| piasמספר הודעות: 8113 | Lilly,
this sounds likeb a little bit strange Swedish and according to your bridge.. proposal is:
"Detta fotografi nockar mig, min vän! Vilka modiga killar..." |
| | 3 מרץ 2008 21:06 |
| | Yes Pia, it sounds weird to me too.
I wasn't really sure on how to express that. There's neither a similar expression in Swedish nor in English.
But you understood what I meant by the bridge, didn't you?
The meaning is one of making someone be astonished by an image.
You can edit whatever you want, I'll certainly agree. |
| | 3 מרץ 2008 21:32 |
| piasמספר הודעות: 8113 | Sure..your bridge was good, I got it!
I guess we don't need to set it to the poll, but to be sure.. just a quick voting. |
| | 3 מרץ 2008 21:43 |
| | Just a suggestion!
This picture captivates/captures me. |
| | 3 מרץ 2008 22:03 |
| piasמספר הודעות: 8113 | Lilly, do you agree with pirulito?
In that case we could change it to "fängslar" or "fångar". |
| | 3 מרץ 2008 22:32 |
| | Actually I think I'd rather use: "shocks", "astonishes" than "captivates"
förvånade or häpna would be good, I think.
What about:
jag är häpna av detta fotografi! ...?
|
| | 3 מרץ 2008 22:39 |
| piasמספר הודעות: 8113 | Ok, so you can edit if you like to.
"förvånade" is past tense, "förvånar" is present. |
| | 3 מרץ 2008 22:44 |
| piasמספר הודעות: 8113 | Yes...sure, you can say:
"Jag häpnade över detta fotografi.." (past)
"Jag är häpen över detta fotografi.." (present) |

| piasמספר הודעות: 8113 | Hi Lilly.
Sorry if I nag at you... but I can see that the votes are against you. When looking at your bridge its maybe better to turn the words around a bit and write: "Detta fotografi gör mig häpen, min vän". Or your other suggest: "Detta fotografi förvånar mig, min vän". At the same time I think that "knocks me down" seems to be a much stronger word than "förvånar or "häpen" ... hm, but you are the one who know the meaning of the source.
What do you think of this?

| | Pia:
I don't think "the votes" are against me. I think we are talking about a single vote which I understand as nit picking.
It's not an easy phase to translate. That's why all this discussion is about, but as I said the sense is of "astonished" so I stand on this last version, turning the words around if you wish.
I'm trying to improve my Swedish, but my English and Spanish are good enough to understand the source text and to provide an accurate bridge.
It's up to you, min vän! |
| | 4 מרץ 2008 15:41 |
| piasמספר הודעות: 8113 | Yes, we talking about one single vote..right, but a "heavy one". I know that your English is good and if the Swedish one should be done according to that, I prefer to turn the words around, but still keep your choice of "häpen".
I'll do that.

| piasמספר הודעות: 8113 | Ok.. you were faster here, already done! |
| | 4 מרץ 2008 15:48 |
| | |
| | 4 מרץ 2008 16:51 |
| | "Detta fotografi nockar mig" I voted against it! Sorry
Detta foto gör mig häpen
Jag är häpen över detta foto (present) |
| | 4 מרץ 2008 16:54 |
| | Hi pirulito
I understand that you voted before the editing.
Do you agree now with the final version?
|
| | 4 מרץ 2008 17:18 |
| | Förstås! |
| | 4 מרץ 2008 17:26 |
| piasמספר הודעות: 8113 | Aha...so I guess that your translation is ok. now Lilly. NO vote against. |
