Nah, a bit different system of voting and qualification. It's more of an institution in Sweden.

Arief Wibowo Vincensiu Denis, Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Real Språkspelers/Sprogspelers would (or at least: should) know when there's a new round anyway, there is not much need to tag people as long as you give the new link to previous thread

Victor Wåhlstrand Skärström Of course it's Yiddisch, Jonathan is here. I've forgotten how to read the script, but it didn't look like Hebrew at all.

Except in Victor Wåhlstrand Skärström's round, but then sometimes we still do it

Jonathan Fleury Maria that's great! Do you have trouble when Yiddish speakers write without putting in the vowel/consonant marks (i.e. טאג not טאָג), or can you cope with this?
Arief Wibowo Ta-da!
[dian] [mzl], [gaat], [vvaas] [dv] [vvvynst] [aazvy] [hvyk]; [aanyt] [vvaalt] [m'en] [dyr] [dy] [pa'entst'er] [avysg'ez'etst]
I would start by guessing mzl → mazel (Hebrew) "fortune" and gaat "go/get"
[dian] luck, go, [vvaas] [dv] [vvvynst] [aazvy] [hvyk]; [aanyt] [vvaalt] [m'en] [dyr] [dy] [pa'entst'er] [avysg'ez'etst]

Дайте Нефть Из Баку Wait, I got "got" (God) for the third word.

Jonathan Fleury "Dayn Mazel, Got, vos du voynst azoy hoykh; anit volt men dir di fentster oysgezetst."
Дайте Нефть Из Баку "Dayn mzl got vos du voynst ozoy hoykh; anyt volt men dyr di fentster oysgezetst."
Дайте Нефть Из Баку [Dayn] luck, God, [vos] you [voynst] [azoy] [hoykh = high?]; [anyt] would(?) [men= man?] [dyr] the window [oysgezetst].
Sarah Karoline Guesswork: vvvynst - wish?
"fenster" - window
oysgezetst - aussetzen - open out
men - "man" - one
vos - "was" - what
"fenster" - window
oysgezetst - aussetzen - open out
men - "man" - one
vos - "was" - what
Christian James Meredith "Dayn Mazel, Got, vos du voynst azoy hoykh; anit volt men dir di fentster oysgezetst."
God, what you (?) (?) also, (?) want men you the window opened?

Christian James Meredith I've got my Low German and my High German dialects confused again..
And Maria, this is good! This is how fast it used to be!
(see the first ever round )

)Дайте Нефть Из Баку [Dayn] luck, God, what you dwell/live [azoy] high; [anyt] would one the window open.
Дайте Нефть Из Баку (It is) your luck, God, how/that you live so high (in the sky); [otherwise?] one would open (your) window.
Christian James Meredith I forgot high/hoch came from *hauhaz and thus high in yiddish had a chance of being hoych 
Sarah Karoline Literal: Your luck!, God, what you live so highly, (but ?) you want to [...] the window.
Rephrased: What luck! God, you live so highly (exuberantly), but you want to ........... the window.

Дайте Нефть Из Баку Jonathan: I feel your pain, mate. My eyes bleed everytime I see poorly transliterated Russian.
Дайте Нефть Из Баку Your luck, God, that you live so high (in the sky), otherwise mankind would open the (your) window.
If "men" is "mann" we can paraphrase it as "mankind" or "every man".

Jonathan Fleury Arief I don't intend to play, I just saw the Yiddish and stepped in to watch people attempt to understand it
Christian James Meredith Дайте, on the topic of poorly transliteration Russian, you know I call you Dayte, and not Dajtje, right?
Дайте Нефть Из Баку Fun fact: the Jewish Autonomous Oblast' in Russia is the only political entity that uses Yiddish as its official language.

Christian James Meredith Дайте when I considered that, but couldn't the non-palatalised -e be a possible source of confusion?
Дайте Нефть Из Баку Well, 99% of "e"s in Russian are actually /je/. The only other "e" you could encounter, Э (/ɛ/), is found in a relatively small number of words as an initial. You'd probably know the word before finding its transliterated equivalent.
Maria Weidner Hey, where are you all? Only one word is missing! Sarah, Дайте Нефть Из Баку Christian James Meredith
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter Your luck, God, that you live so high (in the sky), otherwise mankind would break into your window.
Christian James Meredith "Dayn Mazel, Got, vos du voynst azoy hoykh; anit volt men dir di fentster oysgezetst."
Building off of Dayte's
(Your luck, God, that you live so high (in the sky), otherwise mankind would open the (your) window.)
> Your luck, God, that you live so high, otherwise man would have exposed your window?

Sarah Karoline But you were the first to translate the whole sentence, so you have won We all use each other's work and work together! haha
We all use each other's work and work together! hahaMarius Vincenzii Dennischter hahaha, Ok. Let me ask Дайте Нефть Из Баку if he would like to claim the winning, since I steal the sentence that he builds, also he hasn't started a new round for a while...
since Aj, Bordello Italiano... as far as I can remember

Christian James Meredith I think me and Vincensiu are the two who are most reluctant to win, yet keep winning anyway
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter I just double checked my post earlier today and I did say I live in Europe... my apologies... That was not true,
but I do live in Wales
Ok then, since I am forced to win...
I'm a bit indecisive in determining the next phrase...
and Davide, Arief lives in Malaysia... not Indonesia
