So, you can edit if the meaning is fine. |
| | 28 Maio 2008 19:47 |
| | Done! |

| piasNúmero de Mensagens: 8113 | I think that your translation is right Lilian, (I trust you) but since my Spanish=0, we better ask the poll too. |
| | 28 Maio 2008 21:18 |
| | Of course! |

| goncinNúmero de Mensagens: 3706 | Is it only my impression, or you translated the sentence putting the verb in the infinitive, lilian? It seems to me the verb in the original text is in the past tense, and some accents are missing: "en chile estudié enfermerÃa a nivel superior". |
| | 28 Maio 2008 21:49 |
| piasNúmero de Mensagens: 8113 | Hm ...maybe you shall write "Studerade vid..." if this is past tense. ? |
| | 28 Maio 2008 22:07 |
| | I translated it into imperative, actually.
I was also in doubt about the exact meaning, that's what happens when a text in the request lacks diacritics. What made me decide about the tense was that in Spanish if it was past tense it should have probably been "he estudiado", but of course we can't count that the writer would use the correct tense.
I think we could write the alternative translation in the remarks. And, of course set it as "meaning only"
What do you think? |

| piasNúmero de Mensagens: 8113 | Sounds good to me. |

| | Isn't "nivel superior" a "university level" or something like that? |
| | 29 Maio 2008 15:27 |
| piasNúmero de Mensagens: 8113 | Lilian,
I can see that your votes are positive but what about Caspers question ? |
| | 29 Maio 2008 16:20 |
| | Yes, "a nivel superior" means at university level. |
| | 29 Maio 2008 16:28 |
| piasNúmero de Mensagens: 8113 | Stupid question now ...but
Is it better then to write: "Studera till sjuksköterska på universitetsnivå i Chile."
Is that the meaning? |
| | 29 Maio 2008 17:11 |
| | I'd rather leave it as is. I think using "high level" conveys the meaning better. |
| | 29 Maio 2008 17:37 |
| piasNúmero de Mensagens: 8113 | That's ok! I feel a bit like I am hunting you Lilian, but since I don't understand Spanish as you know ..I have to ask all this questions.
|
| | 29 Maio 2008 17:54 |
| piasNúmero de Mensagens: 8113 | Ooops, I saw something now, we are Not using "high level" in the text.
förstklassig = first-class
hög nivå = high level
But I agree with you to leave it as it is.

| | Remember my first translation?
It was:
"Studera hög stånd sjuksöterskeskola i Chile" |
| | 29 Maio 2008 18:15 |
| piasNúmero de Mensagens: 8113 | Yes, but you can't write like that...
"Studera på hög nivå vid sjuksköterskeskola i Chile"
Better? |
| | 29 Maio 2008 18:32 |
| piasNúmero de Mensagens: 8113 | Lilian,
is the meaning here that the school is a "first class school" or that the studies are at high level (like university) ?
I don't get it, sorry! |
| | 29 Maio 2008 18:41 |
| | the studies are at high level |
| | 29 Maio 2008 18:55 |
| piasNúmero de Mensagens: 8113 | Ok
So my suggest is that we start a new poll now, since the meaning is different after your edits.
I'll do that!
I wonder why so many people voted positive.. |
