Remarks about the translation	WEBSÄ°TEM Ä°Ã‡Ä°N ANIM

Title	Four years ago, my friend whose name is Ä°brahim and our families went to Acisu altogether.
Translation English Translated by Ã‡evirmen	Target language: English Four years ago now, my friend whose name is Ä°brahim and our families went to AcÄ±su together. I tasted the brackish water first. My friend Ä°brahim did not want to drink it. However, I cheated on him by saying it was sweet and then my friend Ä°brahim did drink the water but the result was not what he expected. He felt nausea due to the fact that he drank a whole glass in one go and vomited.
Remarks about the translation	AcÄ± su means hard water literally in Turkish but I translated it into raw water since he meant it. The first AcÄ± su refers to the place where raw water comes out. That's way, I used its Turkish name. Note added by English expert: I changed 'raw water' into 'brackish water', which is the way this is said in English. Brackish water is somewhat salty (more salt than sweet water, but not as much as sea water).

	Lein จำนวนข้อความ: 3389	Thanks both! I will change 'is' to 'was' - you're right, that sounds better. As for 'did drink', I think it is better to leave that here to indicate the contrast (first, he wasn't going to drink it, but then he did drink it and this is what happened).
