For those fluent in a language other than English - a quick question

ETA - I am reviving a three year old thread, because I'm finally -- after all this time -- actually writing this scene for my new book. It surprised me to see how long ago I was thinking of this. Weird.

(I'm not using programs like Google Translate on purpose. They are too literal-minded for what I'm doing.)

Anyway, anyone got anything new to add to this one? So far we've got: French, German, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Greek, Latin, Cantonese, Scots Gaelic, Welsh, Japanese, and Mandarin.

Here's the OP:

I'm trying to develop a thought for a story I'm writing and there's a phrase I'd like to see in several different languages, but I don't exactly trust online translating machines.

For any and all comers, how would you say "freer than me"?

Now that's just weird. Not two seconds ago, I hit the send button on a PM lamenting that I did not remember enough of my German to translate that.

(German was the only one I was ever able to get comfortable with.)

Thank you!

This is great guys. Thank you. More! More!

Thank you, Sofie. Very cool.

Hey, rabbit, any way of rendering that Greek with our alphabet? I know that's a fairly stupid question, but I'm wondering what it sounds like.

You guys are awesome. Thank you.

I love Welsh road signs. I drove through Wales last summer. Buy a vowel, dear people. Lol!

Thank you! That's a neat one.

Oooooh! I see. I misread. I thought it was one example of the phrase in Greek and one in Latin. You led me to the water, I just didn't drink.

Sorry about that! This is very helpful. Thank you.

Bumping and reviving the OP, because today, after all this time, I'm actually writing this scene.

Ah, neat! Thank you. Will add it to the list.
