It's a question...

Espi Espi 11 de desembre de 2011 11 de desembre de 2011 a les 1:46:41 UTC flag Report link Enllaç permanent

Really? I don't think so.

Eldad Eldad 11 de desembre de 2011 11 de desembre de 2011 a les 1:59:24 UTC flag Report link Enllaç permanent

It *is* a question.

It wouldn't be a question if there had been a first part to the sentence. For instance:
He doesn't know how old that dog is.

Eldad Eldad 11 de desembre de 2011 11 de desembre de 2011 a les 2:02:28 UTC flag Report link Enllaç permanent

But, if it were a question, it should have been phrased differently:
How old is that dog?

So, as it stands now, something is wrong with this particular variant.

Shishir Shishir 11 de desembre de 2011 11 de desembre de 2011 a les 2:02:56 UTC flag Report link Enllaç permanent

Eldad, and couldn't this be an exclamation?

Shishir Shishir 11 de desembre de 2011 11 de desembre de 2011 a les 2:03:51 UTC flag Report link Enllaç permanent

How old this dog is! (I say this because the Polish sentence indirectly linked to this sentence has an exclamation mark)

Eldad Eldad 11 de desembre de 2011 11 de desembre de 2011 a les 2:04:06 UTC flag Report link Enllaç permanent

Yes, indeed!
So, the period would have to be replaced with an exclamation mark.

Espi Espi 11 de desembre de 2011 11 de desembre de 2011 a les 2:04:28 UTC flag Report link Enllaç permanent

But astonished I can state: "How old that dog is."

Eldad Eldad 11 de desembre de 2011 11 de desembre de 2011 a les 2:05:07 UTC flag Report link Enllaç permanent

(yes! I didn't see your comment about the exclamation mark - replied before I saw your other comment).

Espi Espi 11 de desembre de 2011 11 de desembre de 2011 a les 2:07:01 UTC flag Report link Enllaç permanent

Yes, perhaps it'll be better with "!"

Eldad Eldad 11 de desembre de 2011 11 de desembre de 2011 a les 2:07:14 UTC flag Report link Enllaç permanent

Espi, you couldn't say that with a period at the end of the sentence. You say that yourself - you're astonished :) So, being astonished, would only a period suffice to express your feeling? :)

Espi Espi 11 de desembre de 2011 11 de desembre de 2011 a les 2:13:27 UTC flag Report link Enllaç permanent

I've already changed my sentence. Thanks for the explanation ;)

alexmarcelo alexmarcelo 11 de desembre de 2011 11 de desembre de 2011 a les 2:25:05 UTC flag Report link Enllaç permanent

Can you see the French translation? I know they are linked...

Eldad Eldad 11 de desembre de 2011 11 de desembre de 2011 a les 2:29:45 UTC flag Report link Enllaç permanent

The French variant cannot be seen here. Are they really linked?

alexmarcelo alexmarcelo 11 de desembre de 2011 11 de desembre de 2011 a les 2:31:25 UTC flag Report link Enllaç permanent

Yes! Look at the logs...

Eldad Eldad 11 de desembre de 2011 11 de desembre de 2011 a les 2:32:48 UTC flag Report link Enllaç permanent

Yes, you're right. But it was unlinked (I guess it was unlinked because it underwent a change, from a question to an exclamation... :-))

alexmarcelo alexmarcelo 11 de desembre de 2011 11 de desembre de 2011 a les 2:39:33 UTC flag Report link Enllaç permanent

Ahh, you're right! Thank you! :)
