translation practice #7 (09 oct 2007)

Can you guys translate 사랑이 꽃 피는 치과 ?

[steved]

사실은, "...이 세상의 고통 치과" 더 정확한 말인것 같아요.

Ha, 우스운 말이에요!

("우스워요"도 맞아요? 혹시 더 맞아요?)

It seems like a strange translation, but it seems to be saying "the love flower dentist." I'm not sure this type of advertising is winning me over either, steved...

[steved]

I would probably go with "love blooms like a flower dentistry" but frankly, I don't care how flowery the name of the office, it is still torture. Although it is much cheaper torture than here in the states as I understand it. Perhaps I will have to get my teeth checked when I go to Korea next.

...but not there at the love flower place, no way...

우습다 --> 우스운 --> 우스워요 they are all correct
But you can also say "하하, 진짜 웃겨요"
웃기다 literally means to "make someone laugh" so it means 'funny'

I wouldn't be convinced to go to the dentist believing that love will bloom in the dentist, but at least it sounds like they are going to be kind to me. Haha.
