Can someone translate this??
Would someone please translate this for me:
Unða aftera beginn taikjan at marin, unða goðurun selbaz du himma maniga, swa borisaz ina faranðan in skipan setjan in marin; unða alla sa managi uiðra marin was ana staða.
Well I ran it through an Icelandic to English translator and no word was translated. Perhaps it's a previous version of Icelandic, such as Old Icelandic or maybe even Old Norwegian.
To me it looks like a fake mix of urnordisk/Proto-Norse (e.g. the w's and z's) and real Norse, even with a later Low German loan (be-ginn).
If I were to guess about what it means I would say something about dragging a mare (female horse) onto a ship, but it really doesn't make much sense to me.
The text you entered:
Unða aftera beginn taikjan at marin, unða goðurun selbaz du himma maniga, swa borisaz ina faranðan in skipan setjan in marin; unða alla sa managi uiðra marin was ana staða leads to the following results: Indonesian 206 Malay 198 Romanian 186 Icelandic 182 Tagalog 182 http://www.eidetica.com/services/guesser Wow, that was interesting.
I agree with Fredrik. Maybe somebody has tried to make some kind of Old Norse (or modern Icelandic). Something like this can take place when Finns write pseudo-Estonian without really knowing the language, they only try to make the text look like Estonian. In fact, ship companies that travel between Helsinki and Tallinn (capitals of Finland and Estonia) sometimes use this kind of "Estonian" in advertisements (for fun, and to make people pay attention to their ads).
LOL, really? But I guess that pseudo-Estonian is more understandable than that whacky pseudo-proto-Norse above?
Well, it looks a little similar to Gothic. Based on my knowledge of Gothic, here's what I could get out of it:
Unða aftera beginn taikjan at marin, unða goðurun selbaz du himma maniga, swa borisaz ina faranðan in skipan setjan in marin; unða alla sa managi uiðra marin was ana staða. Unða: and? aftera: after beginn: begin taikjan: take at: to marin: the sea unða: and goðurun: ? selbaz: ? du: ? himma: him maniga: many swa: so borisaz: ? faranðan: went in: in skipan: ship setjan: set/sit? in: in marin: sea unða: and alla: all sa: so managi: many uiðra: ? marin: sea was: was? ana: ? staða: ?
Interesting! I guess it could be Gothic. In that case:
du: you But still, it doesn't make much sense.
I think it's a formula how to organize a threesome...lol...just joking, but...hmmmm...it could be true though...since no one knows for sure....hmmmm....
