Native Sorani speaker needed for one short dialogue from movie Turtles Can Fly (2004)
Hello everyone,
I am currently restoring the Serbian subtitles for Bahman Ghobadi's film *Turtles Can Fly* (2004).
This is a completely non-commercial volunteer project. My goal is not simply to translate the film, but to preserve the original meaning of the Sorani dialogue as faithfully as possible.
After comparing the original Sorani dialogue with the available Persian, English, French, Arabic and Turkish subtitles, as well as Sorani dictionaries and speech-recognition tools, I have reached one very short section of dialogue (about 20–25 seconds) where all available sources disagree with one another.
I am therefore looking for a native Sorani speaker who would be willing to listen to this short audio excerpt.
I need help with only ONE sentence, spoken by an elderly Iranian Kurdish doctor.
If possible, I would greatly appreciate:
• the original Sorani transcription,
• a phonetic transcription (optional),
• a literal English translation,
• and, if applicable, an explanation of any idiomatic or regional expression.
I am NOT looking for a subtitle translation of the whole dialogue. The surrounding conversation is included only to provide context.
The audio clip is ready and I will upload it immediately if anyone is willing to help.
Many thanks in advance to anyone willing to help preserve the original Sorani dialogue.
Thank you very much for your time.
