According to me you were having quite an argument when we were in touch, but apparently that has worked out?! (don't quite remember what it was about..) |

And contact in Dutch may differ a little from the English use here. Since 'contact hebben' in Dutch describes a contact over a longer period, I would translate it as 'when we were in contact/touch'.
What do you think of something like this?:
I believe you were having quite an argument when we were in touch, but apparently everything worked out? (don't quite remember what it was about..) | | | 6 Oktober 2008 20:14 | | | You're right about the contact, and I guess adding "two" is a bit stupid since I'm yet to meet the first person having an argument with himself.
The translation of the last phrase leans more towards the original as well, I'll edit!
Are you sure you "working out fine" isn't possible? Sounds very OK to me :P
Chantaaaaaal!
CC: Chantal | | | 6 Oktober 2008 20:19 | | | Longman dictionary of contemporary English:
work out: Get better. If a problem or complicated situation works out, it gradually gets better or gets solved: Things will work out, you'll see.
So if something works out, it can't work out 'bad', it will always work out 'fine', therefore there's no need to add the fine, because it is already a positive statement .

Ok, thanks! | | | 6 Oktober 2008 20:29 | | | hehe, you should treat it as your Bible when translating! | | | 6 Oktober 2008 20:32 | | | Actually I do treat it as my Bible! | | | 6 Oktober 2008 20:38 | | | One last thing:
dat is dus wel weer goed gekomen!?
Here it doesn't mean that it happened before and that it is fixed 'again', but more of a 'geruststelling' . Therefore I think the again should be left out in the translation. | | | 6 Oktober 2008 20:40 | | | Edited! (again)
Or why you should never translate alone? | | | 6 Oktober 2008 20:43 | | | | | | 6 Oktober 2008 21:38 | | | That this translation took 3 people
which also means split pot, no? |
