I'll get my coat!

Donut · 06-23-2003, 05:31 AM

Don't ask me why but I need to get the phrase "I'll get my coat" translated into as many languages as possible. So can you translate it into your own language for me please?

Melusine · 06-23-2003, 05:36 AM

I *wish* we had that phrase in Dutch, I love it!

Anyway, literal translation would be "Ik ga mijn jas pakken" and a translation that keeps in mind the joking nature of the phrase would probably be something like "Ja ja, ik ga mijn jas al halen".

Cristian, Donut asked for actual translations from people who speak the language very well.

Online translators are crap normally, but if you have no knowledge of the language you're translating into, it's even worse. What you probably did was type in "Ill get my coat" "Ill" means sick or 'the sick'. So your German and French translations make no sense at all.

Better wait for Ramon and Moiraine, who are native speakers of resp. German and French.

Moiraine · 06-23-2003, 06:15 AM

Well, Donut Pastrysson, the standard French translation would be "Je vais chercher mon manteau". If however it is a subtitled translation of an obscure expression that you are looking for, you'll just have to explain the original tile first ! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Wow Cristian the "French" translation you got makes no sense at all - even grammatically ! :

That just meant "The defectuosity are obtaining my coat" ...

It's a catchphrase from a comedy programme called "The Fast Show". It is used when someone says something embarrassing or makes a joke that isn't funny. So they get their coat and leave. The actual phrase is "I'll get me coat"

Once again the freedom gnome gets me reaching for the dictionary.

Defectuosity = Great Imperfection.

Used an online translator eh?

I'll = I will = Ich werde - ill = sick = krank

I'll get my coat = Ich werde meinen Mantel holen OR Ich hole meinen Mantel (present expressing near future)
