Not wishing you to be other than "pleasant to the group," I offer this

What implied threat? I'd bet a hundred dollars his English is better
than your Turkish! ggg Nice of you to point him in the right
direction though. I email with a Turk helicopter pilot (Army) on a
regular basis and he is always asking me to help him improve his
English.

I didn't see any threat, either, unless he was poking fun with that comment.

"if u help about this subject 'i will be pleasent to group member"

Implicit in that statement is what he will do if I don't help.

Absolutely. That's why I pointed him in the right direction.
Hopefully, someone can point out the implication of his statement, and
his English will improve. I would expect him to be appreciative for
both of my attempts to "help."

Have you ever tried to learn a foreign language and used non-colloquial
syntax and words? When he says, "i will be pleasant to group member" he
could have meant that he would be "pleased" with the help offered by a
(news)group member. Sometimes direct translation of words into another
language don't make sense in that language. He's not threatening anyone.

Larry, this was not a threat, and you have to stop watchng those old
B-movies co-starring Peter Lorry.

Translation is always difficult for anyone not fully versed in both of the
languages and also in both of the cultures--and the results frequenly vary
from incomprehensible to hilarious.

Extrapolating from my own attempts to learn Spanish, and from what I have
been told about Japanese, attempts to translate expressions of politeness
and gratitute very frequently result in examples such as the one above.

The most probable idiomatic translation is: "Thanks in advance."

Larry, this was not a threat,

That's your inference. Unless you have queried the author, you have
no ground to make that assertion, and even then you may not.

Personally, I read what is written, and attempt to refrain from making
unfounded assumptions about the author's intended meaning.

and you have to stop watchng those old B-movies co-starring Peter Lorry.

I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

Translation is always difficult for anyone not fully versed in both of the
languages and also in both of the cultures--and the results frequenly vary
from incomprehensible to hilarious.

That's a reasonable assumption.

Extrapolating from my own attempts to learn Spanish, and from what I have
been told about Japanese, attempts to translate expressions of politeness
and gratitute very frequently result in examples such as the one above.

So as a language student, did you appreciate it when someone called
your attention to your faux pas, or would you have preferred that they
silently snicker at your error, and permit you to go on making the
same blunder?

The most probable idiomatic translation is: "Thanks in advance."

Perhaps, but I doubt it.

Peter :-)

Japanese uses a different syntax, is loaded with honorifics, and is
for lack of a better term "culturally loaded".
A japanese friend gave me this advice. Think of Yoda in Star Wars.

The Phrase (spelled phonetically) Nehongo, ga skosi wakari muth..
Directly translated comes out "The Japanese language (Nehongo) a
little (ga skosi) I understand (Wakari muth). Chasnging the "muth to
Muth-ka changes it to "do not understand"
Many words do not have a direct translation. so it requires the
translation of an idea or concept. Just to add a bit of confusion as I
recall the same word stands for pencil and bridge depending on how
it's used.

I believe it was Red Skelton who did a skit on translating languages


The most probable idiomatic translation is: "Thanks in advance."

Ah...it *might* for a person whose native language is English, but
highly unlikely for a person whose native language is not English.

I'm only familiar with Spanish, Latin, French, and Japanese. Note I
said *familiar* and not fluent which I am a very long way from
achieving in any of them. OTOH after several seasons of working
around pickle stations as a kid I can swear fluently in Spanish.:-))

If you ever read computer manuals that have been translated from
Japanese to English and noted what appear to be mistakes you should
see a literal translation. I came across a site dealing with RFID
tags and their operation. Most of it is a literal translation and is
very difficult to understand. You have to guess at what they were
trying to get across.
