pias, what is a free distribution ?

CC: kafetzou

Hi,
free distribution= (leaflets, flyers, free paper) the 'junk' mail you recieve in your mailbox or
when you recieve advertise for a new product/service.

They're called advertising flyers.

I've edited the English, but it sounds awkward, because pizza advertisements would be included in advertising flyers, wouldn't they? Also, why "cheers"? I changed that to "thank you".

Hi Kafetzou,
yes I think you are right about that pizza advertisements would be included in advertising flyers, but..since this person that asked for this translation is writing in the notes that he wants to to get rid of the PIZZA advertisements that gets delivered to his mailbox...I don't know how to get that clear???

About 'cheers',I thought that cheers is just another way (informal; british english)to say thank you...
am I complete wrong about this?

Is it possible to write like this:
No advertising flyers (Included pizza), thank you!

What do you think Kafetzou?

After re-reading it, I think it's OK. "Cheers" does mean "thank you", but it's used when you want to be very informal, friendly, even affectionate. It's inappropriate when you're telling someone to go away (effectively).

Ok...Verry good to know the difference between cheers and thank you
CHEERS for the 'lesson'.

(Maybe you not get notifications about this translation any more..since it's done, but I will ask you anyway)

What about the word 'thanks', Is that a more everyday expression for thank you?..less formal,
but still a more formal word than cheers?

Sorry Kafetzou...many questions here for you, but
it would be nice to know

Thanks for the English translation. You understood correctly - pizza advertisements would be included in advertising flyers but the local pizzerias seem to ignore my sign completely. The multilingual sign will be of serious matter (saving the nature) with a touch of humour.

I think that somethong like "free distribution" might be more correct here than "advertisement flyers" since in addition to pure advertisements I also want to ban the weekly free newspapers.

ljon, maybe (?) you should put up a sign telling:
'The dog will bite you if you put any junk mail here! ...grrr'

We don't have the term "free distribution" in English, so that won't be understood. As Pia says, the usual sign here is "No junk mail please".
