Palabras que no tiene traducción en ingles (parte 3)

È finalmente arrivato l’inverno e questo fine settimana Jimmy ha deciso di andare a fare spese. A Venezia il tempo è molto umido e freddo. Ogni mattina, quando Jimmy apre la finestra, c’è un sacco di nebbia. Prima di uscire indossa vestiti pesanti: cappello, sciarpa, guanti, maglione, scarpe impermeabili (perché a Venezia c’è sempre un po’ di acqua per le strade) e il cappotto.
Questa mattina è uscito di casa per andare in un negozio di abbigliamento. Appena entra la commessa gli chiede:
“Buongiorno, desidera?”
“Buongiorno, vorrei comprare un maglione caldo.”
“Di che materiale lo vuole?” chiede ancora lei.
“Mi piacerebbe un maglione di lana.”
“Che taglia porta?” gli domanda la commessa.
“Porto la M” risponde Jimmy.
La ragazza va a prendere alcuni maglioni di lana di colori e modelli diversi. Jimmy ne sceglie 3 e poi domanda dove sono i camerini.
Jimmy va nei camerini per provare i tre maglioni. La commessa gli chiede “Come le stanno?” e Jimmy risponde: “Il maglione blu è troppo largo. Il maglione rosso è troppo stretto. Il maglione verde invece mi sta benissimo. Lo compro.”
Jimmy va alla cassa per pagare. “Quant’è?” domanda.
“Sono cinquanta euro. Paga con la carta o in contanti?”
“Pago in contanti. Ecco a lei.” Jimmy paga, saluta e felice va via.

Grammar Point: The verb (to be) boodan
While reading the Conversation, you might have wondered why the counterpart of the English verb “is” in Farsi (ast )
had different forms in different places. For instance, when Nasrin introduced her husband to her mom, she said, In
Dānieleh (This is Daniel). In another place, Nasrin asked her mom, Farzād kojāst? (Where is
Farzad?).
Like English, Farsi also uses both full and contracted forms of the verb to be. In English, we can say, “I am happy,” “Jane is
beautiful,” and “You are smart,” or we can contract the verb and say, “I’m happy,” “Jane’s beautiful,” and “You’re smart.” In
the same way, Nasrin used contracted forms of the be-verb.
Like most Indo-European languages, Farsi verbs are conjugated. Conjugation means that speakers attach endings to verbs
that provide information about the person, number, and tense of a verb. In Farsi, very often pronouns are omitted from
sentences because the verb endings imply the pronoun.

more examples:

مُعَلِّمَم=معلمم   moallemam = moallem hastam = I'm a teacher.
دُکتُری= دکتری؟  Doctori?        = Doctor hasti?        = are you a doctor?
تاجِره= تاجره       Tajere            = Tajer hast              = he's/she's a business(wo)man.
خُوشحالیم = خوشحالیم   khosh'halim =khosh'hal hastim= we're happy.
ناراحَتین؟= ناراحتین          narahatin? = narahat hastin? = are you unhappy?
تو راهَن؟= تو راهن؟         tu rahan? = tu rah hastan? = are they on the way?

The verb (to be) boodan = بودن

Het Nederlands is niet altijd even gemakkelijk te vertalen naar een andere taal. Het meest bekende voorbeeld is misschien het woord ‘gezellig’ waarvoor in het Engels wel eventueel ‘cosy’ gebruikt kan worden, maar niet in elke context. In de aflevering van vandaag gaan we kort spreken over een ander moeilijk te vertalen woord, namelijk ‘gunnen’.

Onvertaalbaar Nederlands: Gunnen

🐷Los tres cerditos🐷

Había una vez tres cerditos que decidieron construir sus propias casas. El primero, perezoso pero rápido, hizo su casa de paja; el segundo, un poco más cuidadoso, usó madera; y el tercero, el más trabajador, construyó su casa con ladrillos. Un día, el lobo feroz llegó y sopló con fuerza la casa de paja, derribándola en segundos. El cerdito corrió a la casa de su hermano, pero el lobo también sopló y destruyó la de madera. Desesperados, los dos huyeron a la casa del tercer cerdito.

El lobo intentó soplar con todas sus fuerzas, pero la casa de ladrillos no se movió. Frustrado, intentó entrar por la chimenea, sin saber que el cerdito más astuto había encendido un caldero de agua hirviendo. Cuando el lobo cayó dentro, salió disparado y huyó, prometiendo nunca volver. Los tres cerditos celebraron su victoria y aprendieron que el esfuerzo y la dedicación siempre valen la pena.
