Chicken Translate Suppose you are learning some language You learn the basic structure Construct basic sentences But you are not sure if its correct or not Or its highly possible that you cannot express what you would like to say correctly (choosing correct words) Or maybe you have no idea how to say it

3. Chicken Translate Idea comes from our speech with Thomas in Turkish Our common language is English Due he was not able to construct some sentences correctly, he asked me the possible translation of it in Turkish Then we wrote a possible translation of sentence in Turkish

4. Chicken Translation However, there can be many other possible expressions of the same sentence Even punctuation, commas can change the meaning of a sentence Machines are not able to translate a sentence correctly We need human power, that takes those kind of little changes into account

5. Chicken Translate Possible examples; ◦ Peter didn’t arrive in time to see her? Or Peter wasn’t early enough to see her? ◦ Has the same meaning in English ◦ Possible Turkish translations can be  Peter kiz arkadasini gormeye yetisemedi  Peter eve zamaninda gelemedigi icin kiz arkadasini goremedi  Peter vaktinde gelseydi kiz arkadasini gorebilirdi  Peter gec kaldigi icin kiz arkadasini goremedi
