translation practice #11 (14 Oct 2007)

[hyunwoo]

Can you guys translate this one ?


I took it in a cafe in 광주, not Kenya

[steved]

Going for the fine print again, 설탕 사랑? That can't be it but my eyes, they aren't that good I guess.

[hyunwoo]

It looks like 설탕 사랑, but it's actually written 설탕 시럽

Yep.. basically just some kind of sugar water. Do you use it 현우? I've never tried it.

As far as translating it... any word on a warning system, so that we don't ruin it for each other?.. Until then, I'll just try to leave a vague response based on my understanding of the sign..

I would like to see a sign like this at the dirty 짜장면 shops!!

It's always one little part of the sentence that makes it too difficult. I can understand all of it but one word (and one I had to look up, but)... I don't understand why it says "오니" after "컵이".

I agree that 짜장면 places need to be cleaner!!
And as for the syrups, I don't like it either.

And for the translating part, I'm afraid I didn't really understand your question.

Oh, 컵이오니 is a very polite way of saying 컵이니까 or 컵이므로 or 컵이기 때문에.

For example, handouts from school to the students' parents will have that suffix quite often, like 알려드리오니(we're informing you, so...) or 시작되오니(it will begin, so...)

"Because these cups are washed after each use, you can use them without worrying."

We just don't want to ruin the fun when the first responder translates the sign. But I suppose a better solution would be for the users to scroll carefully so they only see your picture before they read any of the answers!
