Did I translate right?

[munzy]

Thank you for the help again...
Yes, now your example it's even too much clear now... but I read carefully everytime the explanations... it's not that I read quickly or superficially... but sometimes english it's ambiguos too for an italian! XD

I did not understand before because there was the last phrase that missing between the " ". so I was scary to have understand wrong...
but now it's clear of course... thanks again

I know, these things are not good to starts to translations... but I really want to translate... it's a thing apart anyway... I'm also study japanese from other books... but from time to time I want to translate also this blog;

Now I go to study again! XD
Thanks!

アー写　＝　アーチスト写真 = photos of the artist (for promotion purposes)

"I wonder if it was because they took the artist's photos in the snow."

Ah! That's what it mean, a photos of the artist (for promotion purposes)!
Thank you so much!

"cold's base"??? What is that?
"I'm going to"?? No. "I have come to ~~" or "I am at~~".

"I am at the bar with O-Rin, the bassist."

[munzy]

Ahhh... that's what it was... >_<
Thank you!

I have a little doubt, to understand better I need to ask you, the きております form, I knew as rule that "おります" (after the -te form of a verb) verb indicating continuing action or state ... so I thought the verb "きて" (to come, to arrive etc.. ) why is not translate as "I'm coming to the bar..." etc..?

Hello..... I have a question about this word "デスクーク" it's desk, but what's the"ーク" ?

結構デスクークが残ってた............
it remains the desk.......... ?

最近机で作業することが多いのでデスク回りはお気に入 りのもので固めてます

Since there's many things to work on my desk recently, I'm gathering (with) my favorite things around my desk

(I think I understand it but I can't write in english correctly)

I have to repeat what the other Japanese have already told you here a few times. Translation between Japanese and English doesn't work like that. They aren't at all related languages.

"I'm coming to the bar." means the speaker has not arrived at the bar yet. He is either getting ready to go to the bar or is now on his way to the bar.

きております means "one has already arrived at a place and is still staying there."

It has to be a typo for デスクワーク.
結構デスクークが残ってた = I had left more deskwork undone (than I thought).

最近机で作業することが多いのでデスク回りはお気に入りのもので固めてます

Since there's many things to work on my desk recently, I'm gathering (with) my favorite things around my desk

(I think I understand it but I can't write in english correctly)

Since I work on my desk a lot lately, I have a large collection of my favorite things around it.

The original is a horrible sentence that uses both 机 and デスク. That's in bad taste by any standard. This person is not in control of his own writing.

Thanks a lot for the help... I'm understand a lot of new things.... m(_ _)m

This specific word from what word derive exactly?
"固めてます"



I was curious about this "結構" literally what mean this word? (in the case I will find again in future?):

I'm sorry that I did not understand, but really I try my best to not commit mistakes, but I was follow that rules that I read in grammar japanese's books that after the -te form of a verb , a verb indicating continuing action or state , that's why I add '-ing' ... I could never know that it was wrong... now I wonder.... in future... how I can understand when I can add the -ing and when not? Is not so easy for not japanese people to understand this... even if you said that japanese don't works like english, I know, but if a read a rule that tell me this, and there's was someone like you that correct me, I would never know this... that's what scary me.... °O°
I hope you are not mad with me, to help me.... °O°

In which sense is horrible to use 机 and デスク together in any standard? In the sense that is bad to use kanji and katakana in the same sentence? But I don't understand why.. O.o

Thanks again for the help!
