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).

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:

Many thanks to suzanne410 because I am not enough of a tumblr or Instagram professional yet to always keep on top of things.

Main point though: Mesut went out this evening! Isn't that lovely? After playing so beautifully yesterday the boy deserves a nice night out!

This bit of loveliness from Mesut got him a sudden noisy ovation from the crowd when it happened. You can clearly hear it on the version of the match I downloaded - even though BEIN Sport actually mutes the crowd. A gasp and a happy groan went through the stadium.

As it happened, the camera had panned out and because the ball had been falling behind Mesut, it looked like an optical illusion when it magically reappeared at his feet. Phil Shoen wondered out-loud: "How did Ozil get that ball down?" And then (after the replay): "Oh."

Pictures of Mesut with PM Erdogan in the lovely post by jorzil yesterday bring back many memories of our well-brought-up young lad in his other political adventures! There's no point denying it - he's a bit of a political animal (if a somewhat reluctant one) whose tact and goood sense always wins the day!

Let's take a look back!

The Chancellor of Germany, The President of Germany, And The Prime Minister of Turkey!

Here's a jersey Mesut signed for Christian Wulff (president of Germany). It was taken by the Spanish Prime Minister on a trip to Germany!
