Subject: назначение о встрече! что за say 15.30 Что такое это за say? Так принято договариваться о времени??Первый раз такое встречаю, если честно, или это какой-то оборот, вроде профессионального слнга Договариваются о встрече Monday ХХth August in the afternoon, say 15:30, ну и там бла-бла-бла, скажите удобно ли вам? |
|
"скажем, в" "примерно в" |
| скажем, в is the best way to translate this one |
|
"типааа..." очень профессиональный сленг :))) |
|
What if I translated it without "скажем, в", is it TOO bad? :)))) |
| Предположительно в... |
|
*What if I translated it without "скажем, в", is it TOO bad? :))))* именно так и надо. |
|
не уверен, но say 15.30 очень отдает русицизмом как в старом анекдоте ("such much -- to whom how...) |
|
layman say, 15:30 is russian because in english you say "say, 3:30" |
| layman, Вы зря так думаете |
|
2 Nina Ok! i'm not a native speaker sorry for that comment |
|
Layman IT'S OK! I'M NOT UPSET! RELAX! IT WAS JUST FOR YOUR INFO! :) |
|
2Nina79 thanks now i'll know it |
|
спасибо! Теперь буду знать. Is it formal way? Is it possible to say *about*? .....about 15:30 |
|
key more formal = around 3:30 (remember, if you are writing in English, you want to say 3:30 and not 15:30) |
|
2layman It's a parenthetical expression, a contraction of "shall we say" and is used as such. When, where, how, who etc. В русском языке - совершенно независимо употребляется такая же вводная конструкция. Around 3.30 is by no means formal. However, at approximately 3.30 pm is. |
|
2 althea now i've got it |
|
To Nina79 but the way 15:30 is the way they, i mean English people, used in their letter, (not 3:30) But anyway, I believe you, and I always listen to you and what you tell other people here ))))) |
|
key they must be British and don't believe EVEYTHING i say. i can be wrong and frequently admit when i am. i am not an expert and not a professional translator. i am just a super enthusiastic american living in the big pink country on the other side of the world (and happen to be stuck working in a bank where i am often forced to translate, what for me are, really boring financial things |
| thank you, Nina79 |
|
Girls, Watch out for layman |
|
Levitan why? is he a virtual stalker? |
| Yes. And a quite dangerous one. |
| Really? well he doesn't know where I live, so I hope I will be ok. |
|
So where do you live? where do you keep your money? |
|
2 Levitan what????? who am I? i don't even know what it is could you explain? i started to use this forum 3 days ago and you are trying to accuse me Why?? |

Levitan, как Вам не стыдно пугать слабую женщину |
|
Sorry, dude! I was just playing around after finishing a very difficult assignment. No hard feelings. It was only a joke. I just found your screenname kinda amusing and decided to accuse you of something. Nina, I got ur address now. Expect by noon 2morrow |
| кто-нибудь может объяснить ыто такое virtual stalker |
|
Layman, Это такой человек, который терроризирует людей в инете. Преследует их на разных ветках и говорит всякие гадости. Вы не такой? |
|
Levitan а что? был замечен? |
|
Levitan, хотя к слову "Сталкер" после стругацких отношусь положительно |
|
Как говорил старый Мистер Огбёрн, директор моей школы: "I don't have to proove, I only need to suspect" )) |
|
Levitan I'll be waiting with my pepper spray :) |
|
Layman, А после Тарковского? |
|
2Скай спасибо за ссылку многое прояснила теперь для меня Stalker и Сталкер разные вещи |
|
Nina, I am a big Tabasco fan, so I'll be delighted )) |
|
layman *хотя к слову "Сталкер" после стругацких отношусь положительно* Похвально, но с английским stalker будьте очень осторожны. |
| предпочитаю книги |
| всем огромное спасибо и за "say 3:30" и за virtual stalker!!! |
|
Levitan :) then i wil have to bust out the wasabi spray |
|
Nina, I'm a big sushi & japanese cuisine fan..... So I'll be delighted |
| hahaha! yeah i love sushi too but im not so sure you want wasabi in your eye :) |
|
I surely don't. Unless I do :) |
