Christian James Meredith OK, assuming Victor's said I've gotten the whole phrase right I propose:
"It kin net oars"
(West Frisian)
"It kin net oars"
(West Frisian)
Arief Wibowo But Victor Wåhlstrand Skärström also says " It means that you need to complete what you have started."
Christian James Meredith Yeah I wasn't sure if he meant that as "you need to complete the phrase" (although we solved i lann ages ago) or "you need to give your sentence". It's a vague phrase 
Victor Wåhlstrand Skärström I'm on my phone, so it is slow and cumbersome to use, thus I bid you good bye. 
Christian James Meredith Nup, no rowing this time! 
A hint for the Frisian: The English translation will need to add 2 words, and one of the words is like an English word that's missing 2 extra syllables (but starts with the first sound and ends with the last sound).

Jonatan Sundqvist Victor, altering the spelling to match the dialect was quite a malicious deed of you! Hä ä int' lätt å begrip' nå nä man prat' i dialekt
Arief Wibowo I am not a good source of Dutch, just happen to be in Dutch-colonized country, but you're welcome 
Christian James Meredith The "two extra english words" bit is a bare minimum that you need to add, if you use "anything" there you'll still need an extra one.
Arief Wibowo, technically the smallest English equivalent of "oars" starts with o- and ends with -se.

Marius Vincenzii Dennischter still need an extra one Christian James Meredith??
or is it ONE EXTRAS?
or is it ONE EXTRAS?
Christian James Meredith Haha. You still need one verb in the English translation added for it to make sense stand alone. You could try translating without the "be" and the other verb though.
Christian James Meredith Uh-oh... Um... Can I let you two fight it out between each other?
Anyway, literal translation is:
It can not *others (-s here is like an adverbial marker).
Ergo It can not (be done) otherwise, It can not be done any other way, it can not be otherwise, it can not be any other way, etc.

Christian James Meredith I'm gonna go with Camelia Stefan as the winner and the person to suggest the next phrase since I don't think we've seen Camelia participate much, so that might be fairer, and "otherwise" as ultimately the most important bit.
Christian James Meredith Really though everyone got it together - Camelia suggested "otherwise", Vincensiu got the earlier bulk of the sentence, Dayte got the basic bits put together, and Maleen polished it up.
Christian James Meredith But because everyone having a turn would result in utter chaos, I'll go for people I haven't seen much on here and assume they might want a turn in edgeways
Arief Wibowo Yeap, I vote for Camelia Stefan
Wait, isn't she supposed to be the cat with ears pointing to the right?

Christian James Meredith OK then, in that case, if Camelia doesn't want it, it'll go to Maleen, if Maleen doesn't want it, to Dayte, if Dayte doesn't want it, to Vincensiu?
