| | Shouldn't it be "from the very beginning"? |
| |

| | Yes.. or "You play right from the beginning"... |

| | OK, but my interpretation was that the speaker was surprised by the lack of progress of the addressee even though they started at the same time. Is that wrong? |

| | Hey 
I think that you were misled by the "sam" word. Even though "sam" may mean "the same", it's not what it means here.
It's a popular phrase which is used like that:
"od samego poczÄ…tku" - "from the very beginning"
"do samego końca" - "to the very end"
"na samym końcu" - "at the very end"
"na samej górze" - "at the very top"
etc.

| | Hi Shaneeae,
"...but the fact that you play so long and you have so little already means something."
I think that would sound better as:
"...but the fact that you have played for so long and have so little, already means something."
What do you think?

| | Yes, it would. But I chose not to do it that way to preserve the tense of the original.
I can change it if that's a problem. |

| | Well...I don't know...it sounds a little wrong to me. 
Sometimes we have to change the tenses in order to get a "natural" sound to the ears of the native speakers of the target language. |
