Round

Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter Ok guys, sorry for the delay
The next round is slightly unique...
ready for the most difficult language in the world??
As I said before, I'll allow google translate in this round.
the language is :
ENGLISH

and there you go, the next phrase is in the video:

Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter Christian James Meredith
I guess the literal meaning might be:
Do as much as you can do when you have the opportunity because tomorrow you might not have the chance anymore.
maybe....
Alfia Wallace
Alfia Wallace Diabolical..
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Malin Elisabeth Nilsson: Good luck on your German lesson!

Kevin Long: Yes I am, but I usually would just say I am half-machine, leave the race part out :)

Vincensiu Denis: I do speak Hokkien (very limited vocabulary). And because of living in Kuala Lumpur (default Chinese language is Cantonese), I picked up few phrases, mostly food-related :)
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo When I saw the YouTube link and allowing Google Translate, I have the sensation that it's going to be a sign language! Now I have to scry for sign language material...

Anybody has any idea what language that strange looking guy in the video might be signing?

Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Here's what we need to beat this round :D
http://sprogspelet.arwi.im/20130827-091248/
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo The subtitle will show:
[sign1] [sign2] [sign3] [sign4] [sign5] [sign6] [sign7] [sign8] [sign9] [sign10]
So we can dechiper it as text :)
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo I think sign5 means no/not?
Malin Elisabeth Nilsson
Malin Elisabeth Nilsson Sign 10: Good bye? :D
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo If that's correct, then it's not American Sign Language (ASL), because this is how to sign goodbye in ASL http://lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-signs/g/goodbye.htm
Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку Oh, vuck me.
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Sign10 looks like "name" in Australian Sign Language
http://www.signplanet.net/SubTools/SubSignSingle.asp?SignID=539
Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку If my research through his channel doesn't fail me, that's Australian sign Language.
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo But not exactly the same, because Vincensiu Denis didn't do "rotating hand at wrist so that fingers end pointing forward"
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Ahh.. Yeah, should have seen his feed :P
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo According to http://youtu.be/5XwP-WULvr8, sign4 means working
Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку Yep, n.4 is "work: http://www.auslan.org.au/dictionary/words/work-1.html
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo And sign5 doesn't mean what I thought
Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку And n.5 might be "not", although the other signs (as well as those for "no") are quite different: http://www.auslan.org.au/dictionary/words/not-1.html
Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith Wow, Auslan. 'STRAYA, F*** YEAH.
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Yeah, I checked that site for "no", "not", "but", and none of them looks like sign5
Malin Elisabeth Nilsson
Malin Elisabeth Nilsson If its australian, the first thing that came to mind when I saw sign 10 will be my next geuss: Good day mate! Hahaha :)
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo :D worth a check
Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку N.6, 7 and 8 are possibly related?
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Nope, I can't find entry for good day mate (or any parts of it) in auslan.org.au
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Sign3, sign6, sign8 seems to be the same thing (rubbing thumb on right chest), but sign7 is different (using other fingers)
Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith There is no need for a sign for "g'day mate". One merely stares into the soul of the listener/watcher and they can feel the warm greeting telepathically instead.

BTW, for what it's worth, you guys probably have a better chance at getting this than me. 'STRAYA.
Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку N.2 is "good night", I think: http://www.auslan.org.au/dictionary/words/Good%20night-1.html
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Or just night http://www.auslan.org.au/dictionary/words/night-1.html
Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку The sign for "night" is spelled higher than the one in the video, though. Almost neck-high.
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo I would say it's more similar to night than good night, but let's keep both in mind
Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку Alright, for the sake of sanity I'll just assume n.10 is "see ya, mate", even if it isn't.
Malin Elisabeth Nilsson
Malin Elisabeth Nilsson Im going to school now! Good luck! Au revoir!
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Malin Elisabeth Nilsson, thanks, auf wiedersehen
Malin Elisabeth Nilsson
Malin Elisabeth Nilsson Auf wiedesehen! :D
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter I'm Baaaaaack....
sign 3, 6 and 8 are the same sign, and I just realise that there are other variation for this sign. The source that I got taught me to use thumb, but some videos in youtube uses point finger instead :S
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter sign 2 is night. that's correct

Дайте Нефть Из Баку No it's not good night, I recorded this using my mobile phone and the camera wasn't straight up vertically so the position of the sign might a bit off unfortunately :s

sign 5 is not "no"
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo sign4 is work, yes?
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter yup
2= night
4= work
Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку Sign 3/6/8 can't possibly be "I", can it?
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Sign7 is tired http://www.auslan.org.au/dictionary/words/tired-1.html
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter Дайте Нефть Из Баку Да. 3/6/8 = Я
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Eh? Wait, sign7 means "I", not "tired"?
Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку Looks like "tired", though.
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter ok, good work guys!!
now guessing will be sufficient enough to decipher the rest of the code!!
no.
7 is tired
5 is NOT "no" it has other meaning
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo I think Vincensiu Denis means 3 6 8 means I
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Let's see what we have so far.....
[sign1] night I work [sign5] I (am) tired I [sign9] [sign10]
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo sign5 might mean boss/bossy
http://www.auslan.org.au/dictionary/words/boss-2.html
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter incorrect.
Arief. How did you find out that sign 4 = work?
4- work indeed, but you also have missed something important from Laura's video
hint" watch the first minute of the video closely?
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo I found out from Laura's video :D
I am rewatching......
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Sign1 is lollies?
Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку Sign 10 is "sleep". N.9 looks like "go", but it's done with the hand instead of the point finger.
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter Christian James Meredith Did you quit this round because it's too easy for you
Arief Wibowo No, not lollies, and my sentence won't make sense then "lollies night I work?" lol
keep replaying the video. there was a hidden giveaway in the first 30 sec of Laura's video hahaha
Дайте Нефть Из Баку yes, 10 is sleep. 9 is not go
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Awesome, Дайте Нефть Из Баку! I missed that although I have seen sleep before..
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo sign9 is want http://www.auslan.org.au/dictionary/words/want-1.html
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo [sign1] night I work [sign5] I (am) tired I want (to) sleep
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo I think I know where this is headed
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sign5 is today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter 1 more sign to go...
and Arief, since you know me personally, this should be sooooo easy for you :p
Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку So [sign 1] is something like "although, even if"?
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo [sign1] night I work, today I (am) tired, I want (to) sleep
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter Дайте Нефть Из Баку Nope, still incorrect :)
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter btw, why nobody was utilising the privileges of using google translate :p
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Because we would need a Kinect to recognize gestures
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo I tried "last" "each" "every" "previous" "yesterday" "tomorrow", none of them looks like sign1
Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку This, and I also made a vow never to use Google Translate anymore.
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo A ha! It's actually yesterday (but page 2) http://www.auslan.org.au/dictionary/words/yesterday-2.html

Yesterday/last night I worked, today I (am) tired, I want (to) sleep
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter YAAAY
We have got a winner!!!
Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку Why is one version pointing forward and the other backward?
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Pointing forward is listed as Southern Dialect, backward is Northern Dialect
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo I suppose this is one of those cases where a word in a dialect could mean something totally different it's neighbor's
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter I presume the sign that I am using is valid only in certain states, see the picture underneath the video (from Arief's link) showing different areas was highlighted for each videos,
also both signs got slightly different meaning.
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Don't worry, next round wouldn't involve multimedia :P
Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку Makasih!
