Always use the search function before opening a new thread: if you find a previous discussion about the same topic, add a post to that thread rather than open a new thread about the same subject. When you do that the old thread moves up to the top of the forum.
A very easy way to look up a key word is to use the WR dictionary: you will find the translation of the word you enter and, at the bottom of the page, a list of links to all the threads which have that word in the title.
If after searching you do not find any relevant threads, go ahead and open a new one. Here are some helpful hints on how to do it.
Every time you have a new question you must open a NEW THREAD in the relevant forum.
You must ask specific and detailed questions and you write the sentence/word you are asking about also in the thread body, and not only in the thread title.
Do not forget to use proper capitalization and punctuation but not the chatspeak ( pls, thx, btw..).
You may want to read this little tutorial, it will help you choose the right title: How do I choose a good thread title?(<-- CLICK HERE)
( Put the ORIGINAL sentence in the title, NOT your translation attempt - avoid titles such as "help!!", "translation please!" and the like )
Do not forget that you must always acknowledge the source and provide some context(<-- CLICK HERE).
Please always post also your translation attempt.
