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).

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:

First of all, many thanks to dearest bonniebutterfly for sending this on!



Our crinkly-eared, modern day hero will be the star of a short feature film to be shown at the Berlin Football Film Festival!

The film-maker is award-winner Aljoscha Pause - best known for films on the blind Bundesliga and for films examining homosexuality in the sport. His last film, on Zinedine Zidane, won an award!

Joyous News! Mesut has finally caved in to Bild's persistence and actually talked about his new lady-friend.



I'm going to include some of the German - just to get the full force of the Mesutosity across (and well done to Bild! He's practically effusive...)

Ozil dribbles around questions about his love-life the way he does around opponents.

Observe, ladies and gentlemen, the following picture from Sergio Ramos's book:



Recognize them? Aren't they nice? They're Mesut's purple boots from the latter part of the 2010/11 season - debuted against Atleti, as it happens. Where Serzil provided us with this moment:
( Tender moment and an observation... )

As far as I'm concerned, this lovely girl will always be the woman who got away - but she's expecting a baby, glowing and looks utterly stunning on her wedding day - to rapper Bushido - the lucky bastard! So - no point worrying about what might have been. He looks suitably stunned by his outrageous good-fortune in landing her. Indeed, most pictures of him published recently involve the same goofy/happy expression.

Some women are so beautiful when they are pregnant - Nando's Olalla being an excellent example. I'm sure we can agree that Anna-Maria is more beautiful than ever.
