Milaandra Posted February 12, 2012 #953 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Different handwriting on the left and the right, as well. I can't read anything on the other side. It would help if we could make it bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that but still can't clearly make out the words tho that may be my vision issues. One word looks to be Captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I zoomed in it seems to be the Italian translation of what she wrote on the right hand side. I think she was mixing up languages. She did say she spoke 5 but maybe did not write Italian well.

rubrrick Posted February 12, 2012 #957 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Maybe someone has already mentioned this, but tomorrow evening (Sunday) on the National Geographic channel, there will be a documentary called "Italian Cruise Ship Disaster", the untold story.

kingcruiser1 Posted February 12, 2012 #958 Share Posted February 12, 2012 #1 is my position #1a is something about second power...second in command maybe? I believe 1a indicates movement of person #1 to view something (pour voir, courtesy of Bing translator is French for "to see") for seconds (secondes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Yes thanks. I was planning on sending a reminder tomorrow. But here it is: National Geographic Channel (NGC) will premiere a documentary on the Costa Concordia disaster at 7 p.m. ET/PT Feb. 12. The story is told primarily by those who experienced it and will air again at 10 p.m. ET/PT Feb. 13. The one-hour show, titled “Italian Cruise Ship Disaster: The Untold Stories,” weaves together in-depth stories from passengers and staff on board as well as Coast Guard rescuers with home video and graphics to reconstruct the sinking of the ship near the island of Giglio in Italy.

cruiserfanfromct Posted February 12, 2012 Author #960 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I believe 1a indicates movement of person #1 to view something (pour voir, courtesy of Bing translator is French for "to see") for seconds (secondes) Which is translated on the left "per vedere" which means to see in Italian. I can't make out the other words though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one on the other side of #2...if we read it as valige, that is the plural of suitcase. But what's with the "ho" or "no" or "mo" before it? According to google translator "ho" is I, "no" is no and "mo" doesn't exist. If I put in "my suitcases", it suggests "le mie valigie" The whole thing is highly confusing.

zonacruiser25 Posted February 12, 2012 #962 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Thanks for the show info. I set my DVR to record it. I sure wish I could see the entire Canadian show that was on.

Hopefully some native speakers will help us out. These hearings must be extremely difficult for those involved trying to piece together all the information. It's mind-boggling.

Kirykes Posted February 12, 2012 #971 Share Posted February 12, 2012 [quote name='TheBestIsYetToCome']Pozitia mea = my position, in Romanian.[/quote] Could that be a "1" near the "x" outside the captain's cabin? It is not printed the same as in "1a" so I am confused. It would be strange indeed if the person filming turned out to be Domnica Cemortan, especially in light of the way she tells passenger David Saba, in the video he posted on YouTube, that filming is not allowed.

That's how we use it - Italian being my 3rd language but native to my husband and his clan. Don't ask me to read anything - I couldn't read Italian to save my life. Vabbuo.
