So, you can edit if the meaning is fine. |
| | 28 May 2008 19:47 |
| | Done! |

| piasNumber of messages: 8113 | I think that your translation is right Lilian, (I trust you) but since my Spanish=0, we better ask the poll too. |
| | 28 May 2008 21:18 |
| | Of course! |

| goncinNumber of messages: 3706 | Is it only my impression, or you translated the sentence putting the verb in the infinitive, lilian? It seems to me the verb in the original text is in the past tense, and some accents are missing: "en chile estudié enfermerÃa a nivel superior". |

| piasNumber of messages: 8113 | Hm ...maybe you shall write "Studerade vid..." if this is past tense. ? |
| | 28 May 2008 22:07 |
| | I translated it into imperative, actually.
I was also in doubt about the exact meaning, that's what happens when a text in the request lacks diacritics. What made me decide about the tense was that in Spanish if it was past tense it should have probably been "he estudiado", but of course we can't count that the writer would use the correct tense.
I think we could write the alternative translation in the remarks. And, of course set it as "meaning only"
What do you think? |

| | Isn't "nivel superior" a "university level" or something like that? |

| piasNumber of messages: 8113 | Lilian,
I can see that your votes are positive but what about Caspers question ? |
| | 29 May 2008 16:20 |
| | Yes, "a nivel superior" means at university level. |
| | 29 May 2008 16:28 |
| piasNumber of messages: 8113 | Stupid question now ...but
Is it better then to write: "Studera till sjuksköterska på universitetsnivå i Chile."
Is that the meaning? |
| | 29 May 2008 17:11 |
| | I'd rather leave it as is. I think using "high level" conveys the meaning better. |
| | 29 May 2008 17:37 |
| piasNumber of messages: 8113 | That's ok! I feel a bit like I am hunting you Lilian, but since I don't understand Spanish as you know ..I have to ask all this questions.
|

| piasNumber of messages: 8113 | Ooops, I saw something now, we are Not using "high level" in the text.
förstklassig = first-class
hög nivå = high level
But I agree with you to leave it as it is.

| | Remember my first translation?
It was:
"Studera hög stånd sjuksöterskeskola i Chile" |
| | 29 May 2008 18:15 |
| piasNumber of messages: 8113 | Yes, but you can't write like that...
"Studera på hög nivå vid sjuksköterskeskola i Chile"
Better? |
| | 29 May 2008 18:32 |
| piasNumber of messages: 8113 | Lilian,
is the meaning here that the school is a "first class school" or that the studies are at high level (like university) ?
I don't get it, sorry! |
| | 29 May 2008 18:41 |
| | the studies are at high level |
| | 29 May 2008 18:55 |
| piasNumber of messages: 8113 | Ok
So my suggest is that we start a new poll now, since the meaning is different after your edits.
I'll do that!
I wonder why so many people voted positive.. |
