| | Merhabalar, yunancam pek iyi değil ama türkçe olan cümle yanlış kurulmuş, doğrusu bence şöyle: ''Akrabam olmamanın nedeni nedir?'' |
| | 1 January 2009 23:42 |
| | Sağol Emre, ama Yunancadaki cümle biraz eski gibi olduğu için böyle çevirdim. Akrabam olmaman "που δεν γίνεις συγγενής μου" olurdu. |

| iriniNumber of messages: 849 | Verbatim: What's the reason you don't enter my tribe?
I can't really imagine what it refers to unless it's an online game of some sort it's talking about. |

| handyyNumber of messages: 2118 | Aha, irini I agree with you; it must be an online game. But as far as know, people divide their groups from others playing these games in particular clans. So could the word be "clan" instead of "tribe"? |

| | It's a noun, and yes, I think it would be "clan" in English. I also took it to be an online game.
The online Greek dictionary I use gives the following for the word φυλή: "clan - jat - race - tribe" I don't know what "jat" is - I never heard of that. Maybe it's another online gaming word. |

| | Ah - I found "jat":
"Jat (n) : a member of an Indo-European people widely scattered throughout the northwest of the Indian subcontinent and consisting of Muslims and Hindus and Sikhs"
I wonder why they give that as equivalent to "clan", "race" or "tribe" - interesting, but not necessarily relevant to this translation. |

| handyyNumber of messages: 2118 | Haha it is really interesting; according to the explanation you gave for "jat", it is used for a particular group of people, so there is no relation between these words.
Anyway, as you are also agree with "clan", let's make some edit in the translation. I think we could put it as "Klanıma katılmamanın nedeni ne?". "Katılmamak" seems to be more appropriate than "girmemek" -to me. What do you say? |
| | 25 January 2009 17:04 |
| | Oh! I didn't know that was a Turkish word. That sounds fine - I changed it. |

| handyyNumber of messages: 2118 | Actually it is not a Turkish word, we can translate it as "kavim/kabile,etc.", but it is also widely known and used as "klan" due to these common online games.
...aaand it's validated! |

| | BTW, I left off the question mark and the capital letter because the original didn't have them, but it's not important. |

| handyyNumber of messages: 2118 | Ah, I thought that you forgot it to put.
Anyway, let it stay as it is now. |
