Can someone help me translate this sentence,Ich habe von der Universitate gratuliert und mochte etw. zu machen

Question

Ich habe von der Universitate gratuliert und mochte etw. zu machen.

Can someone translate this sentence into English?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Well, I am german and this sentence does make no sense to me! I could only guess what this sentence is supposed to say but there is at least three different choices.

Where did you get this sentence from? Where did you read it? I might be able to properly translate if I know what else was written.

Right now this sentence says : I have congratulated from the university and want something to do!

Doesn't make sense whatsoever !

Answer 2

I agree with Lovely. The sentence is gramatically incorrect.

etw. is a abbriviation for etwas (something)

Answer 3

I have graduated from the University and would like something to do.

Answer 4

Babelfish translates it like this:

I congratulated of the Universitate and might have made etw..

I don't know German, but I think it means that the person graduated from a university and nearly earned some honor. Maybe "etw" refers to some honor like magna *** laude, or it could mean they went to graduate school and nearly got a higher degree, but didn't finish graduate school.
