Umseting - Turkiskt-Enskt - Küresel ısınma çzöümleri

"...in order to prevent the iceberg melting." ?
I didn't get this line. Please explain it in different words.

Hi lilian canale,
It may be "to stop Icebergs from melting/liquifying"

The line doesn't make sense to me
How could it be possible preventing icebergs from melting by consuming less electricity?

Actually it doesn't make sense. I think a teenager is trying to write sentences about environmental problems.

Hazal, could you give us a hand here and try to understand the last line of the request?

Hi!
In a way, it is something positive to see a young person worrying about environmental problems we'll have seriously to face in the next coming years.

Praiseworthy, indeed,...however I'd like to understand what he meant.

Do you have any idea Francky?

Hi Lilian, Hi Francky, Hi minuet,
As you know I'm not very good at English but I can translate that sentence into French:

''Pour empêcher la fusion des glaciers, nous ne devons pas trop utiliser l'électricité''.

I hope I helped you.

My Turkish really sucks too much for me to be able to understand more than a couple of words ;

And the use of an automatic tanslation tool didn't help : "to prevent melting of the icebergs, must use too much electricity"...



Maybe did he want to say that electricity consumption requires some energy, and that energy produced by human beings is the main cause of the global warming; and global warming caused the iceberg melting.

Requester should have said "slow down" instead of "prevent", and "less" instead of "too much" ...

Oui, merci Hazal! Le turc a l'air de mal passer dans les traducteurs automatiques, en tout cas celui que j'ai utilisé!

Hazal, could you please ask ekonsat to review that line and see if it's possible to be rephrased making it clearer?

Thanks.

Hi Lilian,
It's clear in Turkish, but it's difficult for me to say it in English. You know, my English is poor but in French it's: ''Pour empêcher la fusion des glaciers, nous ne devons pas trop utiliser l'électricité'' or ''Pour empêcher la fusion des glaciers, nous ne devons pas consommer beaucoup d'électricité''. And in English I think it should be something like ''To prevent the iceberg melting, we shouldn't consume/use too much electricity''.

minuet's translation seems to be ok then...

Guys, what I'm saying is that the "idea" makes no sense. We could translate it as:
''To prevent the iceberg melting, we shouldn't consume/use too much electricity''.
No problem, but although grammatically correct, the statement is false. See what I mean?
That's why I suggested the rephrasing.
