Due to the replacement of
the main sewer pipes: in the basement do not use the shower, toilet, sink or kitchen sink the work is expected to be finished at 4:00 PM
kind regards the plumber | Remarks about the translation | My guess is that the original text goes like this: "Grundet udskifting af faldstammer i kælder må De ikke bruge bad, wc, vask og køkkenvask. Arbejdet forventes færdigt kl 1600
mvh blikkenslageren" |

Can I change
draught tubes
to
water pipes
or
plumbing pipes
?  | | |
22 Tháng 10 2007 10:09 | | | Hi Ian,
Webster´s dictionary says that a "faldstamme" = draft tube, draught tube, soil pipe, soil stack.
(In a plumbing system, it´s the drainage pipe that carries or is designed to carry human excrement) | | |
22 Tháng 10 2007 11:59 | | | faldstamme means "main sewer pipe". The collector pipe for the entire building / house. I'm 100 % sure, because designing HVAC and sewerage for houses is what I do for a living 
| | |
22 Tháng 10 2007 12:03 | | | lepurica: In Danish, it is in the plural (faldstammer) so do you think it should be kept in the plural in English as well (main sewer pipes)? | | |
22 Tháng 10 2007 12:27 | | | yeap, you are right. I just gave the definition for "faldstamme"... But thanks for mentioning it, it is absolutely correct. | | |
22 Tháng 10 2007 12:53 | | | why did you (I didn´t see who it was) change "kind regards" to "regards"? "med venlig hilsen" = with kind regards (that would be the direct translation) | | |
22 Tháng 10 2007 14:01 | | | Not me, I am innocent... | | |
22 Tháng 10 2007 14:12 | | | Ok, I guess that leaves us with Ian! :-) | | |
22 Tháng 10 2007 22:47 | | | Yup, I am the guilty party! 
With such a short note from the plumber, we usually wouldn't use the word "kind" here: it would be insincere anyway...
But if you prefer the direct translation, I can put it back in for you!
Anyway, the text meaning is perfect, so I'll validate it now! Thanks everybody! |
