English : So this guy is having a barbecue party in his backyard for a bunch of people. He's roasting a chicken on a rostisserie, turning the handle and putting on the barbecue sauce when this drunk comes up to him and says
" Say buddy, not only can I not hear the music, but I think your monkey's on fire."

@Joe Nation,
Are you using babelfish? Or some other online translator?
@tsarstepan,
Let's see Joe fess-up. Joe: You know all of those languages personally, right?

@Ragman,
Naw, I don't need to know no stinking languages!! I used Bing Translator. I still don't know where the "character" came from.
Do you remember the game "Telephone"? All the people had to do was repeat a story in ENGLISH, the results were sometimes very funny.

@Joe Nation,
Okay, I'll have a go, but I'm using my own story.
English wrote:Karin was an elf, or at least I think she was, because her ears pointed and she always wore great shoes. Because she was an elf, I never actually attempted to seduce her, but I suspect she would not have been averse. However, I would have required that she keep the shoes on, and say to me, whispering, "Feed me tacos."
German wrote: Karin war ein Elf, oder zumindest ich denke, dass Sie war da zeigten mit ihren Ohren und Sie immer große Schuhe trug. Weil Sie ein Elf war, ich nie wirklich versucht, Sie zu verführen, aber ich vermute, dass Sie nicht abgeneigt gewesen wäre. Aber würde ich erfordert, dass Sie die Schuhe anbehalten, und sagen mir, Flüstern, "Feed mich Tacos."
French wrote:Karin était un elfe, ou au moins, je crois qu'elle était il y a montré avec leurs oreilles et porte des chaussures toujours grandes. Parce qu'un elfe a vous, j'ai jamais vraiment essayé de vous séduire, mais je soupçonne que vous aurait pas réticents. Mais j'exigerait que vous gardez les chaussures et dites-moi, chuchoter, « feed me tacos. »
Spanish wrote:Karin fue un elfo, o por lo menos, creo que era se mostró con sus orejas y es siempre zapatos grandes. Porque un elfo fue usted, nunca he intentado seducirá, pero sospecho tiene paso renuente. Pero yo exigiría que mantenga los zapatos y dime, susurrando, "alimentar me tacos de."
Slovak wrote: Karin bol Elf, alebo aspoň myslím, že bolo dokázané, s ich uši a je vždy skvelé topánky. Pretože Elf bol vás, som nikdy nezkoušel bude zviesť, ale mám podozrenie, že sa zdráha krok. Ale by vyžadovalo držať topánky a povedz mi, šeptání: "krmivá mne podpätky."
Russian wrote: Карин было Elf, или по крайней мере, я думаю, это было доказано, с их уши, и это всегда большой обувь. Потому что Elf, я никогда не пробовал вам будет выполняться, но я подозреваю, что это неохотно двигаться. Но он потребует сохранить обувь, и скажите мне, шепчет: «кормить меня пяток».
English wrote: Karin was Elf, or at least I think it's been proven, with their ears, and it's always great shoes. Because Elf, I've never tried it you will run, but I suspect that it is reluctant to move. But it would require to keep shoes, and tell me, whispering: "feed me heels".
This could be a really great thread. Thanks, Joe Nation!
@Joe Nation,
Yup! Telegraph or Telephone was a game in sixth grade class. The brief story was whipsered around in a class of 24 students. The first one was whispered the story and the last one tells the class what is the final version.
My wife lived in China until she was 30. It is funny when she learns an American slang expression at work and then tries to use it at home.
A guy at work said to her, "Hey, Charlene! What's the word?" She came home and told me that she learned a new way to say hello from a guy at work. She told me that he said to her: "Hi, Charlene! What are your words?"
Ooh, I might play on this. Anyone tried google translator? I like it best so far.

The few times I've tried it, the translation seems sane.
@Joe Nation,
i loved this joke when Benny Hill used it in a song about 40 years ago
Outside a bar in Toledo, where you had had more than your fill,
A man stood rotating a chicken on a flaming-hot infrared grill.
You staggered up to him and shouted, with a voice just like a town crier,
You said, "Hey, mate, your barrel organ is broken, what's more your monkey's on fire."
One night a policewoman pulls over a slightly drunk driver. She politely asks him to step out of his car. He willingly does so. She says, "Anything you say can and will be held against you." He replies: "breasts."
To German:
Eine Nacht zieht eine Polizeibeamtin über einen etwas getrunkenen Fahrer. Sie bittet ihn höflich, aus seinem Auto heraus zu treten. Er tut bereitwillig so. Sie sagt, " Alles, das Sie können und werden gehalten werden gegen you." sagen; Er antwortet: " breasts."
German to French:

French to Dutch

Dutch to English
A civil servant of police force draws a night on drunk driver slightly. Lived him asks you take a step of its car. Him ready thus hoots. She says, " ; Everything that you can and approximately you." are kept; to say; He answers: "breasts.”
English by me:
This morning, a friend and I did some shopping and then went out for lunch to a new restaurant in our area, Sushi Xuan Asian Grill. We both liked the cafe a great deal. It is located in a poorly designed and not visually accessible shopping mall, so it was a good sign to us that the restaurant was busy when we were there.
We ordered a series of appetizers, gyoza and chicken yakitori and shrimp tempera, along with a pot of green tea. All were good.
off to google ig -
German
An diesem Morgen, ein Freund und ich habe einige Einkäufe und ging dann zum Mittagessen ein neues Restaurant in unserer Gegend, Sushi Xuan Asian Grill. Uns beiden gefiel das Cafe eine ganze Menge. Es befindet sich in einer schlecht konzipiert und visuell nicht zugänglich Einkaufszentrum, so war es ein gutes Zeichen für uns, dass das Restaurant beschäftigt, als wir dort waren.
Wir bestellten eine Reihe von Vorspeisen, Gyoza und Hühnchen Yakitori und Garnelen Tempera, zusammen mit einem Topf von grünem Tee. Alle waren gut.

Un matin, cela, un ami et j'ai un peu de shopping et ensuite à déjeuner un nouveau restaurant dans notre région, Sushi Xuan Asian Grill. Nous avons tous deux aimé le café beaucoup. Il est situé dans un mal conçu et pas visuellement centre commercial accessible, donc c'était un bon signe pour nous que le restaurant est occupé lorsque nous étions là.

Pedimos varias entradas, y el pollo yakitori y temperatura gyoza camarón, con una taza de té verde. Todos eran buenos.

To je v zle navrhnuté a non-vizuálny prístup centrum, a to bolo dobré znamenie pre nás, že reštaurácia je zaneprázdnený, keď sme tam boli.
Spýtali sme sa niekoľko záznamov, a kuracie yakitori a kreviet gyoza teploty, s šálkou zeleného čaju. Oni boli všetci dobrí.

Мы попросили несколько записей, и куриный якитори и креветок Gyoza температуры, с чашкой зеленого чая. Они все были хорошие.
I have probably totally confused myself by now, by choosing too long a text and thus having trouble keeping track of what I was doing. We'll see..

One morning in this, my friend and I have a small shop, and then a new restaurant in our area, sushi Xuan Asian grill. We both love coffee, too. It is poorly designed and non-visual access to the center, and it was a good sign for us that the restaurant was busy when we were there.
We asked a few records, and chicken yakitori and shrimp Gyoza temperature, with a cup of green tea. They were all good.
Not too bad, considering... babelfish is worse on just one try.
@ossobuco,
I like to look at sentences to see the many commonalities.
Yesterday my mother told me my wife would be here tomorrow.

@ossobuco,
It is like music to me.
How does language change, I keep asking myself.
Quote:Your mother told me my mother would come tomorrow.
Your mother told me my mother is coming tomorrow.
Your mother told me my mother was coming tomorrow.
All these mean the same thing.
Here's the German from Bing
Quote:Ihre Mutter erzählte mir, meine Mutter morgen kommen würde.
Ihre Mutter erzählte mir, meine Mutter Morgen kommt.
Ihre Mutter erzählte mir, meine Mutter morgen kommen war.
Here's the German from Google
Quote:Ihre Mutter erzählte mir meine Mutter würde morgen kommen.
Ihre Mutter erzählte mir meine Mutter kommt morgen.
Ihre Mutter erzählte mir meine Mutter kam morgen.
None of them are the same.
I don't know if that matters, it might.
I'm starting to look at other things.
All of the sentences are the same syntax as English until we get to "would, is, was, come, coming, tomorrow" Germans get their tomorrow first then the arriving verb. tommorrow coming is.
French:
Quote:Ta mère m'a dit que ma mère viendrait demain.
Votre mère m'a dit ma mère vient demain.
Ta mère m'a dit que ma mère était à venir demain.
Three different words for coming and your mother "ME tells "rather than TOLD ME......m'a dit not dit m'a. I find that interesting.
Same with the Dutch:
Quote:Uw moeder vertelde me dat mijn moeder zou komen morgen.
Uw moeder vertelde me dat mijn moeder komt morgen.
Uw moeder vertelde me dat mijn moeder zou komen morgen.
Me tolds, but "coming, is coming tommorrow."
Now here's the Irish:
Quote:Do mháthair dúradh liom go mbeadh mo mháthair teacht amárach.
Do mháthair dúradh liom go bhfuil mo mháthair ag teacht amárach.
Do mháthair dúradh liom mo mháthair a bhí ag teacht amárach.
How about that? Your mhathair mother duradh liom
told me ...
Any chance the folks speaking Olde English might have picked that construction from the Celts and dropped the German/French/Dutch
me told stuff??
Maybe they got it from the Welsh???
Quote:Mae eich mam dweud wrthyf y byddai fy mam yn dod yfory.
Mae eich mam wrthyf fy mam yn dod yfory.
Mae eich mam wrthyf fy mam yn dod yfory.
That "wrthy fy" is your Mam telling me instead is me being told.
