I think you're right about "gittiÄŸi saniye bitmiÅŸtir" kfeto , but still the stresses are not in correct places

Humm, je ne lis pas encore le turc. Mais si l'on considere que la traduction anglaise 'He's left, the moment has ended, it's over, I didn't lose him, he lost me.' est correcte, d'ailleurs elle sonne bien, alors il faudrait revoir la version francaise proposée et simplement changer 'la seconde est finie, est partie' par 'le temps s'est écoulé, il/elle est partie'. Et la version espagnole serait plus jolie en remplaçant 'SE HA TERMINADO EL SEGUNDO' par 'se acabo el tiempo'.
Avec tout ça, on s'eloigne peut etre de la version originale.

Io scriverebbe cosí: "Lui ha lasciato, il momento ha finito. É finito. Non l´ho perso. Lui mi ha perso"

"the moment has ended, it is over" doesn't seem correct..)and it doesn't give the same meaning with the original one.. )

Hi all

Smy - I'm sorry but your literal translation does not convey the slightest meaning in English.

I will ask Kafetzou to come and help out here, she has more ease with Turkish than I do

I feel like I'm going round and round in circles with this one


CC: kafetzou

maybe:

The one who left, has left, the second she/he left, has passed. I did not lose /her/him, rather she/he lost me.

I think it's supposed to be poetic:

He's gone.
The moment he left is over.
I didn't lose him - he lost me.

(could also be she)

I'd prefer to keep 'he's gone...' .
Tantine, why do you prefer 'he's left...'?

That's my opinion: ''he/she is gone, the second it's over, he/she is gone. I don't lose who is gone, but who is gone... have lost me...''

he's left, the second is finished, left, I did not lose him, it is him which lost me.

Hi All

Kafetzou - thanks, now it makes more sense

Diego - I didn't prefer left to gone, I was just trying to find a wording that didn't feel clumsy in English.

If no-one minds I will edit as per Kafetzou's suggestions and then validate.

the instant he left is over

io utilizzerei il past simple anche per la prima parte della traduzione. In italiano si e' costretti ad utilizzare un verbo ausiliare quando si tratta di verbi intransitivi al passato prossimo. In inglese cio' non e' necessario, perche'si usa il past simple quando l' azione si e' conclusa nel tempo in modo definitivo.
La traduzione piu' opportuna sarebbe:
He/she/It left ,(...)
Per il resto ritengo che la traduzione vada bene, considerato che non se ne conosce il contesto delle frasi in lingua originale.

Hi All

I have edited in trying to incorporate most people's suggestions.

I have put an alternative in the comments box.

I have reset a poll.

Since this is a "meaning only" request, I think we are floccinaucinihilifipilicating her so, unless someone comes up with something more accurate but understandable in English, I will validate the current version.

Sorry, Tantine; it's now wrong. GİTTİĞİ SANİYE BİTMİŞTİR means "The moment (when) s/he left is gone", not "the second has ended, it's gone".

Bu cümle için anlamı daha iyi veren bir çeviri yapılabilir

Je penche pour la version alternative qui est beaucoup plus claire en anglais. On utilise plus facilement "moment" en anglais que "second" même si c'est le sens du mot "saniye" en turc

The problem is not the difference between "second" and "moment" - that's not important. The problem is the connection between what is "gone" and what has "ended" - it is the second/moment when s/he left that is gone.

I've edited the text and validated the translation. Tantine, I hope you don't mind - you sounded like you were kind of tired of it anyhow.

Hi Kafetzou

Not at all

Thanks so much

I could no longer see head nor tail of this one.
