Could someone translate this to English, please- wiem ze nie za bardzo wesola..

SzwedwPolsce:

asik:
sometimes everything seems to be ok and sometimes (he says) it can't continue like that any longer

I still think it can also be "sometimes it's ok, sometimes it's like it can't continue to be". Both constructions (it is and he says it is) would be in the 3rd person singular, but depending on how you read it. Read it one more time and give me your opinion.

asik:

(he is) changing his mind, sometimes everything seems to be ok and sometimes (he says) it can't continue like that any longer.

Badly written in general. ljd: 1.wiem ze nie za bardzo wesola jest ta sytuacja.najpierw to byla zabawa a potem tak sie jakos rozwinelo I know that this situation is not very fun/pleasant. It was fun in the beginning but then it grew (out of proportion).

5.Tomek szantazuje mnie ze jesli nie przestane sie spotykac to powie mojejmu szefowi Tomek is blackmailing me in that, if we don't stop meeting, he will tell my boss.

2.jacek sie dowiedzial wymyslil domyslil jakos tak ...jest bardzo niezadowolony i rozumiem bo mu nie powiedzaialm Jacek came to know, thought it up (considered), arrived at the thought, sth like that. He is very unsatisfied/not glad and I understand because I didn't tell him. 3. zmienia zdanie i raz jest ok raz ze tak nie moze dalej byc A person keeps changing their mind. Once is ok but this cannot go on any longer. 4.wiem ze wybor nalezy do mnie ale teraz mi sie taki metlik zrobil ze hej i mam bardzo ograniczone mozliwosci I know that the decision rests with me (is in my hands) but he made a problem and I have very limited possibilities/options/opportunities.

ljd: 2.jacek sie dowiedzial wymyslil domyslil jakos tak ...jest bardzo niezadowolony i rozumiem bo mu nie powiedzaialm Jacek found out something (?). It's very unpleasant, and I understand because I didn't tell him. ljd: zmienia zdanie i raz jest ok raz ze tak nie moze dalej byc It changes, sometimes it's ok, sometimes it's like it can't continue to be. ljd: wiem ze wybor nalezy do mnie ale teraz mi sie taki metlik zrobil ze hej i mam bardzo ograniczone mozliwosci I know that the choice is mine, but everything is so confusing. I have very limited possibilities (to do sth etc.) ljd: .Tomek szantazuje mnie ze jesli nie przestane sie spotykac to powie mojejmu szefowi Tomek is blackmailing me, if the "meeting" doesn't stop he will tell my boss. Seanus: Tomek is blackmailing me in that, if we don't stop meeting, he will tell my boss. I was thinking about this sentence for a while. I don't think it has to be 'we' (the 2 persons who are involved in this conversation).

I agree, SwedeinPoland. The lack of the diacritic marks ą and ę doesn't help. The meeting as a concept, yes. Not one meeting as I'm sure you know as it is spotykać się and not just spotkać się. Good correction! Ljd, no problem.

SzwedwPolsce: ljd: zmienia zdanie i raz jest ok raz ze tak nie moze dalej byc It changes, sometimes it's ok, sometimes it's like it can't continue to be. Actually it says: (he is) changing his mind, sometimes everything seems to be ok and sometimes (he says) it can't continue like that any longer. --------------------------------------------------- SzwedwPolsce: Seanus: Tomek is blackmailing me in that, if we don't stop meeting, he will tell my boss. I was thinking about this sentence for a while. I don't think it has to be 'we' (the 2 persons who are involved in this conversation). 5.Tomek szantazuje mnie ze jesli nie przestane sie spotykac to powie mojejmu szefowi It says: Tomek is blackmailing me and says if I don't stop seeing "the person" (we don't know whom) then he is going to tell my boss (what? we don't know: maybe about the meetings or some other stuff).

asik: (he is) changing his mind, I can understand that. asik: sometimes everything seems to be ok and sometimes (he says) it can't continue like that any longer I still think it can also be "sometimes it's ok, sometimes it's like it can't continue to be". Both constructions (it is and he says it is) would be in the 3rd person singular, but depending on how you read it. Read it one more time and give me your opinion.

I'd change the last part only, as it could be she says/thinks (instead of him) that the situation is unbearable and something must be changed. zmienia zdanie = ...changes his mind i raz jest ok = and sometimes everything is/seems okay raz ze tak nie moze dalej byc = and sometimes - it can't continue to be (or: I can't stand it any longer)
