    Burn with love.
    Delete? Not a sentence pair, but a verb phrase pair.

    [E-6] Burn with love. [J-6] 愛情に燃える。 200810-46969
  2. Seulement 1000 yen.
    Hi,
    I've deleted the English and Japanese entries this was linked to as it wasn't much of a 'sentence'. You might want to delete this as well, or you could change it and the Arabic entry to something more substantial.

    Love and Peace.
    Not an English sentence.

    I think "It's love and peace" would sound a bit unnatural, but maybe it would match the Japanese that way.

    [E-6] Love and Peace. [J-6] 愛と平和です。 200810-46937

  4. Mi ne kapablas priskribi miajn sentojn.
    Mot à mot: je ne suis pas capable de décrire mes sentiments.
  5. 「どの列に並べばいいですか」「どの列でもよろしいです」
    In this case it appears likely that this line was one half of a conversational exchange. I've taken the other example and combined them.
  6. sentence deleted
    I've used this with another example.
  7. 「どの列に並べばいいですか」「どの列でもよろしいです」
    Any of the above would do as far as I can see.

    A minor point being that it makes a little less work for me if the Japanese line isn't changed, but naturalness comes first.
  8. Mi volus esti Picasso.
    Mot à mot: Je voudrais être ...
  9. Mi volus skribi centojn da frazoj ĉe Tatoeba, sed mi havas aliajn farendaĵojn.
    Mot à mot: Je voudrais écrire...
  10. あの民宿は７千円で、素泊まりは２千円安いよ。
    Yup, done. Thanks a lot.

    sentence deleted
    Delete. It's just an utterance, not a sentence.
    [E-6] Just 1,000 yen. [J-6] たった千円。 200810-34343
  12. あの民宿は７千円で、素泊まりは２千円安いよ。
    Done ... isn't it?
  13. Tiu juna homo nemulte scias pri sia lando.
    "człowiek" signifas nur "homo", ne "viro" en la pola
  14. シルヴィオ・ベルルスコーニはイタリアの政治家、現在のイタリア首相、また成功した実業家。
    だ or です would make it a nice complete sentence.
  15. Wenn Gott nicht existieren würde, müsste man ihn erfinden.
    na gut, dass hier noch nicht so viele Deutschsprachige unterwegs sind, ...und hier der Krieg ausbricht ;)
  16. Wenn Gott nicht existieren würde, müsste man ihn erfinden.
    ...wozu es dann auch gekommen ist.
  17. Tiu juna homo nemulte scias pri sia lando.
    Tiu juna viro .... (eble)
    :-)
  18. Wir freuen uns, Ihnen mitteilen zu dürfen, dass Sie den Friedensnobelpreis bekommen haben.
    danke!
  19. Wir freuen uns, Ihnen mitteilen zu dürfen, dass Sie den Friedensnobelpreis bekommen haben.
    den Friedensnobelpreis
  20. Les autres garçons sourirent.
    Effectivement, faute grossière, merci de l'avoir fait remarquer.
  21. Er wollte zur See fahren.
    Re-linked. ^ ^;
  22. Er wollte zur See fahren.
    "zur See fahren" does mean "to go to sea" (see http://www.dict.cc/deutsch-engl...ee+fahren.html ), so it does match the English sentence.

    Bourdu, "go to the seaside" would have been "Er wollte ans Meer fahren"
  23. I cared for the rabbits when I was at school.
    Hi,
    you can add alternative translations yourself. Just click on the sentence you want to translate, click the あ->a icon (under the 'S' of 'Sentence') and type it in.
  24. Der König unterdrückte sein Volk.
    Wovon ist der deutsche Satz denn die direkte Übersetzung?
  25. Er wollte zur See fahren.
    OK, I'm unlinking it from
    http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/300699

    I will link it back if he changes it.
  26. I boccioli cominciarono a sciudersi.
    Should this be: I boccioli cominciarono a schiudersi.
  27. Nicolas dedicated a script to me today.
    Nicolas dedicated a script to me today.
  28. Er wollte zur See fahren.
    Could someone unlink this sentence? It does not match the English translation any more. Thank you in advance!
  29. Voleva andare al mare.
    Grazie mille!
  30. No sooner had he arrived than the bus departed.
    > Is that the preferred British English way?

    Certainly not in _this_ example (original version). I would have said "set off" or "started off", but "departed" is also good.

    "started" is also OK when in the form "started for ___".

    I'll have a look at the other sentences later.
  31. 彼は今晩ずっとここにいるだろう。
    I think ここ would be a better match for the non-polite ending いるだろう
  32. 両国間の貿易協定。
    Sentence fragment

    He's getting soft in his old age.
    This is a case where you should add an alternative translation.

    Though you translation may be better, some people could possibly use "get soft" as in his muscles get soft (or weaker.).

    I like your translation better and would hope that it's the one that would get chosen for wwwJdict.
  34. He's getting soft in his old age.
    I would say "He's become frail in his old age" for the sentence 彼も年のせいで弱くなった since sentences like this using 弱い tend to describe one's physical weakening as one grows older.

    コップに水をいっぱい入れる。
    I agree that it should either be changed or deleted.
    It's just a verb phrase pair, not a sentence pair.

    コップに水をいっぱい入れる。
    Fill the glass with water.
  36. 彼は自己中心的で欲が深い。
    I'm still not sure because I'm still learning japanese but fukai -the last word is an important adjective and mean deep, which i suppose could means in english that He is really selfish and greedy. Am i right?
  37. Per la spritaĵoj li povis kaŝi sian malĝojon.
    Saluton! Hazarde mi vidis vian frazon. Ĉu ne pli bone "povis kaŝi"? povi = können; provi = versuchen;
    (Kaj mi rekomendas uzi la Esperanto-literojn anstataŭ la x-kodon. Eble kopiu: Per la spritaĵoj li povis kaŝi sian malĝojon.)
    Ĉ ĉ Ĝ ĝ Ĥ ĥ Ĵ ĵ Ŝ ŝ Ŭ ŭ
    (mi mem uzas la programon "Ek" por skribi ilin.)
    salutas vin Heinz

    Laut der englischen Übersetzung müsste der Satz heißen:

    Grüße

    *néerlandais.

  58. Sie ist als Sängerin berühmt, aber als Dichterin ist sie unbekannt.
    @xtofu80:
    Also für mich klingt der Satz irgendwie steif.
    Ich hätte das so gesagt (lt. der engl. Übers.):
    Sie ist als Sängerin hervorragend, aber nicht als Dichterin.

    Grüße
  59. Multaj anglaj vortoj estas de latina deveno.
    Dankon!
  60. Poszedłem dziś do dentysty.
    Yeah, when I saw that you unlinked it from all other sentences, I thought "Ah, this is the way how to do it!" ;-) Thanks for solving the problem. So the script should be run in the near future, I have seen several other duplicates in the last days already.
  61. "Ah, the trailing group has arrived." "Oh no. They caught up with us while we were resting."
    Maybe "Oh no!" - with a tinge of dismay and surprise.

  65. "Ah, the trailing group has arrived." "Oh no. They caught up with us while we were resting."

  66. i love you
    @ahmad
    Welcome to Tatoeba.

    Please ensure that you use capital letters and punctuation in sentences you post. Note that this sentence is already in Tatoeba so will be deleted if it is not expanded or changed.

    @CK
    It was only posted an hour ago - give him a chance to fix it.
  67. Atentu la kameraon, dum mi telefonas.
    Laŭ la senco de la angla frazo, jes. Sed mi eliris de la nederlandlingva frazo.
    Tamen la samtempeco pli evidentiĝas per DUM.
  68. La katolika eklezio kontraŭas eksedziĝon.
    tujkompreneble!
  69. Voleva andare al mare.
    Je vois, d'accord! (j'avais cru que "archaic" c'était parce qu'il n'y avait pas "the"^^)
    Bien donc, je vais traduire ça, check back later :)
  70. Poszedłem dziś do dentysty.
    They will be merged, no problem. Unlink was needed, not deletion ;)
  71. Ils ont consenti à beaucoup de sacrifices pour acheter leur maison.
    *consenti
  72. "Ah, the trailing group has arrived." "Oh no. They caught up with us while we were resting."
    I guess it would depend on the age of the person saying the second line, but maybe "Aww..." would work (with a slightly disappointed, trailing intonation)
  73. Multaj anglaj vortoj estas de latina deveno.
    - angalaj > anglaj
    - aŭ "estas DE latina deveno" aŭ "havas latinan devenon"

    Please change the flag!
  75. اني احبك
    Please change the flag!

    La frazo egalas #412432#.
  77. Atentu la kameraon, dum mi telefonas.
    @koosscharroo:
    "Kiam": Laŭ senco mi preferus "dum".

    Amike
  78. Mi scias la veron.
    Vortaroj do ne estas unuanimaj.
  79. Mi dezirus havi tason da kafo.
    Jes, konservu.

    Videble alia skolo de E-o. Mi devas kontroli tion.
  81. "Ah, the trailing group has arrived." "Oh no. They caught up with us while we were resting."
    I'm giving this a personal 6/10 - room for improvement.

    Any suggestions on better translations for あちゃー?
  82. ジャズは音符がバッハが使ったのと同じだ。
    指摘をありがとうございます。

    言われてみればそうなんでしょうけど、まだ元の文の構成にはほんのわずかだけでも違和感を覚えます。それを駄文にした自分がいうのもなんですが。
    別の言い方に修正しようと、「ジャズが使う音符は、バッハが使ったのと同じだ」や「ジャズはバッハが使った音符を使う」なんてあまり強引な訳が浮かびますが、どうでしょう。
  83. ジャズは音符がバッハが使ったのと同じだ。
    たしかではないけど、たぶん英文が先にあって、日本文が和訳です。
  84. Li volis iri al la maro.
    Thanks a lot!

    *réparé
  86. Quelques braves passagers ont attrapé le pickpocket et l'ont remis aux policiers.

  88. sentence deleted
    bonjour, sur tatoeba, pour des raisons de droit international, nous préférons ne pas avoir de citation provenant de film, livres, chansons, qui sont soumis à la loi du droit d'auteur, et qui varie fortement d'un pays à un autre. Donc tant que nous n'avons pas éclairé complétement la question des courtes citations, nous les refusons. Car il faut savoir que l'ensemble des phrases présentes sur tatoeba, sont ensuite mises sous licence libre, permettant la réutilisation à des fins commerciales, et nous ne sommes pas sur que le droit de citation autorise cela.

    merci de ta compréhension:)
  89. ジャズは音符がバッハが使ったのと同じだ。
    え？　記譜法の事を言っているのですか？
    それから、この文は英文が先にあったのですか？
  90. ジャズは音符がバッハが使ったのと同じだ。
    > つまり記譜法は基本的に同じです。

    ずばりそういうことを言っています。
  91. sentence deleted
    This is the same as 182946, and 182946 is correct as proverb.
  92. ジャズは音符がバッハが使ったのと同じだ。
    日本語の文としては、元の文の方が良かったと思います。

    それからこの文の意味についてですが、よくわかりません。
    西洋音楽である限り、ジャズであろうがクラシックであろうが音符の書き方など、つまり記譜法は基本的に同じです。
    旋律（メロディー）とか和音進行（コード進行）の事を言っているのでしょうか？
  93. 彼は船乗りになりたかった。
    If they don't, then don't forget you can ask for translations to be 'unlinked' when they don't match. So you could unlink your French sentence from the Italian and Esperanto (and your old version could be linked to them).
  94. As-tu déjà vu ce film?
    *déjà
  95. 彼は船乗りになりたかった。
    I modified the French sentence and notified the owners of the other translations so they can check if the meaning still matches.
  96. Li volis iri al la maro.
    Espi, the meaning of the English sentence is "He wanted to sail the sea", not "he wanted to go the seaside".

    Would you check if the meaning of the Esperanto still match?

    Multan dankon!

    Refer to the discussion with Paul and DQN on the Japanese sentence.
  97. Er wollte zur See fahren.
    Wolf, Pharamp, the meaning of the English sentence is "He wanted to sail on the sea", not "he wanted to go the seaside". Refer to the discussion with Paul and DQN on the Japanese sentence.
  98. Voleva andare al mare.
    Pharamp, the meaning of the English sentence is "He wanted to sail the sea", not "he wanted to go the seaside". Refer to the discussion with Paul and DQN on the Japanese sentence.

  99. Ah les cons, s'ils savaient !
    Edouard Daladier (1938)
  100. おっかない顔をした人
    I think it's not a sentence.
