I almost never get spam. This topic almost makes me regret it ;) .
> Translation exercises!
Yes. On Conculture and RomanceConlang spam messages comes in from time to time,
and some of us use them immediately as a translation exercise.
This was the last one. I am still deeply grateful to Mr. or Mrs. Flugenvogel
for posting it, although I doubt very much whether a translation exercise was
his or her original intention:
"Find your date from tens of thousands of single millionaires here! "
You don't have to be a millionaire. Free registration."
In Wenedyk:
"Je~wien' swa~ rand£a~ z'miedz' dzieczu milu liwru milionarzy jeczyc!
Nie dziewiesz jeszer milionarz. Rez^ystracion' niep£acibla."
(a~ = a-ogonek, e~ = e-ogonek, £ = l-stroke, n' = n-acutus, z' = z-acutus, z^ =
z-dot)
And because Kerno is always a lust to the eye, I will quote Padraic's version
too:
"Attroupa-te aci ce tew par-amur desamb y milles lor milliwneir di solèz!"
