translation please.
 

Could someone help me translate this to English, I just cant get it to sound right. It has got me and the missus stuumped.


Nunca llovio que no parara - accent O

It never rained that never stopped (bad?)

It never rained and never stopped (doesnt mean the same, I dont think)



I dont want a proverb with the same meaning in English, I would like a translation, word for word, if possible.

Cheers

Never rained that won`t stopped.

That is even worse than my translation, cheers anyway.:D:D

It was translated by the Spaniard sat 5 ft away from me, word for word.

I had guessed that, it makes no sense in English whatsoever

Translation on its own rarely does.

Which is why its so easy to tell someone using a translation tool.

Its meaning is that the Rain will eventually stop, everything stops, eventually.

Did the guy use a translation tool?


I know what it means, I have been asked for a short and sweet translation of this phrase, it should be easy to do, but I cant seem to get it right, so that it sounds good.

There's never been rain that won't stop?

Re: translation please.
 

Just like that.......Said in a Tommy Cooper voice.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Thank you

I will send you some virtual Karma, cos I cant send the real stuff, gotta spread some around first.

Nunca = never, llovio = was rain, que =what, no = no (who'd have thought it!) parara = it will stop.

I know you said you don't want a proverb but I'm guessing it means: There never was rain that dont/didn't stop.

Thank you, and as my curiosity has been kick started, what would an English equivalent of this proverb be?

Re: translation please.
 

I think "there was never rain that wouldnt stop" sounds better. Makes full use of the subjuntive :p

Madridboy confused the subjunctive with the future. Yes they are spelt the same, but the future tense has an accent on the final a

All things pass?

Or maybe "every cloud has its silver lining" (stretching it a bit)?

Re: translation please.
 

I think that all things pass is the one I was looking for. It means the same to me.

Thanks
