טקסט מקורי - אוקראינית - Він (Ігор Павлюк) автор 20 книг. «Десята планета»...

Hi ramarren,
Is there any conjugated verb in this request?

CC: ramarren

What do you mean?

I mean: does the request respect our submission rule #4?
[4] НИКАКОГО ОДНОГО ИЛИ ОТДЕЛЬНЫХ СЛОВ. Cucumis.org не является словарем и не принимает запросы на перевод одного слова или отдельных слов, если они не образуют законченное предложение, связанное как минимум одним сказуемым

Oh, no... That's the small text...

Now, it's my turn to ask: what do you mean?

I mean that this is not a group of single words but a small text, so it does not violate the rule # 4

But there is no conjugated verb in it, so it still violates the rule #[4].

Maybe if requester added : "these are" to "20 books from the author", this request would be acceptable.

Is it possible to do that ramarren?

Well, if it is not we'll remove this request.

Conjugated verb is usually omitted in Ukrainian and Russian, the same way as pronouns are omitted in Spanish... But the translation into English should contain the verb "He is the author of 20 books. "The Tenth Planet is a childish book"."

Hi ramarren, thanks, it's just too bad I didn't know that before, I wouldn't have removed the request.

I'll reset a request into English then.

So, as I don't know any of these two languages (Ukrainian and Russian), I'll often send you a CC about whether there is an implicite verb, or no verb at all.

You are welcome
