 What's up guys Evil Deer here your God and tonight we're going to do a book review the book in question is Taradoku from William old now The reason I'm doing this first in my room is just because it's so late here And I don't want to do it where my normal filming equipment is and my fancy microphone and stuff because I'll wake up the whole goddamn Household and the reason I'm filming so late is not because I'm lazy. No Evil Deer isn't lazy He doesn't just do things out of laziness. Well, maybe he does sometimes but the reason I'm Filming so late is because I just completed the interview with a pretty important Esperanto speaker I'm not really seeing that yet because we're gonna first edited it and all that type of stuffs and make sure everything's fine But in a few days that should be coming out or maybe even tomorrow I don't know so that is really exciting But as a result that went really late and now I have to film in my room like golem type of thing So anyway, yes, we're going to be looking at the book Taradoku now Taradoku is basically a collection of English to Esperanto translation exercises that were ripped directly from the prey from the pages of Labrita Esperantista, which was a magazine. I don't know if it still is maybe some of the British Esperantist here If you guys tell me down in the comments below does Labrita Esperantista still exist But anyway at the time it was edited by William old when this after this book came out Okay, and what he used to do is with each new edition of the magazine He would put a like an English article in there like an extract from an article And it would be I don't know from the news from a book from somewhere It didn't matter it put it in there And then they would have to translate it to Esperanto as Closely as possible so keeping as much nuance as possible keeping as much of the same type of structure as possible Which obviously is quite different to just talking in every day because when you talk every day Esperanto You don't you don't worry about like translating from English to Esperanto You think directly in Esperanto, but when you're translating from any language into another language and you're trying to keep that as much as that original nuance as possible you then have to Really dig down into the meaning of the text to translate it while also trying to keep it as close as possible So this book here, which is purely an Esperanto is Basically a list of all those exercises with their finished Translation and the translations weren't just done by William old who by the way is a freaking legend and Esperantui Oh, the guy even was nominated for a Nobel Prize in literature Not not just because of these Esperanto work But because of everything he did but he is like a legend when it comes to anything written Poetry all that type of stuff because he was just so good If you haven't read la infana harasso go check that out. That's um, that's pretty crazy poem right there I've never finished it to be honest But it's freaking hard to understand even for a really experienced Esperanto's but going off topic So yeah, what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna flick for a few pages in this book and I'm gonna show you Well, I'm not show you I'm gonna show you a couple of extracts because what's happened is when they come across something That was really difficult to translate and remember this wasn't just him translating It was like the entire Esperanto community at the time working together and translating they Would obviously discuss a particular word and then come at a solution So what I'm gonna do now is just jump straight through and I'm gonna find you some of the ones that I really liked Just straight up. There's nothing in particular. Just I'm gonna pick random ones that I like, okay? Okay, so this is the first one. It was actually in the first exercise and it's a translation of Tempers were short and they've translated this in two possible ways. The first one is Ec-col-er-i-gen-mo and the second one is col-er-em-mo fa-tile-act-a-vig-us I really liked that first one ec-col-er-i-gen-mo and that translates into English as having a tendency to suddenly Become angry that'd be the best way of translating off the top of my head when you look at it in Esperanto It makes complete sense. So I like that one So here's one that I remember even after years later from reading this book and was explaining the difference between a Basically like an adjective ending and an adverb ending when used in a certain context So the word in question here is Angl-a-par-al-anto versus Angl-a-par-al-anto. When you look at that at first Do you think maybe Angl-a-par-al-anto is just a mistake, okay? Because they should be using the adjective. No, no, no. You got to remember, okay? That it's not just a direct translation Angl-a-par-al-anto is a speaker who is English and obviously speaks English Angl-a-par-al-anto is a speaker who speaks in English. So not necessarily an English speaker So for instance, a French speaker can be an Angl-a-par-al-anto if they don't natively speak English and they're not from English Origin, okay? See you can add a little bit of nuance there and I kind of like that one I don't know why I liked it, but I just did maybe because it helped me a little bit with adverbs Okay, so I like this one, okay? This is a translation for fiddling around, okay? To fiddle around and the word that is used is fushulmi I like that because the use of um and also the fact that it uses fushy, which is like to mess up So fiddling around is fushulmi to kind of mess around with type of thing. It's a pretty cool translation I like it. I like anything that uses um. Okay, so this is a pretty cool one Worked myself into a fit worked myself into a rage that phrase worked myself into and the way he's translated it here is Sukhatses turudi almi that is pretty cool Sukhatses turudi almi so I succeeded to Like push upon myself type of thing. It's pretty cool. I liked it Okay, so he's a pretty cool one and you guys might like to use this as a joke every now and then to have his Way with her or him, you know depending on your point of view So the way to translate that would be to do the L. She's Ian in clean on or to do the L. She's Ian Volon I like it because it's so simple and makes sense But in English as it's so messed up, it's have his way with her It's like all these random words mixed together. Okay, this is a good one where you use a totally different word than what you'd expect And what he's got is a working knowledge. Okay, so, you know a working knowledge of this or that the way that he's translated This is That is a good way of showing how to use the adjective practica, okay? So this is a nice English expression. I use all the time take the piss out of okay And actually is that something that you use in your land where your land? I'm thinking in a spriner now something that you use in your country take the piss out of is something We always use in Australian English. I don't know about Americans Brits and all you other English speakers But here's how he's translated it. I'm guessing the Brits do because this is William old was a British speaker. Um, so he's got Mokachi and it is in digas. Okay, and also Pugigas That's pretty cool. Pugigas to make it into a butt Okay, so this is this book is awesome for insults. Okay, and like inventive insults So, you know, you can say that person's got bad breath. So you could say put to the speedo Haladza speedo speed up show Odoracha el speedo just goes on and on but I really like haladza speedo I totally forgot about that word haladza. That's an awesome word. I'm gonna start using that more now on Okay, so here's one. I love this the translation for scruffy. Okay, and he's actually got mal eleganta Now obviously he's chosen that one because of context because you could go of many different other decisions But as soon as I read eleganta, it reminded me of this awesome Esperanto song I'm gonna put a link down in the description below you guys got to check it out. I don't know how to pronounce this It's called go to Joss But I think but the song like seriously it is really really well done Totally professional go watch it directly after this video. Okay, so one final one before I close this off Okay, he's translated sex in the city. I'm sure you've all heard about that film You're probably all seen it. I haven't seen it, but he's translated as a moto and la urbega. Okay, and The reason I'm putting this one out is because he's put in here another possible translation is a moto and let's see Vito now the reason I wanted to point that out is because in the Esperanto community There is a group of Esperanto speakers who are called Esperantio or more commonly la Esperanta. See Vito Okay, see Vito is like a city-state type of thing They are a group of Esperanto. So we're trying to actually start a internationally recognized Esperanto Like like landless state basically. Okay, so la Esperanta to Vito When I read that I read a moto and la Esperanta to Vito and I was just imagining like love in this Esperanto state type of thing. So that was pretty funny. I just wanted to point that out to you So that's it. I just wanted to quickly go over a few of the cool words in here There's plenty of insults in here like really well-thought-out insults as well Even though he's not trying to be intentional, but because he's translating from English So that's it if you've liked this video give it a like share it around with your friends Subscribe to my channel if you haven't already and I'll see you in the next video And if you're not there, I'll find you and it will be a moto and via domo And as always I want to thank my patreon supporters because realistically without their help I don't know how long this channel could go for so they are Slavish guy of Robert Nielsen look at JZ knuckles Jalfigoria, Alexander Tollefesson, Coldarm, Tommy Linsley, Shane Power and Sarah SC So thanks a lot guys.
