C’era una volta il telegramma, ai suoi tempi il modo più rapido per effettuare una comunicazione importante sulle lunghe distanze. Era un sistema alquanto costoso e, poiché si pagava a parola, si faceva il possibile per ridurre il numero di parole al minimo indispensabile per comunicare il messaggio voluto. Oggi, nell’era digitale, il telegramma è del tutto superato, ma noi ne prendiamo spunto per fare un simpatico gioco linguistico.
Utilizzando tutte e soltanto le lettere della parola qui sotto, strettamente in ordine, bisogna comporre un telegramma – serio, giocoso o folle che sia! Non ci sono particolari regole e la normale grammatica può essere in parte tralasciata a scapito del messaggio da comunicare. Si possono, per esempio, togliere articoli, ridurre il verbo al participio passato invece di coniugarlo, spezzare il messaggio in due o più frasi, firmare alla fine e così via. Chiaramente si gioca molto con i nomi propri, le parentele, i titoli, i mestieri, il genitivo sassone, gli aggettivi e gli avverbi: l’importante è venire fuori con un messaggio comprensibile!
Bene! Ecco la tua parola:
Ed ecco un esempio per far capire come si gioca:
Frank Answered Rachel’s Mother Extremely Rudely.
(Frank rispose alla madre di Rachel in maniera molto rude.)
Non essere timido e unisciti al gioco lasciando il tuo telegramma (con la traduzione in italiano) nei commenti. È una sfida divertente!

Firefighters Are Reconditioning Many Extinguishers Registered
I’m wonderring if it shouldn’t be “many registered extinguishers”. Unfortunately you must still put the adjectives before the nouns even in a telegram!

Fixing A Riddle Makes Everyone Remarkable
I’m curious at to what you mean by “fixing” here, Mauro. Perhaps “fathoming” would be more appropriate?
Well, it’s a kind of poetic license, and it stands for “Solving”
I see only now that you suggested Fathoming.
I couldn’t agree morw.
(Suggesting Fathoming, you also answered what I unconsciously meant for “Fixing a Riddle”, didn’t you?)
Yes, it occured to me afterwards (and I have the prerogative of being able to edit my posts!)
In effect, “fix” is used more typically in the sense of “repair” rather than “resolve”.

First Attempt Runs Memorizing Exact Rules
Meaning is not clear, Paolo. What’s your idea here?
I thougt that to be succesful in my attempt to solve the first Telegram, I should have well memorised the rules you had drawn… Il primo tentativo “viene bene” memorizzando le regole esatte…
But, as you can see, it was late in the night…
OK, now I see what you were trying to do here. The problem is the verb. How about “First Attempt Requires Memorising Exact Rules”? It’s not quite the same meaning but it works.
This is exactly what I wanted to say… I didn’t think to “require” (that is the appropriate verb), and I thought “run” because it always sounds to me like a “sort of slang”, and I like it…

“Absolute” should be “absolutely” here, Claudio. I’m nos sure about the correspondence between “rush” and “reclutamento”. I think I prefer “rush”, it sounds like an advertisement for a roller-coaster! 😀
