ok, gave my notice on tuesday morning at work... time to screw with thier minds.

today I wrote my timecard backwards. Have until the 2nd to screw around now.

I'd like to get my "usual" set of lines translated into any dialects I can, and see how many they can figure out.

1: assist todd[partner's name]/cutter/upstairs
2: coffee
3: lunch
4: clean area
5: sweep shipping/outside/extention
6: pick up garbage
7: cut gusset/scrap/squares
8: sort scrap
9: floorwork/folding
10: how easy was this one to figure out?
11: wasting time

Hopefully I can get 8 different dialects to go with... thanks for any and all help with my boredom relief.

Just me personally...

I wouldn't just screw off now because you're quitting. I would work my last 2-3 weeks doing the best job I can.

:)

still plan to work as usual, just going to have fun with them trying to figure out what the **** I did all day. :D

Okay, I'll bite....What DO you get? :)

your neighbours :p sometimes you have to wonder though if aussies are from another planet all together though.

1: Help todd/die snyer/op die boonste vloer
2: Koffie
3: Middag ete
4: Maak area skoon
5: Vee versending/buite/uitbreiding
6: Tell vullis op
7: Sny gusset(? not sure what this is?)/afval/vierkante
8: Sorteer afval
9: Vloerwerk/Opvou
10: Hoe maklik was die een om uit te werk?
11: Tyd mors

All in Afrikaans.

Have fun.

Hey VW!

Dude, hang on...lemme get my foot outta my mouth...

God bless :cool:

in French:

1: seconder todd/cutter/à l'étage
2: café
3: repas
4: endroit propre
5: ???/dehors/extension
6: ramasser les ordures
7: couper un gousset/bout/carrés
8: trier les bouts
9: ???/pliant
10: est-ce que ce fût facile à deviner ?
11: perdre du temps

honestly I'm not sure it's 100% accurate cause I had to look in my dictionnary for some of them and tried to guess the right translation among several possible... :)

In German:

1: Hilfe für Todd / für den Zuschneider / im oberen Stockwerk
2: Kaffee
3: Mittagessen
4: Säubern des Geländes
5: Versandabteilung / Draußen / Extention ( :confused: ) fegen
6: Müll einsammeln
7: Zwickel / Abfall / Quadrate schneiden
8: Abfall sortieren
9: Bodenarbeit ( :confused: ) / falten
10: Wie schwierig war es, das herauszufinden?
11: Zeitverschwendung

I had the same problem as Senate. Most English words have several meanings in German and usually you'll get the right meaning from the context. If the cutter is a person then 1 should be right.

Have fun!

Cheers, Rob

OK, this is my try:
1: pomoct Toddovi/rezac, strihac/na poschodi
2: kava
3: obed, hlavne jedlo
4: opustit oblast, vycistit oblast
5: podat zasielku/vonku/rozsah (?)
6: pozbierat smetie
7: zrezat klin/odpad/stvorce, namestia
8: triedit odpad
9: prace na zemi/skladaci, zatvaraci
10: Ake tazke bolo toto zistit?
11: stracat cas

What is this all about? :confused:

Just a suggestion

will hebrew be good VW? :p
i can type in english fonts or in hebrew fonts (don't know if you'll be able to see them though) choose & i'll type if you like :rolleyes:

HoB, thanks! So it should be "extension"? I thought it might have something to do with "extent" but was not sure in which context and couldn't find "extention" in the dictionary :rolleyes: If it is "extension" than "Verlängerung" is right.

Cheers, Rob
