Traducción - Japonés-Inglés - urusai dattebayoEstado actual Traducción
 Esta petición de traducción es "sólo el significado" | | | Idioma de origen: Japonés
-urusai dattebayo
-dattebayo desu ka.. | Nota acerca de la traducción | Durante uma conversa no msn, um colega de trabalho me mandou estas duas frases |
|
| | | Idioma de destino: Inglés
- I telled you, shut up!
- "telled"? | Nota acerca de la traducción | The literal meaning is:
I told you already, you're NOISY!
"dattebayo"? That's a strange expression...
---
The usual expression is just "datte-ba" which means "I TOLD you, ..." and it's not usually used with the particle "yo" at the end (which is a kind of "verbal exclamation point").
So Speaker #2 is making fun of the expression used by Speaker #1, by repeating the strange expression "datte-ba-YO" with the "verbal question mark":
...desu ka?
---
The English translation is an attempt to give the "feel" of the mocking tone of Speaker #2, who is making fun of the WAY Speaker #1 has told him to shut up, and IGNORING his MESSAGE. (Good idea from Lilian Canale! ^_^ ) |

This request is a bit confusing and the experts for the other languages are having problems to evaluate the translations since they seem to be based on yours.
For what I understood from your remarks, we have a word game here. I think the word which should be important for the second person to mock the first is that "told".
Could your version be:
"- I teld you you were noisy!
- teld ehm?"
What do you think?

Sure, that seems to me to be a good conceptual/linguistic equivalent in English, which suitably conveys the "teasing" in the original text.
I don't suppose we have to stick to the actual Japanese expression here; the important fact is that Speaker #1 (perhaps not a native speaker) is using a strange expression ("datte-ba-YO" ), and Speaker #2 is ignoring his message, and making fun of the way he tried to communicate it... 
Usually people in Japan are not impolite like this, though...) | | |

I think "telled" would be even better. 
Thanks Ian.  | | |
