Translation - Turkish-English - gecen...

Hi merdogan,

Apparently these two sentences are not related.

What do you mean by: "How is atmosphere there?"

"What's the weather like, there?" ?

I know that but I think as follows ;

Thema is about racialism in the first line.He/she wants to say "you say I am a racialist. But you are also , how is your atmosphere?"

Handyy, I think we'll need your help here.

Hi

The first part of the sentence [You have accused me of racialism lately] is OK. Second sentence literally means "What's the weather like, there?". But -as far as I understood- what is figuratively meant here is "You have accused me of racialism lately. Well, how about you?". Namely, "you thought that I am a racist. Look at your own situation!".

Oh, I got it!

So, I think we have a proper saying in English.

"You have accused me of racialism lately. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!"

Kafetzou, is that appropriate?

I don't know I think that's a cute idea, but the English expression is stronger than the Turkish one. Also, the word is "racism" in English, not "racialism".

So here's my suggestion:

"You accused me of racism recently. Isn't the shoe now on the other foot?"

Thanks Kafetzou

"racialism" is the British variant of our "racism", I can't say it's wrong

OK merdogan, now you have two suggestions for the expression:

-"Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!"

-"Isn't the shoe now on the other foot?"

Your choice!

thanks for your help....

Yeah, I'd also use 'racism'.

Would you mind if I edit that merdogan?

No, you are our expert.
I only can say thanks.

Apparently "racialism" has another meaning, too - it means the belief that separate races exist!

Hi dolunaysuyu,
You say line 2 is fictitious. What is your offering?

Kafetzou, is this good for validation now?

"uydurulmuÅŸ" does not mean "fictitious" here! I kind of agree with Dolunay - as I said above, the phrase you've chosen is a bit too strong for this situation. But it's close enough, so I would say you could pass it.
