google translate

I an't work tonight and we have loft and mash the whole cantor.

[Old_Grey_Wolf]

I am an' t work and of evening hebbe we and brijloft for the complete cantor.

That is the "Babel Fish" translation.

There are a few words that Google and Babel Fish can't translate. It could be caused by a colloquial use of the language.

I think it is saying that they are at work and will post the results when they get home in the evening.

I am an' t work and of evening hebbe we and brijloft for the complete cantor.

lol is this from google translate?

[BC59]

No, I just used the Altavista Babel Fish Traducer. The words not translated should be names or something.

I'm a native speaker: I'm working and tonight we have a wedding for the entire cantor.

Although this sure isn't a properly written dutch sentence, lot's of spelling errors.

Doesn't cantor mean office?

[hanzj]

The author of the Dutch sentence has told me the English:

"I am working today and have the office party tonight."

[lisati]

Doesn't cantor mean office?

If so, and if Google translate is reliable, it's a typo for kantoor.

(My Dutch cousins might frown on my ignorance.)

Fluent in Afrikaans and can read/understand Dutch (they're related) and to me the sentence translates to

"I'm at work and tonight we are having a wedding for the entire office"

The wedding part does not make sense assuming brijloft is actually misspelled bruiloft(dutch)=bruilof(afrikaans)=wedding(english ).

Bruiloft means 'wedding feast' so maybe they are just having a feast at work unless someone from work actually got married and having a chow/party for everyone at work.

The author of the Dutch sentence has told me the English:

"I am working today and have the office party tonight."

Do me a favour and ask him why he refers to the office party as a 'brijloft/bruiloft', I would really like to know as it generally refers to a wedding(feast).

Doesn't cantor mean office?

Nope, that's "kantoor", cantor is someone who sings in churches and it's the same word in Dutch.
