So, once again I'll continue my lovely hobby:
- kitsunekoshojo.deviantart.com/journal/A-Finn-writing-pronounced-English-227782340
I love to imagine how English would look like, if a Finnish person, who can't speak any English, would write it down by just how s/he heard it. So, now I'm playing "non-English-speaker Finn" once again, just for fun
This time I've taken the sentences from random videos on YouTube.
Rules:
- All the participants will get their icons, competition points (x/10), and three of their gallery works chosen by me, added to this journal.
- I'll write a critique for one of the works I've chosen from your gallery, if you know from which videos one of the sentences is from - Please ANSWER BY SENDING ME A NOTE so that others will not see your answer!
Tips:
- Try to figure out, what was heard, and what it possibly could be in English.
- If the sentences make no sense, try to read them out loud! Notice, that "y" is written with letter "j" in Finnish. Yoghurt (eng) = jogurtti (fin). The sound for English "j" doesn't exist in Finnish, so I just have to try to replace it with a mix of other letters.
- In English accent the emphasis and pauses come in different places on sentence than in Finnish, so for a Finn it would sound that there's only one word when there sometimes actually is two.
- The sentences I used really are crazy, so don't worry if they doesn't make too much sense ;]
Let's start!
1. Aim gointu plei onlain pouker.
2. Vii spiik tuu langvitsiis atliist.
3. Sou tudei aim gointu sou juu hau tu tai ei tai.
4. Ju smailin. Vai ju smailin?
5. Juunou vat? Juu tuu sud tsust gou nekst doo an lettis gööl sing, aim bii-in sirios. Kamoon, of juu gou, liiv te teibl.
6. Sou beisikli, vat vii är luukin ät, is ä poteitou kriim suup aiskriim.
7. Hai! Aim hängri, än ai niid tu meik juu ö vidiou. Sou lets meik bout!
8. Itsa komon ösampson, tät te masiins tat pauer our laivs, vere inventid bai as in modn taims. Bat is tis truu?
9. Ti industri dasnt vant juu tu nou te truuf abaut vat jur iitin, bikas, if ju nuu, juu mait not vanna iit it.
10. Teres nou vei. Hissou skini. It dasnt meik sens.
Good luck everybody! :bademoticon:

Silvereye12: 8/10, well done! There three of her works:3.
Lynkusu: 7/10, sugoii!
There's three interesting works of her. I'd like to mention, seeing her "If all langueges were weird dialects of English" encouraged me to make another "Finn writing English" competition, after long time ;D
