1. Weihnachten ist der wundervollste Tag des Jahres.

2. Noël est le jour le plus admirable de l'année.

3. Natale è il giorno più ammirevole dell'anno.

4. Been born them it is the more admirable day of the year.

Oh MAN!!  :laugh: 

My original sentence was "Christmas is the most wonderful day of the year!"  :laugh:

I translated it from English to German, then from German to French, then from French to Italian, and finally from Italian back to English.

Okay. I'll stop playing now.  ::)  :-X  :-X

Hey David,  :D

what comes out at the end is hotchpotch,
but the translation from English to German is absolutely perfect!!! - WOW!

"Christmas is the most wonderful day of the year!"
"Weihnachten ist der wundervollste Tag des Jahres!"


Sometimes it works!  ::)

THIS IS FUN!  :D



If you can't fix it, you got to stand it.

in Dutch (duh, like I need Babelfish for that... ;))

Als u het niet kunt bevestigen, kreeg u om zich het te bevinden
(what the hell?)

and back to English:

If you cannot confirm it, you got to be itself it

I wonder if this will even work?

I will translate something into a language I THINK nobody around here can speak, and then I will translate it back into English. Jess or anyone, try to guess what my original question was, okay?

Here it is...

Okay, I just translated it into Greek, and this is what it said...

Τι ώρα θα επιθυμούσατε να σηκωθείτε αύριο;
 
Now, back to English again...

Which hour you would wish to raise itself tomorrow?

God, that almost sounds obscene!! I swear it wasn't. What was my original question Jess? (Or anyone)  :laugh:






*SLAP!!*

You sir are a WEIRDO!!

*stomps out*













just kidding!!

I think you asked "what time are you getting up tomorrow?'

Hey David it was just yesterday, you posted the question.
Sorry if I`m not fast enough for you.

Damn, I don`t won the ponny - but dear I`m definitely no party pooper!
Was at a pajama party yesterday night - Sleepover Club - you remember?  ;D  ::)
