Title	Non hanno ricevuto la prenotazone ...
Text Submitted by stefola90	Source language: Italian Non hanno ricevuto la prenotazone e ci hanno messe in un capannone. In bagno c'erano lampade e fili per terra sparsi ovunque; fare la doccia era come tentare il suicidio. Poi la penultima sera quando siamo tornate ci avevano incasinato le nostre cose e c'Ã¨ stata una gran litigata col personale. vabe', fortunatamente poi siamo arrivate da te. Siamo tornate ed Ã¨ stato traumatico, qua fa veramente troppo caldo! PerÃ² eravamo in giro da troppo tempo.
Remarks about the translation	USA

Title	They didn't receive our reservation
Translation English Translated by olympia hendricks	Target language: English They didn't receive our reservation and they put us up in a cabin. In the bathroom, there were lamps and wires strewn all over the floor; taking a shower was like trying to commit suicide. Then, on the evening before last, when we came back, our things had been messed with and there was this huge fight with the personel. Never mind...luckily, we arrived at your place. We went back and it was traumatic: it is really overly hot here! But we had been on the go for far too long.
Remarks about the translation	RE: slang translation: our things had been "messed with", "messed around with".

Fortunately, then we arrived at your place" I'm not sure, but maybe instead of: "on the evening before last" would be better: "on the next to last evening" My best regards!

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	I wouldn't change the rest, my doubt was about 'vabÃ©'.

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	Hi guys, Could you confirm the translation (and meaning) of that "vabÃ©"? CC: Efylove Xini

	Efylove Number of messages: 1015	"Never mind" is better (because vabÃ© = va bene).

	olympia hendricks Number of messages: 6	The 3 dots were brilliant Lilian and the outcome is more in keeping with the slangy tone of the original! That's the trouble with these messages, they are spoken not really written material so tone acquires meaning....LOL Good enough hey! "Vabe" is loaded with subtle different meanings depending on the tone. It can be dismissive (never mind) or admissive ("Ok", "granted" which is too "pompous" for the occasion!) Having fun here girls! Good talking to you!
