BASIC SLOVENIAN
Depending, on your opinion, the Slovenian, on this page, may be, really, bad

Zdi se, da slovenci ne uporabljajo samostalnik-pridevnikov.   Vprašljivo je, ali lahko rečete "smetnjak dan" v slovenskem.

Apparently Slovenians don't use noun-adjectives, so it is doubtful whether you can say "bin day" in Slovene.

Slovenci nimajo frazni glagoli, zato...

Slovene does not make phrasal verbs, and so...

"Študent so bili urinirajo okoli. Dajem gor"

...ne pomeni isto kot...

...does not mean the same as...

"The students were pissing around.  I give up."

Samo en slovenski narečje ima W.  Šperimentawati so narëd.  Moje domači ne bi razumeli ta slovenski.

Only one Slovenian dialect has a W.  Experiments were made.  My homeboys wouldn't understand this Slovenian.

Množinske lahko zavajajoče:

Plurals can be confusing:

Domači dihur     =       ferret

Domači dihur     =       ferrets

Nimajo člankov, določen ali nedoločen, in lahko določene besede za sodobne stvari ne bodo na voljo:

They don't have definite or indefinite articles, and specific words for modern things may be unavailable:

"He had a car, the car with a horn on the bonnet."

"Je imel avto, avto z rog na pokrovu motornega prostora"

Literally: "He had car, car with horn on cover of engine compartment."

Pa imajo šest sklonov, trije spoli, dvojina, in Neandertalec občutek za čas:

But they do have six cases, three sexes, a dual person, and a Neanderthal sense of time:

By 20 he had bought 20000 lottery tickets. There has to have been a good reason. And there was. He was had.

Do 20 je kupil 20.000 srečk. Tam je, da je bil dober razlog. In tam je bil. Bil je imel.

According to the reverse translation: By 20 he bought 20,000 tickets. There, that was a good reason. And there he was. He was right.

(Opomba benzodiazepam podobnih glajenja vpliva na pomenu, kar kaže, zakaj Slovenci so tako pozitivni).

(Note the benzodiazepam-like smoothing effect on the meaning, suggesting why Slovenians are so positive).

Za dva oseb:

For two people:

By 20 the two of them had bought 20000 lottery tickets. There has to have been a good reason. And there was. They were had.

Do 20 onadva izmed kupil 20.000 srečk. Tam je, da je bil dober razlog. In tam je bil. Bili onadva imeli.

Reverse translation: Up to 20 of the two of them bought 20,000 tickets. There, that was a good reason. And there he was. They had two of them.

Jezikovnih nori klavzule, naslednji primer kaže, kako obrne preprostim angleščina staveka brez klavzulo v eno s tri klavzule v napisal slovenščinem.

Za nekatere nerazložljivega razloga, ste zelo navdušeni, da se dobiva.

For some inexplicable reason you are very excited to meet me.
 

In to ni težko obrniti dva na šest:

And it's not difficult to turn two into six:


 

Če ste mislili, da sem bil kot neverjetno, kot se vam zdi, da bi bilo videti, bi roko v moje hlače, ki jih zdaj

If you thought I was as amazing as you seem to imply, your hand would be in my pants by now

 

Zdaj ste pripravljeni za normalno slovenski stavkov...

You are now ready for normal Slovenian sentences...
 

Slovenščina je koda, kot je BASIC. Približno tako uporabne, in tako priljubljena kot kdaj koli. Tipičen program izglede kot stavek s veliko število vejic, in vezniki, skupaj z prevladujejo, v mnogih bujno stavkih, s tako nereda končnice, z neskončnih binglja sub-klavzule, pogosto veliko število, ne, na kakršen koli način, ki kažejo na jeziku, da izgubil zaključki, ali pa verbalna razmerja, ki so bolj implicitno kot eksplicitno, in čuden pridružena območja, ki jih potrebuje za delo okoli stvari, ki jezika ne naredil, ki zato je splošno le prevarala, na koncu na nek način, ki je pomenljivo pogosto zgolj hvala za opustitvi, in običajno manjši od pol uspešno v lažji prenos smiselne pripovedi prevedene, ali drugače izhaja iz, angleščini, ki v veliki meri ostaja neuporabna dokler slovenci lahko vidite izvirno angleško različico, da preverite, kaj to pomeni.

Slovenian is a code like BASIC. About as useful, and as popular as it has ever been. A typical program looks like a sentence with a huge number of commas, and conjunctions, along with a preponderance, in many rambling sentences, of dangling sub-clauses, often a large number, which is not, in any way, suggestive of a language so cluttered with endings, verbal relationships which are more implied than explicit, and odd dependencies, which it requires to work around the things which it cannot do, that it has to eventually be tricked in some way, revealingly often by omission, into facilitating the conveyance of meaningful narratives, translated or otherwise derived from English, at which it is usually less than half successful, with a result which is unusable until the Slovenians can see the original English version to check what it means.

 

Te vrste kazni se običajno uporabljajo v strašno Pravna Obvestila vlada zagotavlja seznam zakonov, ki jih lahko prejmete od časa do časa, da katerem bo vaš odgovor pravno neveljavna po obdobju prekratko, da bi našli nekoga, ki razume vas in njim.
