Crinkly Ears

A Community Translation Event!

Darling new-community member Ivy (its_ivy) has provided a translation of Mesut's interview in German with Turkish notation! She tells us that Mesut uses the word Natürlich in Turkish a lot! It's "Tabi" in Turkish so comm members can listen for it! That translation been translated from German to Turkish by me, jenny_jenkins into English for our English speakers!

Vitally important Edit: And SELMA KAY <3 has found and translated the first part of the interview (it's longer than we thought!) for us from Turkish to English! Hooray! See our new cut for the first part!



So here is how we will do this!

Here is Mesut's Interview on Youtube embedded beneath this cut:

( Natürlich...Natürlich...Tabi...Tabi...;) )

Here is Selma's translation of the first part of the video from Turkish directly to English (beneath this cut):

( There's even more mesutosity than we thought! )

Here is Ivy's version (with helpful translation commentary!) of what Mesut said in Turkish translated to German immediately after what was said above (beneath this cut).

( Ivy's Splendid Turkish To German Translation! )

And here is my translation of what Ivy rendered in German, translated into English (beneath this cut)

( Mesutosity: from Turkish to German to English... )

Happy reading! I hope we got the Mesutosity across. I have to say I think Ivy captured his "voice" as it comes across in German very well <3 And so did Selma!

My kindergarten teacher was always talking about how if people put their talents together, great things develop!

And as promised:

We Start With...

The Romance


Aww bless! One half of our beloved M&M pairing ALSO thinks she's being like, way secret-agent and stuff by posting a totally not obvious message at all on her Facebook (thank you to suzanne410 for spotting this...)

And as soon as she realized her super-secret-agent cover had been blown, a minor correction appeared:

( M&M & A Little Samisut Too... )

There's still a week to go, but Mesut is blowing away the competition for National Player of the Year - an award he won last year and had no idea he had won until he arrived in Bremen to play France (that is to say, the night before he received it!). It made for an amusing press-conference!

In second place, occasional bromantic interest Miroslav "goal-thief" Klose. Rounding out the top three, Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus.

Mesut's second goal against the Faroe Islands is in the top 5 "goal of the year" poll at the moment, though currently Miro Klose's opener against Sweden and Mario Gomez's opener against those accursed Dutchmen during the Euros are in first and second, respectively!



A picture, for your time!

Voting continues until January 6th, so let's press our thumbs!
