3 April 2007 15:31 | | | menininha, I think that "pring" is actually "price", whcih they will get if they answer correctly the questions about the country they choose | | |
3 April 2007 15:33 | | | Do you mean "prize",franky? | | |
3 April 2007 15:36 | | | But you're right, I had to edit some of this text in oeder for it to be understandable.
One thing I didn't succeed to understand, is that Joe says "don't" after Amanda replied his question about the fact she went to Australia.
I guass this text is an exercise about the interrogative form, and the affirmative one into English, as it is something speciic of this language. Talking about that you may have translated a little bit too literaly these forms, as they are quite different according to respectively English, and Portuguese... | | |
3 April 2007 15:37 | | | No, price, caspertavernello (reward if they win) | | |
3 April 2007 15:44 | | | Price is how costs something.
Prize is rewards.according to wiktionary, but I see is the same word in french, prix.
If we think etymologicly (linguastic word, don't know if it exists) they are actually same word. | | |
3 April 2007 16:04 | | | Yes, but "price" is mentioned in my dictionary as "reward", then "prize" is to be understood at a higher level "reward" (E.G. "Nobel prize"  . When it is relative to a small contest (like radiophonic contest) price is meant as a "small reward"... | | |

Do you mean an English-French dictionary or a monolingual English dictionary?
I noticed another spelling mistake in th English text (3rd line) contry instead of country. | | |
3 April 2007 16:28 | | | Ok.Francky.That's right.
Linguastic! | | |
3 April 2007 16:33 | | | I mean an ol' English-French dictionary, not a monolingual one, it makes the distinction between "prize" and "price" the way I explained it to caspertavernello. It was not even typed "prize "nor "price" originaly, it was typed "pring"...
As I mentioned, it must be an English course exercise for this young fellow who submited the text to translation, in order to learn interrogative and affirmative forms in English... | | |

appleNumber of messages: 972 | Yes, I saw that.
I asked about the dictionary because I just thought that in French is "prix" in both cases. Isn't it? (short interrogatve form " |
