Tydzień temu widziałam się z Anią i uzyskałam od niej sporo informacji o tym
mieście.

[aistionnelle]

Ontarian ,if you really want to play jokes /although it is not good sense of
humour cause your remarks are rather stupid and unsophisticated than
intelligent and bright /please write on Forum Humorum or something like this to
avoid misleading people who need help or advice.And don`t correct anybody in
such a way you do , or call "mądralińska ",standing face to face with lack of
better arguments ,OK? Best regards A.

[ontarian]

you got a failing mark
'cause 'last week' is not 'tydzien temu'

[aistionnelle]

Really? I can`t believe you want to raise a question for discussion about
important difference between "a week ago " and" last week " here .It`s spoken
language dear purist .And you didn`t notice my mistake in last post " Forum
Humorum or something like IT , not THIS "....Be consequent , mistakes are
important matter...especially if language is not for communication , rather
to "hunt" for them ...

I mean spoken language is not so strict as formal one : there is not one
meaning , especially this one you know and see is right . I think you can see a
difference between somebody`s to-day`s statement "last Monday "or "on Monday
6 th of February " can`t you? Language is for communication , not for counting
mistakes ; the purpose it to understand and to be understood . But really it`s
nothing to discuss :people who are stubborn have their eyes closed. I seriously
hope you are not going to teach anybody , in case of it your students will not
open their mouths ,for fear of making an awful/obvious mistake :)

[ontarian]

hehehe, you don't seem to understand what i said
i'll say it again
i don't give a damn about mistakes you're making
when we just talk
but sentence given in this thread
looks like part of homework
therefore, it requires rather good translation
making a small mistake in translations
means that someone will get a lower mark
and if to you 'last week' and 'a week ago' is the same
then you deserve a failing mark

p.s. i'm not a teacher, and i don't intend to teach anyone

[aistionnelle]

Imagine I understand quite well , the main idea you have is to mislead , laugh
at everybody and finding fault with insignificant details.There is one
more "homework " somewhere here I translated yesterday (okretka_naście is the
author if I remember well ) , please correct the mistakes , if you don`t poor
child will get one !
Thanks God you are not going to teach , I have a chill when I hear about
failing /lower mark caused by the difference between last week and week
ago.Why ?Because it is not an exam for sworn translators , you know ? We are
not in a law court .
And by the way :
1.we always write" I"with a capital letter
2.you have missed "a":looks like a part of homework...
to correct somebody be faultless first .

<<We are in a court of law /we are in a law court>>
Both are OK
We like juice of oranges /we like orange juice ?
Only the second is correct

[ms.jones]

my apologies for intruding on a 'domestic' :)

Re: part of homework

I've always struggled with this one so I started to listen out for this phrase
and I've since concluded that although in a minority of cases people do use the
indefinite article but by far the more common version is the one without 'a'.
(I am talking about the UK.)
