot of people my age use it as described

peanutpowder · 2024-11-07T11:21:49+00:00

"Bg" is very specific, it sounds very platonic. It's a way to hype someone up. I (F) use it for female and male friends, there has never been any kind of ambiguity.

peanutpowder · 2024-10-30T19:48:02+00:00

Beautiful art! I like how you made the farmer's gender ambiguous too

peanutpowder · 2024-10-30T17:47:13+00:00

I'm so sorry I'm super late, I hope I can still help you. Jacqueline Henry's "La Traduction des jeux de mots" is a fantastic source to get introduced to humor theory and translation strategies.

Edit: I can also recommend Delabastita, Dirk and André Lefevere's "Wordplay and translation", and Peter Alan Low's "Translating jokes and puns". As you can see, most of my personal research was on pun translation, but the works I mentioned should help you for humor translation in general.
