- 아무렇지 않은 척 - it means " pretending it's nothing and that you don't care about something" 웃어넘기기엔 - it means just laugh about something and shake it off. - 점점 더 아무렇지 않은 척 웃어넘기기엔 : It's getting hard to pretend that I don't care about something and just play cool and laugh it off (cuz I care about something or it's getting on my nerve, etc) -------------------- I hope it helps!0 votedFebruary 15, 20190
- Could you check my grammar, plz? That is why I tried to improve the quality of the translation for you. I wasn't sure whether should I share this ini file with you or not, because it felt like it's not my place to say something about your game and you may have some experts working for you. Plus, I initially translated it just for me and some of my Korean friends who are also patrons of this game as well. I hesitated for some time because I was worried imagining some bad situations like "if they have a translator it could hurt their feelings." Still, I decided to send this email as support from a fan of your game :) These are some examples of the improvement that I made... I didn't list everything, but I tried to write down some of the corrections that I made. Example 1. "gold ingot" / itemName24 - original translation : 괴금 - mistyped, non-existing word Example 2. "inspecting mirrors is a job i*could easily see myself doing" / dialogueEngineer6 - original translation: "거울을 확인하는 일은 나 자신이 무엇을 하고 있는지 쉽게 볼 수 있는 일이야." -> means " looking at the mirror is an easy way to see what I'm doing right now (or what my gesture I'm posing)" - I thought the meaning of the translation is a little different from what the idiom means (at least in my opinion :) Example 3. / "have one of each gem*in your inventory" / featDesc3 - original translation: "가방에 보석을 종류별로 하나씩 가지고 있는다" - The verb's tense was incorrectly used. Example 4. " I need to ask you for*a very small donation..." / dialogueFairyQueen2 - original translation: "네게 아주 소정의 후원을 청하고자 한다…" - the wording of this sentence is very awkward and doesn't make sense... Example 5. "itemName186~194", "statDesc0~3", etc. - I'm not too sure whether there was a technical reason for it or not, but I found some incomplete sections, so I translated them. Again, I just wanted to share this with you as a support and did not mean to hurt anyone's feeling and you don't have use my suggestions! I hope one day you can upgrade the language support function so that it won't take away from the pleasant gaming experience. ------------------------------------------ I wanted to write in a polite and cautious manner and do not want to offend or hurt anyone's feeling. Plus, I'm worried about my grammar as always. Could you help me, please?February 13, 201910
- Could you help me sending an email? < Quality of Translation > Hello, I'm a long time follower and just became a patron of this game. I love the concept and artwork of Forager so much! When I checked the Steam page, and among many interesting news, one of the things that drew my attention was the language support. I was excited to see the game has a Korean option. Sooo, I tried it right away. I haven't played it very far, about level 10, but I could tell the quality of translation was not something I expected. The game experience was awesome and I loved the game but sadly, the Korean option was not one of the reasons. While I very appreciate your effort to add various language options, unfortunately,, it felt like google translation to me (in a bad way).... There are some mistyped words and awkward translations that made me confused. For example, some of the basic materials such as iron ingots and gold ingots were mistyped and took me a second to recognize what that word trying to say. NPCs dialogs felt very out of place, like speaking in Middle English in one sentence and then Modern language in the next sentence. Tense and sentence structure was awkward and confusing as well which is why I gave up on the Korean option and switch back to the English option. It was okay with me because I was going to play in English and I was just trying out Korean option out of curiosity. However, I wish the game has a better quality of translation support so that I can recommend this game to my friends in Korea. I know Forager is still on development and I assume an improvement in language options would not be dev team's propriety for now. I just wanted to share this comment here, hoping one day you can upgrade language support function, so that it won't take away the pleasant gaming experience. Thank you for the great game! --------------------------------------------------------------- When I try to say language option or Korean translation. Do I use a or the in front of them...? I searched online but it's still quite confusing... I would appreciate your help!February 1, 201950
- a and the - name of the game...??? :'( I just bought a new DLC and I think it is the coolest thing ever! I immediately began exploring but the trading system was a little confusing. It was me, trying to remember all the gifts for Stardeww Valley all over again LOL. There is a Wiki page that is dedicated for Hamlet DLC, but it was quite a hassle to constantly searching through different pages. So, these are what I made. I'm not sure whether anyone would want to use these, but if you are, feel free to use them! ================= Thank you for reading this post and helping me. I was wondering do I use "the" or "a" in front of the name of the game DIC or not. My guess was not to use because a game title is kind of name, but wasn't too sure.... Also, if you don't mind could you teach me a better way to say the last sentence? I feel like it is kinda weird but didn't know how to rephrase it. Thank you again, my dear!January 25, 201930
- I'm trying to reply to a question about a book we read together 😨 After I read a book, I'm having a discussion with my online friends :) "Please call me Thea, Latte is something I added too avoid having a same nickname XD. As for your question, ummm... I don't think Maisie was too perfect. I would describe her as 'well-trained ' rather than 'too perfect.' While Maisie presented a calm demeanor and good investigating techniques for the most part, her mind drifted time to time when something reminded her of Simon. She missed her old tutor and the confort that she felt as a student since she needed to learn how to run her own business. Also, Maisie was anxious for Billy which made her glued near the phone. Speacially after I read her childhood stories, I could relate to her confusion between different dofferent social classes. Plus, Maisie had a best teacher to train and sharpen her intuition and investigation skills which trained her to be more reasonable and well-organized. Basically, I thought she was way well put together than certain Holmes, but I didn't think that she was perfect. I wonder which part of the book made you think that Maisie was too perfect. I did miss something..? :) " ============================== Thank you so much for reviewing my writing :)January 17, 201930
- Past or present tense when youare taking about a book's stroyline.....😢😢😢 It was my first book from a "Maisie Dobbs" series and I loved it. The story followed a series of events that Maisie encounters as she opens a private investigation office in London after world war I. Jacqueline Winspear, the author of the series, did a fantastic job of describing the cruelty of war and conflicts between different social classes through Maisie's point of view. I think it was very cleverly done how he presented the soldiers and their families' unhealed scars from war through Maisie's investigation job which she started after 10 years since the war ended. It's quite sad that so many young and inocent people had to encounter such a horror. The story was told in a soft and quiet manner which helped me to fully dive into the story. I think because the author avoided using exaggeration and intense words, the story felt more real to me, and the character development was more convincing. Through Maisie's childhood, her first investigation, and the description of other people from Maisie's perspective, the author successfully delivered the life in London around 1920s. Plus, I listened to the audiobook whilst I read the book and it was amazing! I definitely enjoyed VA's acting and her singing. I'm more than willing to pick up the next book from the series LOL. I'm so glad you've chosen this book for our buddyreading of this month. ========================================================= Hello, thank you for helping me with grammar :) I'm always little confused which tense should I use when I'm talking about a book. Should I use past tense or present tense when I am describing the story..? Thank you!January 17, 2019100

3.그녀는 갑자기 옛 친구를 만나서 멍해졌어요.

Perfect!----------------
Hello, I think you did an amazing job :)
0 votedJanuary 9, 20191짧은 이야기 #107 ~ 여자친구
ㅂ: You free on Friday?
ㅁ: yeah, you wanna come over?
ㅂ: Yeah. I was worried you wouldn't have time, you seem real busy lately
ㅁ: totally. i'm glad that you (said) are coming over. I really missed you
ㅂ: same here. so, i will see you on Friday. I'll grab some some food on the way.
ㅂ:금요일에 시간 있나어?ㅁ:응, 있어. 우리집에 오고 싶어놀러올래? *1
ㅂ:네. 시간이 없을까 봐 요즘 바쁜 것 같아(요즘 바쁘신것 같아서 시간이 없을까봐 걱정했어요.) *2
ㅁ:그러시구나. 내가 오다니 기분 좋아. 정말 보고 싶어. (그랬구나. 네가 오면 기쁠거야. 정말 보고 싶었어)
ㅂ:나도 그래. 그럼 금요일에 봐. 밥 사고서 가져갈게 (집에 가는 길에 밥을 살게)
읽고 수정해 주셔서 감사합니다*1 - "놀러올래?" would be a more natural expression. In Korean idiom, they are not really asking to come over, but more of confirming what 'ㅁ' wants to do.
*2 - since you started the sentence with "네", I tried to translate continued sentences with 존댓말 as well.----------------------------------
Hello! It was very really well written. I was just a little confused about the respected words(존댓말), since both of the speakers used 존댓말 on some sentences and stopped in others. Overall, I had no problem understanding what both of them wanted to tell. I hope it helps and let me know if you have a further question :)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++< 1/11 >
Hey, Matty. Plz don't hesitate to ask me any question! I know how frustrating grammar can be since I'm currently struggling with English and Chinese. LOL
1. 반말 and 존댓말
ㅂ:금요일에 시간있나?
- Technically, it is a 반말 expression, but we don't really use this way of wording. I will go over "~나요" later. Below would be my suggestions of 반말 and 존댓말.
- 금요일에 시간있어? / 금요일에 시간 있으시나요? or 있으세요?
ㅁ: 응, 있어. 우리집에 오고싶어?
- It is a 반말 sentence! You did a great job. One small thing is that I know 'come over' is a common expression in English, and I think "놀러올래?" would be an expression that matches 'come over' in Korea.
People will understand what you meant, but 오고싶어 would be a little too literal translation.ㅂ:네. 시간이 없을까봐 요즘 바쁜 것 같아
- 네. is a 존댓말 but the rest of the sentences were written in 반말 :)
ㅁ: 그러시구나. 내가 오다니 기분좋아. 정말 보고싶어.
- Same here. only 그러시구나 is a 존댓말. Also, I believe you meant to type '네가(you are)' instead of '내가(I am ).' ;)
ㅂ:나도 그래. 그럼 금요일에 봐. 밥 사고 가져갈게.
- It's a 반말 sentence. Although they are grammatically correct, they don't roll off the tongue easily. For "I'll grab some food on the way." I would say, "가는 길에 먹을거 or 밥 사갈게. "
2. "~나요"
- ~나요 is a 존댓말 expression, but it's a little uncommon to use it in a regular conversation.
- a basic form of "~나요" would be '~나' which is a 반말 expression that implies "a question." ------> 밥 먹었나 = did you eat?
However, ~나 is a quite rare form of wording because it hints a strict relationship: it implies a large gap of social status between the speaker and the listener.I think pretty much the only place using ~했나 expression on a regular basis is a military when a higher ranking officers talks to the newbies or lower ranking soldiers.
Or, grandparents asking something to their grandchildren in a dialect.- So, let's go back to '`~나요." I think it implies stronger respect than "~어요." sentence. I would prefer using ~세요 or ~하셨어요.
3. "~다니"
- umm... sorry but could you elaborate the question a bit more? There are several idioms with ~다니 expression and I am not too sure which one is the one you mentioned.
