It occurred to me that there are some romlangers on this list whose lang I don't really know yet. Therefore, I'd like to pass around this short translation exercise to get a feel and smell from them (hey, I should coin that as an idiom ;-). Please add an indication of the pronunciation, preferably in X-SAMPA or (even better) as an MP3 clip. 1) This tavern/bar isn't as good as it used to be. 2) What are you doing? I told you to leave them where they were! 3) I would embrace the world if I could. 4) The cat ate the mouse I gave her like a tiger [would]. 5) Yes, I've heard you, and no, I don't want to buy it. 6) Welcome! Here's your room key. -- Thank you. -- You're welcome. 7) Sir, could I please have a glass of water? 8) Your mother was a prostitute. (Or equally insulting idiom.) I'll do them in Jovian eventually. Right now, I don't have my Latin dictionary with me. =P -- Christian Thalmann
