Translation with Expression

[Bossu]

Minna-san konnichiwa. ogenki desu ka? I'm going to show you translations with expression and you must try to see if the translations make sence or not.

さばきのつぶて

sabaki=Judgement

tubute=throwing stones

iyaku wa "Judgement" desu. Iyaku toshite mitomemasu ka?

shinpi no mamori

shinpi= mysterious; wonderful; magical

mamori= protection; gaurd

shinpi no mamori no iyaku wa "safegaurd" desu.

しねんのずつき

shinen=thought

zutsuki=headbutt

iyaku wa "Zen headbutt" desu

ぜったいれいど

zettai=absolute

reido=Ice; zero; cold

Iyaku wa "sheer cold" desu.

*EDIT:Oops. I put the thread in the "Culture" forum. How can I move it to a different one?
Can Somebody please tell me.

OK, done that. What next?

In English it is better to say that "iyaku" is "liberal/loose translation" rather than "free translation". "Free translation" sounds like you are offering a no cost translation service

Thank you for tellimg me that. Then how about "Translations with expression"?

[chikara]

Maybe "Translations of expressions" is more what you are after.

BTW ぜったいれいど (絶対零度) would be "absolute zero" (zero degrees Kelvin) to me not "sheer cold".

In case anyone's wondering what this is all about, they are asking if we agree with the official translations for these pokemon moves.

If people don't know what you're asking them to do you won't get as useful responses.

I don't think it's really an important question as it doesn't really matter how close the English name for the moves is to the Japanese, just how well it fits the move itself. You'd be better off giving a description of the move and asking if it's an appropriate name. But please don't do that here.

Again with the pokemon! Here's my guess, if this dude is over the age of 14, then he's one of those guys who bought two Nintendo ds's so he can trade pokemon with himself, and goes to conventions to play the card game only with the childen who dressed most like Ash. I'm not gonna lie, I play pokemon from time to time, and it is not bad as far as RPG video games go. This, however, is either borderline insanity or an elaborate joke.

ばれちゃったしょうがない。I'm trying to see if the english names for the
Pokemon Moves are translations of original Japanese ones.　そして意訳ではないなまえは言わない。

That would definitely help your reputation with this forum. However, it's incredibly obvious that you have an interest with Pokemon. That's not a bad thing, but I highly suggest you register at a Pokemon forum. They would be more than willing to chat about Pokemon with you. I don't actually know of any good forums for Pokemon but maybe somebody here does; and if not, there's always google. However, we don't really mean to chase you off. It's just that immediately starting 3 threads about Pokemon and nothing else comes across as spam. Like most internet users, the most of us hate spam.

The only Pokemon Forum I use is http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/, but I have
posted a Thread there and so for no response and I want a Forum where I can have quick response on my thread. So, Pokemon is a spam in this thread well
how about translations of the japanese word related to Gekiranger any Super Sentai.
