Todd: Hey, Jeff this is a very nice apartment.

Jeff: Hmm.

It’s comfortable. It’s cozy. Japanese style.

Todd: I like it. It’s got the tatami mat, small kitchen. Do you live alone?

Jeff: I live alone but right now I have a friend of mine staying with me. Jeff: Ich lebe allein, aber im Moment wohnt ein Freund von mir bei mir.

Todd: Oh, really, a roommate.

Jeff: Sort of like a roommate, yes. A short term, he’s staying with me short-term, so yes a roommate.

Todd: OK, how’s that going?

Jeff: Ah, I don’t like it.

Todd: Why?

Jeff: He’s lazy.

He’s messy. He drinks too much. He doesn’t exercise and he doesn’t contribute any money to the rent.

Todd: Ooh, so he lives here and he doesn’t give you any money?

Jeff: Well, yeah, he doesn’t give me any money. The money’s not so bad, though, it’s just that he’s lazy and he doesn’t do much all day. Das Geld ist gar nicht so schlecht, er ist einfach nur faul und macht den ganzen Tag nicht viel. Gerçi para o kadar da kötü değil, sadece tembel ve bütün gün pek bir şey yapmıyor.

Todd: That’s got to be pretty annoying. Bu oldukça sinir bozucu olmalı.

Jeff: He’s a great fellow. Jeff: O harika bir adam.

He’s a good friend of mine, but, yeah, he’s, I try to motivate him to do a few things but he’s a tough one. İyi bir arkadaşım ama evet, onu birkaç şey yapması için motive etmeye çalışıyorum ama o zor biri.

Todd: Are you going to tell him he has to move out?

Jeff: Ah, no, he’s a smart man. Jeff: Ah, nein, er ist ein kluger Mann. He knows. Er weiß es. He knows. He knows the deal. Er kennt das Geschäft. Anlaşmayı biliyor. He knows what’s going on and I think he’s, yeah, I would never ask him to move out because I don’t mind having him here but I’m just going to try to whip him into shape. Er weiß, was los ist, und ich denke, er ist, ja, ich würde ihn nie bitten, auszuziehen, weil es mir nichts ausmacht, ihn hier zu haben, aber ich werde einfach versuchen, ihn auf Vordermann zu bringen. Neler olup bittiğinin farkında ve bence, evet, ondan asla taşınmasını istemem çünkü burada olmasını umursamıyorum ama sadece onu forma sokmaya çalışacağım.

Todd: Oh, so you’re just going to try to change him so he becomes a better roommate? Todd: Oh, du versuchst also einfach, ihn zu ändern, damit er ein besserer Mitbewohner wird? Todd: Yani daha iyi bir oda arkadaşı olması için onu değiştirmeye mi çalışacaksın?

Jeff: I’m going to be like a woman and try to, yeah, try to get him a better schedule, a better schedule (yeah) like exercise and eating right and less smoking and less drinking. Jeff: Ich werde wie eine Frau sein und versuchen, ihm einen besseren Zeitplan zu verschaffen, einen besseren Zeitplan (ja), wie Sport und richtige Ernährung und weniger Rauchen und weniger Trinken. Jeff: Bir kadın gibi davranacağım ve ona daha iyi bir program, egzersiz, doğru beslenme, daha az sigara ve daha az içki gibi daha iyi bir program (evet) yaptırmaya çalışacağım.

Todd: Well, what is his schedule? Todd: Nun, wie sieht sein Zeitplan aus?

Jeff: Ah, his schedule is, he’s like a night owl, he stays up most of the night drinking, and then he sleeps most of the day recovering, and then when he gets up he has a hangover.

He’s a bit sluggish and slow, so it’s not a healthy lifestyle.

Todd: Yeah, it doesn’t sound like it. Todd: Ja, das hört sich nicht so an. Todd: Evet, öyle görünmüyor. Good luck.

Jeff: No problem.
