今、朝5時半に、地震があった。ちょっと強いから、お母さんが起きた。(お母さんが僕と一緒に留めて、僕は夜間カラオケから帰ったんだから、寝てなかった。)
Just now at 5:30, there was an earthquake. It was quite strong, so it woke up my mother- she's staying here now, and I just got back from all night karaoke so I wasn't asleep.

C'est un peu incroyable que je suis retourné aux É-U de France il y a deux ans. Je pense souvent au sujet de la France et que j'ai envie d'y retourner aussi vite que possible, mais je ne sais pas si ma vie en France me manque plus que la France soi-même me manque. En fait, je n'ai aucune idée.

Je ne veux pas dire que je suis malcontent ici, mais, d'un façon, l'Ohio est ennuyeux. Ma vie me semble assez ennuyeuse.

I'd simply say: Je pense souvent à la France
Also: mécontent, and une façon

Als ich die Hauswand*1) geschlagen habe, wollte ich mich selbst verletzen. Deshalb hatte ich Angst vor mir selbst. Ich habe seit langem nichts selbstzerstörerisches machen wollen.
When I punched the wall, I wanted to hurt myself. That's why I was afraid of myself. I haven't wanted to do anything self-destructive for a long time.

Ich habe interessanterweise auch im Türkischen aus Versehen den Dativ benutzt, weil ich zuerst zarar vermek und dann yaralamak benutzt habe. Im Deutschen habe ich zuerst wehtun geschrieben und das dann durch verletzen ersetzt, aber ich habe den Fehler nur im Türkischen bemerkt.
İlginç ki türkçede de ismin e halini yanlışlıkla kullandım, çünkü önce "zarar vermek" ve sonra "yaralamak" yazdım. Almancada önce "wehtun" ama sonra "verletzen" yazdım ama yalnız türkçede hatamı fark ettim.
Interestingly, I accidentally used the dative in Turkish too, because I used zarar vermek and then changed it to yaralamak, and in German, I turned wehtun into verletzen. I only noticed the mistake in Turkish

Oh mein Gott. Wie sagt man "change X into Y" auf Deutsch, wie im obigen englischen Satz? Mir fallen gerade nur "X durch Y ersetzen" und "X in Y verwandeln" ein. Wie übersetzt man am Besten "I turned wehtun into verletzen"?

*1) Czy to było ściana zewnętrzna? Jeżeli nie, to będzie wprost Wand.
*1) Was it an exterior wall? If not, it's only Wand.

Ja. Ich war auf der Straße auf dem Heimweg. Beton.
Evet. Sokakta eve yoldaydım. Beton.
Yeah. I was on the street on my way home. Concrete.

Am Donnerstag fliege ich nach London. Das wird mein erstes Mal in einer Stadt sein, die größer ist als Sydney.
Perşembe günü Londra'ya uçuyorum. Sidney'den daha büyük şehirde ilk defa olacağım.
I'm flying to London on Thursday. It's going to be my first time in a city that's bigger than Sydney.

ersetzen is OK. You can also say "Ich habe wehtun in verletzen geändert". But verwandeln doesn't fit - you use it only for magic or metaphorically, e.g.:
Seine Hochnäsigkeit verwandelte ihre anfängliche Bewunderung in Abneigung.
Jego zarozumialstwo zmieniło jej początkowy podziw w niechęć.
"His arrogance turned her initial admiration into dislike."

Melkhuizen... sounds like a Dutch family name


HAHAHA, apparently it really is a (but very rare) last name. And a place in a dairy where you store the milk (milk house in English, apparently)

Danke! Solche Sachen sind äußerst schwer in Wörterbüchern zu finden. Ich hätte auch meinen Mitbewohner fragen können, aber das war irgendwie zu peinlich, denn ich hätte das eigentlich wissen sollen.
Teşekkürler! Böyle şeyler sözlüklerde bulmak çok zor. Ev arkadaşıma da sorabilirdim ama herhangi bir şekilde benim için çok utandırıcı, çünkü bunu gerçekten bilmeliydim.
Thanks! Things like this are really difficult to find in dictionaries. I could have asked my flatmate too, but somehow it was too embarrassing because I really should have known it.

Ja, ich wusste, dass verwandeln nicht richtig ist.
Evet, "verwandeln"ın yanlış olduğunu bildim.
Yeah, I knew that verwandeln wasn't right.

Well apparently 牛乳屋, literally cow-milk-house, is a term for a dairy or for the milkman.

Nu fick jag reda på att det faktiskt finns nåt som heter "milkhouse". Men nu måste vi bestämma vad ett mjölkhem är för nåt.
Now I found out that there is actually something called a "milkhouse". But we must decide what a milkhome would be.

[Imralu]

Yaşlı sütün yaşaması için ev.
A house for old milk to live in.

Haha. Google Translate bu ifadeyi "Homes for the elderly to live in milk" olarak çevirdi. (Yaşlıların sütte yaşamaları için evler.)
Haha. Google Translate translated that phrase as "Homes for the elderly to live in milk."

Londra'nın gece hayatı düpedüz acınacak! İlk gittiğimiz kulüp saat on ikiden önce herkesi kovup kapılarını kapattı. Bir saat sonra ikinci gittiğimiz kulüpte aynı hikaye oldu. Kulüplerden vazgeçmeye karar verdik. Açtık, Burger King'e gittik, yemek olarak adlandırılan şeylerimizi alıp yedik ama saat iki herkes oradan da kovuldu. Bir arkadaşımız hala yemek yiyordu ve bittiğine kadar kalacağız söyledik. Bir güvenlik görevlisi bizi taciz edip bir sandalye yere çarparak gözümüzü korkuttu. Tümüyle yabancı da içeriye girip bizi taciz etti çünkü kurallara bağlı kaldı ve oturduğumuzu görerek, kuralları çiğnediğimizi inandı. Güvenlik görevlisi yabancıyı kovmadı, tacizini izledi, hiç bir şey yapmadı. O bize "siktirip gidin" dedi bile ve polisi çağıracaklar dedi.
London's nightlife is utterly ridiculous! The first club we went to drove everyone out before midnight and closed its doors. One hour later, at the second club we went to, the same story happened. We decided to give up on clubs. We were hungry. We went to Burger King, bought our "food" kind of substances and at two o'clock, everyone was driven out of there too. One of our friends was still eating and we said we were going to stay until he was finished. A security guard harassed us, threatened us by slamming a chair into the ground. A complete stranger also came in and harrassed us too because he had followed the rules and when he saw us sitting down he thought we were breaking the rules. The security guard didn't try to throw out the stranger, he watched his harassment, he didn't do anything. He even told us to "fuck off" and said they were going to call the police.

Evet, Çoktan çok defa yağmur yağdı.
Yeah, it's rained several times already.

Brits... The minute you give them a taste of power they really let it go to their head and get antsy.

Когда я долетила до Лутона, было разбито колёсико моего чемодана, и не смогла её задвигать, то взяла мне одно из пяти инвалидных кресел, которые нашлись в выходе из багажной карусели, и положила на нём чемодан. Дошёл кричащий британец, сказал, что я не могу, из-за инвалидов, то ему сказала я, что нет одного инвалида в (малюсеньком) аэропорту, а и так есть же ещё четыре кресла. Чем больше кричал он, тем продолжала я к выходу с креслом, а потом понял он, что я не слушаюсь, и отвалил. Просто хотел проявлять свою власть надо мной.

When I flew to Luton, one of the wheels of my suitcase was broken and I couldn't move it, so I took one of the five wheelchairs that were at the exit from the luggage carousel, and put on it my suitcase. A shouty Brit came and said that I can't, because of the disabled people, so I told him that there's no disabled people in the (tiny) airport, and that anyway there's still four chairs left. The more he shouted the more I carried on towards the exit with the chair, and then he understood that I'm not listening, and pissed off. He just wanted to show his authority over me.

אולי זה יהיה לי טוב אם אני אתחיל לכתוב בלוג ביידיש. אומרים שהקהילה של דוברי יידיש באינטרנט היא לא כזה קטנה. אם אף אחד לא יקרא את הבלוג שלי, לפחות אני יודע שאסטרייוס יקרא את זה בשבילי. בלוג ביידיש זה רעיון טוב, כי יעזור לי להשתפר בשפה, ועכשיו זה חשוב, כי העבודה הראשונה שלי לאחר הלימודים היא צריכה שאני אדע משהו בקשר לשפת יידיש.

Maybe I should start writing a blog in Yiddish. They say that the community of Yiddish-speakers on the Internet isn't too small. If it should happen that nobody reads my blog, at least I know that Astraios will read it for me. A Yiddish blog is really a good idea, as it'll help me to improve my Yiddish, which is important now, because my first job after my studies requires me to know something about the Yiddish language.
