Hi elmota! It's nice to see you again.

I don't understand the English original either.

What is the word "already" doing in the sentence?

I don't think the requester is a native speaker of English. It would be better if she submitted her request in Portuguese and let us do the translating. If she doesn't respond to this note within a few days, we should send her one directly to her in-box. Do you want to take care of this, Elmota?

Also, I think the requester means it is the language of her ancestors, not her descendants!

Hi
I was reading the messages and I think I really can not explain the meaning of the sentence. In Portuguese it would be "Eu já quis parar o tempo" but in English, I think it would have more meaning only "I wanted to stop the moment."
I hope that helps a little to clarify the real meaning of the sentence.
And sorry for the mistake, it is the language of my ancestors and not for my descendants :P
Thank you again!
;D

casper, thatha, can you help me with understanding what she meant here? I realize the translation wasn't submitted correctly, but I think we can work with what she wrote above.

What the girl wants is something like "once I dared to stop the time" or even "I wish I could've stopped the time".
I can't express myself here.

Hmm. Those two are pretty different in English. Thanks for trying! Any suggestions for someone who is a native speaker of English but translates from Portuguese?

It's a hard phrase. It's a little too Brasilian-like, I guess.
Maybe Una could help.
