Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку Alright, I'm giving you a simple one to keep the game running, but it's still Sprogspelet so I had to counterbalance the easiness in some way:

/fʁaɪ 'zaɪn ɪst nɪçt fʁaɪ 'veːɐdən ɪst deːɐ 'hɪməl/

I'll read you in about nine hours. Take care!
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline I'll tag:
Vincensiu Arief Billy Helene Wrik Jake Zev Andy
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline Helene
(I've reached my tagging limit)
Billy James Brightraven
Billy James Brightraven My contribution:

Frei sein ist nicht, frei werden ist der Himmel.

(Shouldn't it be nichts though?)

and I'm out too… this is too easy :p
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline I shall ban myself once again as I understand :)
I too would think "nichts"...
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo *Arief reporting in for referee duties*

We consider it's better to post whole translation, because we tag the whole post verbatim as winner in the game.

The winning post (highlighted green among other posts) will then be archived (forever) in our website .

The system is a bit interlocked, such that if set my post as winner, I will appear as winner in the Rounds page, and the website will expect me to start a new round.
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo TL;DR

Consider Round 1 (left) and Round 25 (right).

If you didn't read the posts after the green highlight, you might thought that it's the correct translation for Sanskrit "yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam" :)

Back story:
I had to tag Maleen's last post as winner, although it lacks one word, at that time I give away final word.

If I remember correctly, we haven't have the website at that round... Things were simpler back then... The game is moving from low entropy system to high entropy system... The ΔS can be calculated[...]

I should stop now :D

* Arief out, back to projects duties *
Zev Brȹk
Zev Brȹk I have to recuse myself; it's too easy for me as well. Moreover, I'm too busy to contribute at all for this first half of the month, so don't tag me (not that I need tagging, as I started this thread so I'll get notifications no matter what...).
Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку Yes, it should be "nichts". Sorry about that.

Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith Time to finish off this Irish roun-

Oh.

Nevermind, time to finish off the next roun-

Oh.

Ok, how about the most recent-

Scheisse.

OK, time to go back to ff14/ck2/conlanging.
Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith Quick interruption though, are werden and der pronounced with a long e? I always pronounced them with a short (but not reduced) e :P

There is a sound file on each page, about halfway down.
Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith Sarah, well trip me over and call me Josephine, I've learnt something new!
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline Did you pronounce both words slightly/totally different? Christian
Pronunciation of"e" does vary.
Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith I pronounce it closer to English "bear", but maybe a little shorter.
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline V.1: How we were taught at school ..
V.2: How I hear it in Cologne.
(I do have cloth-ear syndrome, so it may not be 100%)

Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith Oh, in that case I'm not too far off from either, I guess I shouldn't worry then.
Christian James Meredith
Christian James Meredith Thanks for the clarification Sarah!
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline I think /e/ in v.2 is closer to Hochdeutsch.
V.1 sounds more English, but coincidentally it's also a feature of "Rheinish", at least this is what I hear..

Perhaps our German speakers would like to pass comment or record too :)

All you could ever want to know about German pronunciation:

(I think we've digressed from the game... oops!)
Дайте Нефть Из Баку
Дайте Нефть Из Баку That's the pronunciation I learned, but yes, it varies a bit. I pronounce it more like /'vɜːɐdən/ myself, since speakers from my region tend to pronounce Es more open than others.

And yes, Vincensiu wins. ;)

Marius Vincenzii Dennischter Yaaaay!!! Thanks David :D
