Languages and Culture Pen-pals (b.jp pals) ^_^

The concept is to write a letter in a different language must state the language so we can all be pen pals. Rather bad aren't I? I thought it would be fun. I did this a while ago it was rather fun.

People can either translate, respond to the letter, or write their own. Lets have fun now. No letters in English unless you translate.

I never have taken Spanish...I know very little Spanish. Most of it was guess work based on my knowledge of French and the penpal letters that I wrote in grade school French class.

 

Perfect translation

Hola, my nombre es Alan. Tengo dieciseis anos, y quire saber qual es el punto de esta thread (don't know how to say thread in spanish...)

According to this dictionary it was supposed to be hazel.

Hello, my name is Alan. I am 16 years old and what is the point of this thread (rough translation at the end).

The point is to be Pen-pals and write letters in a different language so others can translate. Most of the people here are pretty young and they shouldn't be giving out their address to other people especially over the internet. It would be too easy to write in English plus I had fun when I did it for school in my Spanish class (did everyone do it). I would like to try and translate a different language other then the ones I speak. It is a way to get to know members but through a different language. Is that understandable enough or should I elaborate more?

 

Ehehehehhehehehhehehe...


Letter in SWEDISH

Letter

Hejsan, själv heter jag Tianlin och är på årton år. För tillfället är jag brutalt upptagen med mina studier på KTH, och det känns som att jag har ingen fritid. Men det är ett linje som jag har valt själv så det får jag tåla.

Jag vet att alla ni här visar stöd och omtänksamhet till mig så att jag kan klara av det, och jag tackar er för den stryka ni har gett mig.

Aja, jag hoppas att ni kan förstå vad jag har skrivit för snart tänker jag kila iväg och plugga mera matte. Ha det gött allesammans!

I have never spoken Swedish in my life but I did try to translate. Teddz I am sorry if a I kill it to much.

Hello, My name is Tianlin (or I am to be called*something like that) and I am at 18 years. At the moment I am brutally occupied with my studies at KTH, and feel as that I have no leisure time (or spare time). But that is the catch (or snag) line some I have chosen for myself so that I should (* I translated sheep here for some reason*) endure.

I know you all here show support and (?) so to I can clear off that, and I thank you to that (support?) you have given me. (with out the omtänksamhet it makes no sense translated)

(?), I hope you can understand how I have written too speedy imagine I ran away and plug more maths. Have the (fertilize?) everyone.

Teddz

Wow that is bad. But I tried.

 

Ah the likes of babbelfish. Almost correct.

 

Does omtänksamhet mean foresight?
And Aja means groan?

I know you all here show support and foresight so to I can clear off that, and I thank you for the support you have given me.

I doubt aja is correct.

 

"Aja" is a swedish term for " Oh well ... "

Omtänksamhet = consideration
Gött = Slang for "Gott" which means "good"
