Title	Ech, tak patrzÄ™ na Twoje konto. Grasz od samego...
Text Submitted by FIRE FLY	Source language: Polish Ech, tak patrzÄ™ na Twoje konto. Grasz od samego poczÄ…tku i ciÄ…gle jedna osadka, ledwie 250 popa. Nie, Å¼eby sam pop miaÅ‚ wielkie znaczenie, ale fakt, Å¼e grasz tak dÅ‚ugo i masz tak maÅ‚o juÅ¼ coÅ› znaczy.

Title	Ugh, so I look at your account. You play from the same...
Translation English Translated by Shaneeae	Target language: English Ugh, so I look at your account. You have been playing from the very beginning and still one village, scarcely 250 pop. Not that pop alone had great importance, but the fact that you have played for so long and you have so little, already means something.
Remarks about the translation	It seems to be about the online game called Travian. pop = population

	Olesniczanin Number of messages: 73	Shouldn't it be "from the very beginning"?

	Angelus Number of messages: 1227	Yes.. or "You play right from the beginning"...

	Shaneeae Number of messages: 55	OK, but my interpretation was that the speaker was surprised by the lack of progress of the addressee even though they started at the same time. Is that wrong?

	Olesniczanin Number of messages: 73	Hey I think that you were misled by the "sam" word. Even though "sam" may mean "the same", it's not what it means here. It's a popular phrase which is used like that: "od samego poczÄ…tku" - "from the very beginning" "do samego koÅ„ca" - "to the very end" "na samym koÅ„cu" - "at the very end" "na samej gÃ³rze" - "at the very top" etc. Regards, OleÅ›niczanin

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	Hi Shaneeae, "...but the fact that you play so long and you have so little already means something." I think that would sound better as: "...but the fact that you have played for so long and have so little, already means something." What do you think?

	Shaneeae Number of messages: 55	Yes, it would. But I chose not to do it that way to preserve the tense of the original. I can change it if that's a problem.

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	Well...I don't know...it sounds a little wrong to me. Sometimes we have to change the tenses in order to get a "natural" sound to the ears of the native speakers of the target language.

	Shaneeae Number of messages: 55	Alright, I've fixed it.
