| Hi Pia,
"does remind" is a syntax used to intensify the verb like "really/surely/etc." Therefore we don't usually use it together with those adverbs.
has liberate oneself ---> has liberated itself
For the last line I'd suggest:
"(It's) The greatest mess ever caused to European transport in peacetime."
What do you think? |

Appreciate your explanation and also corrections. Hm.. I think I must work harder with the English, sorry for all faults. I'll correct. |

piasIdadi ya ujumbe: 8113 | Lilian,
I should have seen it before!! The first word in the last line is not translated, sorry! It should start with: "(The) Consequences are ..." |

piasIdadi ya ujumbe: 8113 | I hope so, Lilian! Thanks. I wonder if "chaos" is a better word than "mess" in this context, but I guess the poll will tell |

piasIdadi ya ujumbe: 8113 | Yes, Ernst..
What's the problem? CC: Bamsa |

BamsaIdadi ya ujumbe: 1524 | I am not any English expert but I vonder if "iðrum" is included in the sentence "liberated itself from the earth" and you translated "brotið sér leið" to "liberated" |
| 20 Aprili 2010 09:33 |
piasIdadi ya ujumbe: 8113 | You are right, I excluded "interior", thanks!
I thought broke free/ liberated was synonyms?? But if you prefer the other one, no problem. What about: "...broke free from the earth's interior" |

BamsaIdadi ya ujumbe: 1524 | It is about something that broke a way out from the interior of the earth.
"liberated itself from the earth" sounds like it isn't there anymore.. |
| 20 Aprili 2010 10:46 |
piasIdadi ya ujumbe: 8113 | And you mean that, the current translation isn't about that??
Lilian... please, reject my translation! |
| 20 Aprili 2010 11:08 |
BamsaIdadi ya ujumbe: 1524 | You don't need to reject it. I'm just commenting your translation, that's what the poll is about |
| 20 Aprili 2010 11:15 |
BamsaIdadi ya ujumbe: 1524 | It is a monster face at the surface of the earth spewing fire and sulphur into the atmosphere. A volcano? |
| 20 Aprili 2010 11:40 |
piasIdadi ya ujumbe: 8113 | Yes, Ernst, you have understood the meaning.
The poll is for constructive critisism. |
| 20 Aprili 2010 12:08 |
piasIdadi ya ujumbe: 8113 | Ah, you must have edited your post (20 April 2010 10:43) at the same time as I answered. Cause "liberated itself from the earth" sounds like it isn't there anymore.. was NOT there then.
Hm, that is constructive critisism. So maybe: "broke free" is better? |

Scary face indeed! |
| 20 Aprili 2010 14:04 |
BamsaIdadi ya ujumbe: 1524 | Yes it is a scary face. I saw it in our Faroese internet portal, and the picture crossed my mind when I saw this request |
