Remarks about the translation	original text: ieshli jabera jadasha ken, jaabera tobaa abal, iafa? kaja kaja lo iodea abal.. ani lo rotze ieshli aji tov babait

Title	girlfriend
Translation Engels Translated by jairhaas	Target language: Engels I have a new girlfriend. A nice girlfriend, indeed, but pretty? Not really. Don't know, but...I don't want this. I feel best at home.
Remarks about the translation	The sentence ×™×© ×œ×™ ×”×›×™ ×˜×•×‘ ×‘×‘×™×ª (I feel best at home) is open to different interpretations.Literally it says: "I have the best at home". 'I don't want this' - no clue is given as to what the person doesn't want.

	Lein Number of messages: 3389	Hi Jair 'I don't want' seems incomplete - any idea what it is the writer doesn't want? - I don't want it (leaves it vague) - I don't want her - I don't want to go out - something else? Thanks!

	jairhaas Number of messages: 261	Hi Lein, there is no way of knowing that. The sentence is incomplete, and we must therefore translate it as that, otherwise we would be engaging in guesswork. Maybe the writer trusts his intended reader to decipher his intention

	Lein Number of messages: 3389	OK, fair enough. Could you explain in the comments also, which sentence in English corresponds to the one in Hebrew that is open to different interpretations? (And, if needed, what interpretations they are?) Thanks!

	jairhaas Number of messages: 261	The sentence I translated as "I feel best at home" - literally it says: "I have the best at home",which could be interpreted in a thousand ways. The whole text is written by someone not meticulous in expressing himself clearly.

	milkman Number of messages: 773	I would change to "I don't want this" which is general enough, and then vote 'YES'
