So, i was playing LBP beta, and i saw a really stupid translation to a portuguese word wich really bugs me.

You americans have 2 or more uses for the word "left".

example: "i left the room" and "Phil is the only one left in the room"

So we have different defenitions, for the "exiting left" we say "Sair" from the verb "to exit" and for the "other left" we say "restante" it is very similar from the verb " to remain".

So in Little Big Planet, when im in a online game and it says someone "left" it says for example " Kandros restantes" wich is similar to "Kandros remaining", wich is really annoying instead of saying just "Kandros saiu" tath is "Kandros left"

I hope i was clear and they resolve this in the time the games really comes out, it looks like they gone to babelfish and tranlated it for english.

That doesnt seem right. I dont mean to be a dick and correct your english but arent those two the same uses of the word "left?"

The real two uses are: " I Left the room." and "I can tell you are turning left."

That would be correct.

No he is also right. its left, as in exited, and left, as in remaining. whereas you said left, as in a direction, so youre both right

Good job. Lol, since this game is British should we expect slight grammatical differences?

Colour...color?
