Your comment was a real challenge, but I feel pretty confident that I nailed the translation

SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 21 Mar 22:11 collapse

Hehe, at least you correctly identified ot as polish*. my comment was a translation of yours (with varying degrees of properness).

Did you try to write the phonetisation of it to English or what is it?

  • Polish me jaja

I’ve got some family from Poland and immediately recognized some of the letter combinations.

Lemme go back to my first translation from “Porque no los dos.” This phrase was popularized by a Mexican food commercial where a family is arguing about two different things, and this one girl says “why not the both of them?” Literally translated word by word: Why not the two.

Since someone was being silly and asking for a translation in Spanish, I did a terrible “translation” to similar sounding words. A reverse example is the word “embarrassed.” Sometimes people will say “estoy embarazada” when they are embarrassed. This is a mistake usually made by people who don’t speak Spanish as their main language. While “embarazada” is a real word, it means pregnant, not embarrassed.

So, I did find phonetic equivalents from Spanish to English. This was a bit more difficult from Polish because the pronunciation of many of the words you wrote are very different from how they look to someone who doesn’t know West Slavic languages. So, I had to find a balance between an uninformed, but realistic phonetic equivalent as though what you wrote was being read to me by a tourist.

For example, I believe “stracił dwa” would be pronounced more like “straw chew d’va.” But I’d imagine a tourist would say “straw sill(or chill) d’wah.”

Does that make a little more sense? You’d have to read your Polish, but, like, really really wrong. And then think of phonetic equivalents of that.

In summary: I wasted my time and have no regrets.

SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 21 Mar 22:51 collapse

yeah, it totally does make more sense.

the phonetisation was good

I am Mexican, I deem you honorary Mexican so you may share the joy of having a not so shitty president.

I mean, I don’t live in Mexico so she’s technically also not my president but if you want I can also deem you honorary Canadian.

I mean, if Russia and Ukraine can both agree in recognizing Palestine as a state maybe the rest of the world (USA) needs to take a hint

Plenty of Hasbara in Reddit these days combing through any Israel- Palestine conflict.

As someone who grew up in Ireland, I know for a fact that Ireland is one of the first countries to support Israeli statehood and then the two state solution. As a matter of fact, one of Ireland’s ministers is a Jew who later on served as advisor to one of the Israeli political party that will eventually rule the country: the Likud party. Unfortunately, with ultra-Zionism now taking hold on Israeli society, Ireland recognise modern Israel’s attempt to genocide Palestinians so there is a rift between Ireland and Israel.

Fast forward to present day, when the Irish parliament drew up a bill to ban goods from Israeli occupied territories, comments in Reddit swarmed like ants accusing Ireland of historical antisemitism/anti-Zionism and perpetuating the myth that then Irish prime minister, Eamon De Valera, sent condolences upon hearing the news of Hitlers death. These comments have been heavily upvoted. However, they conveniently and purposefully forget said Ireland’s history of supporting Israeli statehood and close political ties with the country’s early days.

They have it more much difficult right now, because Mexico’s president is Jewish, so they are basically calling her a race traitor

selokichtli@lemmy.ml on 21 Mar 04:08 next collapse

Considering how the president represents her people, I’m not surprised. Mexicans do oppose to the Palestine genocide by the Israel military forces. It’s obviously not unanimous, some pro-Israel genocide state people do exist.
