whats Bik saying on here Alex!!!!!!!!

30 May, 2011

 

I think he might be asking about the smell Yorkie..recognised the word aromatiki! lol! Im guessing cos its all Greek to me!

30 May, 2011

 

Lol Tet, Greek, you are a complete nut case, hey could go on Babel and translate it, no good Just tried and it did nothing,

30 May, 2011

 

tried a couple also...Greek to them too lol!

30 May, 2011

 

I wrote it all down then translated it from Greek to English, normally that site is good but it gave me nothing, how annoying, why can't people speak in english. Lol I hate secret talking,

30 May, 2011

 

I just copied and pasted it, but got the same result

30 May, 2011

 

Right, I am going to email Alex now, watch this space,

For my two curious little cats,

Exact translation:
Just like a little bride.
Next year I am going to have a white aromatic one too.

thank you BF

30 May, 2011

 

You're welcome....you two made me laugh.

30 May, 2011

 

you can see how much hard work we spent trying to find out what Bik was saying, does he/she not speak English,Lol

30 May, 2011

 

So....in the end, nothing was lost in the translation...lol A very beautiful photo of mom's rose too :)

30 May, 2011

 

Thanks Whistonlass. I translated exactly...he could have also meant the type of rose called "nifula".

Yorkie,,,,not everyone is lucky enough to speak and write English. But he does, it's probably a little more personal in Greek.

30 May, 2011

 

he is being secretive, will be trying to chat you up next, won't you be embarrased when you have to translate his chat up line,

30 May, 2011

 

lol...lol....I will just have to lie. ;o)))

30 May, 2011

 

you can't do that, thats naughty, Sticki wants to know what your Moms rose is called, do you know,

30 May, 2011

 

I can be naughty. ;o)))

Sorry guys, I have no idea what the name is. Not much on names over here.

30 May, 2011

 

your hopeless, you will have to ask your mum

30 May, 2011

 

Yorkshire, she won't know. I bought a rose bush a few days ago with no name....I will post picture of the first new bloom....

Alex εξήγησε σε παρακαλώ στα κορίτσια ότι:
''σαν νυφούλα'' περιγράφουμε συνήθως στην Ελλάδα κάτι που είναι στα άσπρα και είναι πολύ όμορφο σαν νύφη,γιατί όλες οι νύφες είναι πολύ όμορφες και φυσικά ντυμένες στα άσπρα.
συγγνώμη που δέν μπορώ να τα περιγράψω όλα αυτά με σωστά Αγγλικά.
ευχαριστώ

sorry bik ~ i cant understand.

3 Jun, 2011

 

OK girls....Bik asked me to translate for him:

The phrase "like a bride" in Greece usually refers to something that is all white and beautiful, because all brides are very beautiful and dressed in white.

He also wrote, sorry for not being able to write all this in proper English. Thank you.

thanks alexandra and thanks bik ~ the greek writing looks very nice!!
