what does that mean please :

'Musik är ingen hobby, det är ett kall !'

thanks.

Music is not a hobby, it's a call


not a phonecall like, but err... dunno how i'd say it in english...

... found it.. vocation.. so finally:

Music's not a hobby, it's a vocation..

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

oh great. its a bit a 'i dont do music for fame or for money, but FOR LIFE' type of sentence. thanks.

 

[rafael]

yeah.. you can say so.

 

[intet]

kall = calling. nobody really uses vocation, do they? hmm maybe they do.

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

i thought it meant something like that yeah.

 

[rafael]

Yeah... that's what I first meant, but I wasn't sure if I was right or wrong in the translation so I checked a dictionary and it said both calling and vocation. Thought 'vocation' was maybe more proffesionally speaking, but I didn't really know what it meant.

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

its alright mate i got the point, thanks.

 

[rafael]

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]
