Tof hee de zon schijnt, wat willen we nog meer?


Great or what, the sun is shining, what more do we want?

[kristina]

De zon schijnt hier niet elke dag ...

Misschien ... maar we hebben nog geluk ... met de zomer?

The sun does not shine here everyday ...

Maybe ... but we are lucky ... in the summer?

Zeker weten! Ga me nou niet vertellen dat je Nederlands bent? Miste ik dat dan in je introduktie? Staat niet in je profiel

   


Transl. : for sure. Now don't tell me that you are Dutch? Did I miss that in your intro? It's not in your profile

[kristina]

Hallo Cassandra, ik ben niet het Nederlands, maar de taal, de mensen en de cultuur interesseren me ... Ben je Nederlands?

Hi Cassandra, I'm not Dutch, but the language, people and culture interest me ... Are you Dutch?

[cassandra]

Yup ik ben geboren en getogen Nederlandse. Jouw Nederlands is ongelofelijk goed voor een niet-Nederlandse. Waar ben jij geboren dan?

   

Translation: yup I'm Dutch born, and bred. Your Dutch is pretty amazing for someone whose non-Dutch. Where were you born than?

[galvo]

Ihe dị n'ụwa bụ ndị gị okwu banyere?

What in the world are you about?

[cassandra]

Please Galvo which languages are they?

[kristina]

Yup ik ben geboren en getogen Nederlandse. Jouw Nederlands is ongelofelijk goed voor een niet-Nederlandse. Waar ben jij geboren dan?

   
Yup I was born and bred Dutch. Your Dutch is amazingly good for a non-Dutch. Where were you born then?

My background is somewhat mysterious, because I don't know my father - and my mother died shortly after my birth ...
...My genetic mother comes from a family who managed to escape Russia in 1917 ...
...I grew up as a child with several European languages​​... Italian, French, German, English and a little Dutch,
... unfortunately I forgot most of my language skills because I mainly speak English now ...

Please Galvo which languages are they?

I believe Galvo is asking 'What in the world are you talking about?' in the native tongue of the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria.

Of course, being fluent in conversational Igbo I don't need this site, but it should back up my claims: www.translate.google.com

Where in Holland were you born? I only know Amsterdam a little...

cariad, you clever minx, we must have an Igbo get-together sometime.

Cassandra, my first post was in Albanian, another language that I think cariad is familiar with.

[cassandra]

Lovely so many linguists around here

     

And Kristina, sorry for your tough start in life. But, if your language skills are as good in your other languages as they are in Dutch, you haven't forgotten that much of them 

[dialysisuser82]

Just a thought...hum, many on this forum can speak a few other languages, what do you think as optional to non- English speakers to have questions on this forum?

We can summarize the question in English and who every is fluent in the secondary language can reply.

We would help patients on the international level. 

[nursey66]

I second that  !!!

Thank you Cassandra. Unfortunately I did forget a lot because I hardly ever use my languages now...
... and thanks again for your kind thoughts...

Great idea! Especially as so many are traumatized and feeling lost after being diagnosed with end stage renal failure ...
... and coming across helpful people assisting a little in their own language might help a little...

Ooo, count me in! I will bring some of my sauciest Igbo limericks, and even brush up on my admittedly-rusty Albanian.

Do you think it is okay for those with extra languages skill can post a line so Google search can bring people into this website?

If so, can we all start ?

[kitkatz]

Please place all posts in English.  If you use another language you must provide an English translation.
I have requested that members go back and modify their post in this topic and provide a translation for the primarily English speakers on our forum.

Thank you for completing this request.

I want to see any posts you will put on Google before they are placed on Google.  All posts for IHD.com must be seen by the administrator- kitkatz- so that our site represented Epoman's legacy.
If it is in another language please provide a translation for me.

I do not give anyone permission to post anything on google without clearing it through me -the admin.

I didn't have the privilege of knowing Epoman, but I would be willing to bet that he would jump at the opportunity to have many linguists here to interpret postings so as to reach so many others that do not use the English language.

If everyone could post which language they were willing to do interpretation and reposting, perhaps one day the Mods can set up the different language forums.  This could be a great way of expanding IHD to include those in other Countries that currently do not, or cannot benefit from using IHD simply because of the language barrier.

I also agree with kitkatz, nothing should be posted anywhere without clearing it with Administration.  IHD does have to CYA.

Sorry now that I never took any languages.

[kristina]

Thanks CharlieB53 ..., your suggestion is very sweet...
...On the Continent everyone learns at least two different languages.... and whenever we visit a different country, we learn or speak a different language ...
...whereas in America there is “only” American English and perhaps a little Spanish ... 
... I guess, that is why Epoman kindly set up a site on IHD especially for Spanish-speaking people in ESRF... 
... to make life easier for them, whenever they wish to visit IHD...

I always imagined Epoman as a very kind, humanitarian person. He did see a lot in his time and he also understood ...
... I am certain, that, if he would have felt our little banter about the weather -  in different languages (me in Dutch) - 
Epoman might perhaps have mentioned his reservations (if he had any) very decently and certainly not in a harsh way ..
... After all: most visitors on IHD are in end stage kidney failure and there is no necessity to have harsh words with each other...
... after all, it is the visitors who create an anonymous computer-site whether it is to be a pleasant  site – or not...

In our little banter I wrote - in the Dutch language - that we don’t have much of a summer here (England).
The sun shines very rarely and it does rain a lot – like right now...

Why do I know a little Dutch? I have always thought it fascinating to understand a little of the Dutch language,
because they have – over the centuries - created some of the greatest artists... and not only during the “Dutch Golden Age”...
... I very much love the paintings of Vermeer and I adore the “little twinkle” in the paintings of Frans Hals,
I love the winter-scenes of Avercamp and van de Velde, the paintings of Rembrandt, van Ostade,
Hyronymus Bosch, Ruisdael, Cuyp and many others... A great culture well worth studying...

One of my absolute favourite paintings is the self-portrait by the Flemish painter Anthony van Dyke...
... At one point I travelled all the way to St. Petersburg, to study van Dyke’s wonderful self-portrait in the Hermitage...
