Italian brain..english contest :|

It's very difficult thinking in my own language (italian) and translate my slang in english...

I'm sorry about that... but don't worry... My english dictionary is always here on my desk... and I don't vote if I don't understand the meaning of your slogan!

And thank you all... when I see 0% on my slogan... there is something wrong in my english language! (I hope so :P)

bye :)

brentendo on Mar 06 '09 at 7:47pm

haha I imagine its difficult! I'll correct some of the mistakes in your slogans for you

I'm 27 years old and my mother wash my t-shirts would be better as I'm 27 years old and my mother still washes my t-shirts

and

When I'll die, please.. someone delete porn folder from my pc would probably be better If I die can someone delete the porn folder from my PC

I hope that helps!

rodrigobhz on Mar 06 '09 at 7:49pm

I think your slogans are funny, specially the porn one! Voted!

Hey bretendo, you're a very nice guy :)

poloq on Mar 06 '09 at 7:54pm

@brentendo: many thanks for corrections :) I can't correct my published slogan... what can I do now? i submit the correct ones?

Steve The Great on Mar 06 '09 at 7:57pm

buongiorno! Io parlo un po' d'Italiano.

Ma non molto. non molto at all.

brentendo on Mar 06 '09 at 7:58pm

chelly on Mar 06 '09 at 8:56pm

you seem to be a very nice delicious italian muffin

sakepok on Mar 06 '09 at 9:23pm

I'm 25 years old and my mother still washes my T-shirts too!

Excellent slogans, it's great that you took the time to correct them :)

Voted! Would be happy if you'd return a favour

poloq on Mar 07 '09 at 5:55am

@sakepok: i hope I find someone more than 27 years who don't have a washing-day :P

I use this blog for a question:

I submit a design that contains slogan on "critiques" section...

Do I have to submit the slogan on typetees too? is it better?

thank you

SuperRyan on Mar 08 '09 at 11:37am

Submitting slogan tee designs is a new thing I think. (I have not seen too many of them)

You don't have to submit it on typetees.

I think it depends on what you think has a better chance of getting a high score - the slogan itself or the slogan tee design.

poloq on Mar 08 '09 at 11:41am

So.. I don't have to submit it... or I can't to submit it?

I don't know where it can have more chances.... im a little confused ;) So I need to know what people think about it :)

producer on Mar 08 '09 at 11:43am

wait. steve speaks italian?!

colorfool on Mar 08 '09 at 11:46am

Nice ones, I voted on some!

colorfool on Mar 08 '09 at 11:47am

Submit in both, that's certainly the best take!

poloq on Mar 08 '09 at 11:48am

thanks Ryan, thanks colorfool... I submit in both ;)

You could always get a couple of people who will offer you translations. You might do better doing it in private so nobody will sneak in and take them from you.

Only a few would do that, but the walls have ears!

poloq on Mar 08 '09 at 9:38pm

thank you Ryan.. you are always kind! now it works!

jenraskopf... I don't want make noise to someone else... but thank you for your suggestion ;)

(3.38 am here... my pillow call me! goodnight all!)

SuperRyan on Mar 08 '09 at 9:41pm

If you ever need help with a slogan, you should join the Slogan Shoguns.

I'm sure you'll get help there with slogans.

Hey, you're doing great, despite the language barrier. My favs of yours are the ones about the push/pull, carrot, and nobody! If you need anymore help, then we're here for you...

poloq on Mar 22 '09 at 3:56pm

thanks Tonya!

You can help me with all kind of suggestions! help in translation, honesty and hard critiques are the best way to make me a good sloganer!

brentendo on Mar 22 '09 at 3:59pm

Announce:

I need an english teacher who correct my last 11 slogans! I can exchange it with Italian's lessons!

adam antium on Mar 29 '09 at 9:52am

i have the same prob.

i miss that "something" ...it's ok though.

poloq on Mar 29 '09 at 11:02am

I'm not alone! But you can express yourself with design... very beautiful ones!

Let's do the italian job!

poloq on Mar 29 '09 at 4:33pm

Help is always needed :(

SuperRyan on Mar 29 '09 at 4:37pm

poloq, I think you should ask for help in the slogan shogun blog before you submit the slogan.

That way the slogan will be improved before you submit it.

poloq on Mar 29 '09 at 4:42pm

ok... thanks Ryan...next time I'll do it in this way :)

for this time... I leave corrections to voting people... and I delete slogans under 30%

Stevica on Apr 12 '09 at 3:19pm

I'm in similar situation. Also dont comment on slogans if i dont understand them :D

And i think you will agree with me it needs time to get used to different type of humor.

"The Universe is expanding and I don't know where to put it."

Great :D

poloq on Apr 13 '09 at 1:49pm

I agree with you, Stevica. It needs time... but in a month I certainly improve my sense of humour ;)

"Newton described Force, but Darth Vader first applied it" is my fav of yours... I voted on it long time ago ;)
