Wrik Chatterjee
Wrik Chatterjee Besides, I mistook the partitive. Tibetan this time?
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline Yes!!! It is indeed Tibetan, albeit with a touch of Norwegian and sprinkling of Frisian!
Wrik Chatterjee
Wrik Chatterjee I should pay you for my pineapples.
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline So, so close, Wrik :)
---
I [should] pay you [for] pineapples.

* Skal + infinitive = another tense.
* "med" = another preposition.
* As Anna has just pointed out, there's no "my," so I removed it!
Anna Robbins
Anna Robbins I don't think the "my" should be there, either, Sarah.
Kevin Long
Kevin Long I am going to pay you with pineapples?
Wrik Chatterjee
Wrik Chatterjee I need to pay you with my pineapples.
Helene Wiinholt
Helene Wiinholt Ohhhh, why didn't I see this round before now.
Wrik Chatterjee
Wrik Chatterjee Because we forgot to tag you :( .
Helene Wiinholt
Helene Wiinholt You should remember to, because I can actually bake Danish pastries. I'll keep my eyes on this threat from now on then. :)
Brad Wilson
Brad Wilson I will pay you with pineapples
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline Sorry for the delay: an unfortunate event occurred.

The first person to correctly translate the sentence was... Kevin.
"I'm going to pay you with pineapples." "will" is equally correct, incidentally.
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline Anna (I can't tag you now!) , thank you for noticing what I didn't notice - "my". :D

Helene I'm sorry we forgot to tag you (and everyone else) :(. I'd assumed that as you had all been tagged earlier, or you'd sent a posts, you'd automatically receive notificiations for the following posts.

Food (Serbian apple cake) for Brad and Wrik (the runners up) and as a form of apology to Helene. :)
Brad Wilson
Brad Wilson Yes, I read med as German mit to get with
Helene Wiinholt
Helene Wiinholt I got home from Finland late yesterday, so my computer decided to be weird with the notifications. But I'm here now~
Kevin Long
Kevin Long I will post a new round when I awaken tomorrow morning approximately 9 or 10 hours from now :)
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline We look forward to your post, Kevin!
Anna Robbins
Anna Robbins Gratulerer to the winner and the runners up ^^
Kevin Long
Kevin Long Hey guys sorry for the delay, my internet service went down due to a fault in the area. It's only just come back, but it's 3:30am and far too early for my brain to function multilingually (woken up by my phone suddenly receiving multiple messages from the internet). But I promise to post the new round when I awaken! Once again very very sorry!
Anna Robbins
Anna Robbins That's all right, take your time! Unless you want us to translate some sleeptalking, which might be interesting anyway :P
