Alfia Wallace I have dabbled a teensy bit in Finnish, but I don't recognize anything other than paiva - paevast paeva.. hmmm
Alfia Wallace Ok, I'm going to make some guesses based on knowledge of Slavic languages, on the off-chance that they affected the Estonian in this phrase
Billy James Brightraven Nope… 
This phrase appears to be using core vocabulary from what I can tell (what with my limited Finno-Ugric skill set )

Billy James Brightraven Yeah, Bagdat, winner gets to branch. 'tis a time honoured tradition.
If I fall asleep Vincensiu, will you verify for me?

Alfia Wallace Yes, we're at 1047. Vincensiu, if you know it, tell us? Or is it unfair if you absolutely know it?
Billy James Brightraven Oh no, you must suffer the translation woes! Christian is on his way to success with the copula translated 
And if you absolutely know it, it's mildly regarded as a tad unfair these days. People tend to stay out on their own initiative. It's not fun "guessing" something you already know… :p

Billy James Brightraven Oh, there's been some serious progress! You're getting closer

Christian James Meredith 1047 posts is irrelevant to this round BTW, it just means when we start the next round someone needs to create a new thread in the same format as the previous ones. I can do that if you want.
Alfia Wallace Vincensiu? Anybody home? I'm gonna wait to hear the response to our ?s before giving it another stab. 
Christian James Meredith Hoho, according to the dictionary, ränd = migration?
Ergo: it is [their] way; they wander from day to day
?

Christian James Meredith http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estonian_Land_Board yup, tee = way it seems (check out their physical address)
Christian James Meredith Me rändame ilma abi? (my finno-ugric is bad ATM so that's probably ungrammatical)
(my finno-ugric is bad ATM so that's probably ungrammatical)Billy James Brightraven I'm horribly sorry, I haven't been getting notifications for some reason. And here I've been waiting eagerly.
Nad = they, yep, short of nemad.
This is (the) way, they wander from day to day. (from one day to the next day, but y'know Finno-Ugric movement cases… )
So Christian wins! new thread time I guess :p Don't forget to tag Arief's website :p

Arief Wibowo Sorry I wasn't home, got urgent work to do... Congratulations, Christian James Meredith, and yay!! Time for new thread
For this game, I would always like comments that I have fully read, so I will know if I miss a clue or something while checking back. It helps

Christian James Meredith Bahahaha, same here! Goodonya Arief
TBH I only figured out "nad" from -vad, not from "nemad"
Billy, before I start the next "fred", where did you get that phrase from, if from anywhere? It works well in both Estonian AND English phonetically!

Christian James Meredith Språkspelet IV (Sprogspelet IV)
The Malinese game of Language's Fourth Series Battle Royale Begins NOW!
General information: http://sprogspelet.arwi.im/rules/ (thanks Arief!)
(normally we start a new thread once we roughly reach over the 1000 post mark)
The basic flow of the game is that someone suggests a phrase in a non-English language for translation. Then, we amigos try and solve the phrase, WITHOUT using El Diablo, Google Translate
Then, when someone finally suggests the correct answer, it's their turn to continue the cycle of chaos! Mwahaha!
HOWEVER, this game's principle goals are for you to:
- Enjoy yourselves
- and Learn something
So, when keeping the game moving, keep that in mind!
Now... lemme find a phrase to start off this round...
