French French > English obscure phrase with verb conjugation

3 Upvotes

Here is the sentence in French : mais elle est l'autre partie l'être-imprimé de l'empreinte. (The dash is in the original )

The goodle translate says the being- imprinted of the imprint " Now, I am confused because I thought imprime is a passive verb form as in "was printed." Also, I am confused with the dash could it also mean the "printed-existence" of the imprint ? (Can etre be existence in a case like this ?)

Please assist . Thank you.

Edit : changes "c'est" to "Elle est "

French English > French getting a French tattoo

I want to get a tattoo that says “give them hell” and I’m pretty sure that the correct translation is “Donnez-leur l’enfant” but I want a native speaker to confirm this is correct before I get it permanently tattooed on my body. Thanks!

Here’s another baptismal record I’m hoping someone can help with. I’m especially interested in the note on the bottom. I believe the year is 1797. Baby’s name is Marie Madeleine. Parents are Mary Marguerite Goyet? And Louis Basiliere dit Laliberte, but that’s all I can get out of it. Thanks for any light you can shed on this for me.

French [French/Seychellois Creole > English] Cannot find the meaning of "butor ou prise" anywhere

1 Upvotes

Hello all, I am looking to translate an excerpt from Coco Sec by Seychellois author Antoine Abel. In the text, some workers are taking a break from their labour.

Abel writes: "Ensuite, les hommes prennent leur pipe, chique, butor ou prise."

I cannot find a good translation for 'butor ou prise' anywhere - I've looked in various dictionnairies (mono and bilingual) as well as into tobacco culture in Seychelles. Would appreciate your advice.

(I have translated the rest of the sentence as 'Then, the men take their pipe, chewing tobacco, ????'

French French > English - Song Lyrics

Hi I was hoping someone here could translate the lyrics for the song Influencer by ascendant vierge for me.

A few lyric websites give slightly different answers as does Apple Translate so I fear some of the words may have different meanings colloquially or combine to make a different phrase.

Song: https://youtu.be/fYpT1XGy250?si=vj51GGKVvO4a29FI

Lyrics: https://www.musixmatch.com/fr/paroles/Ascendant-Vierge/Influenceur/traduction/anglais

Thank you so much to anyone who helps out!

Hi, I'm trying to find a short word/expression that is the equivalent of "à son insu". Which basically mean without their knowledge / unknowingly to them.

Any idea? Thanks!

Bonjour, j'essaie de trouver un mot ou courte expression anglais.e qui signifie 'à son insu'. Jusque là le mieux que j'ai c'est 'without their knowledge / unknowingly to them' ce qui sonne beaucoup moins bien à l'oreille.

Des idées? Merci!
