Jos vartuit kotiruualla, ajoit polkupyÃ¶rÃ¤llÃ¤ ilman kypÃ¤rÃ¤Ã¤, sait tukkapÃ¶llyjÃ¤ kun siihen oli aihetta, sinulla oli telkkari jossa oli 3 kanavaa ja jouduit nousemaan sohvalta kanavan vaihtoon, kelasit c-kasetteja lyijykynillÃ¤, kaupat olivat sunnuntaisin kiinni, kukaan ei puhelimessa kysynyt "missÃ¤ muuten olet?". Kopioi seinÃ¤llesi todistaaksesi, ettÃ¤ silti selvisit hengissÃ¤.

Target language: English

If you grew up with home-made food, rode a bicycle without a helmet, were scolded when there was a reason for it, had a 3-channel-TV and had to get up from the couch to change channels, wound cassettes with a pencil, and if stores were closed on Sundays, if nobody asked on the phone "by the way, where are you?", copy this on your wall to testify that even so, you survived.

	Lein จำนวนข้อความ: 3389	'though' doesn't quite seem to fit here. I think 'that even so, you survived' sounds better.

	kleppi จำนวนข้อความ: 11	My original translation was 'that nevertheless, you survived'. Finnish word 'silti' could also be translated as 'anyway' or 'in spite of all'. Both 'that you survived, though' and 'that even so, you survived' mean approximately the same as the finnish text, but the latter preserves also the word order.
