Languages

[OneBun]

This site has so many people from around the world. It would be great to learn a little about each other's languages, and maybe even chat about this topic a bit. It might even help us to conquer some of those language barriers in the games we play! :wink:

Here's a topic to start:

How do you say:"Hi, How are you today" in your native language?

[Hollandgirl]

Hoi, hoe gaat het met je vandaag?? This is in Dutch :) you pronounce the g different, but can't explain how.. ;)

[Eternal Becky]

Shalom,manish ma? That is Hebrew ofcourse.

Namaste, aap kaise ho? That's Hindi (Language spoken in India)

[OneBun]

Is the "v" in "vandaag" like a "f" sound like engish "father" or is it more like "violin?"I ask b/c it is more like the English "f" in German. I think your "g" is more throaty...I understand b/c German is the same way.

[Mistery]

Hungarian: Szia, hogy vagy ma?

German: Hallo, wie geht es dir heute?

(And for the curious ones here is the Bernese German version: Hallo, wi geits dr h?t?)

[OneBun]

Shalom,manish ma? That is Hebrew ofcourse.

Namaste, aap kaise ho? That's Hindi (Language spoken in India)

I almost took Hebrew but the class was full so I ended up in German. :wink:

Is "Namaste, aap kaise ho?" pronounced exactly the way it looks" or are the letters sounding different than in English?

Mistery's were all easy for me. :wink:

See, I told ya all I wanna learn. lol :D

[Jellybean]

i don't know much but here's what i know
nine german for no
ce spanish for yes
pendejo spanish for asshole (i think)
megwetch native american(ojibewa) for thank you
bishiki native american (ojibewa) for buffalo
that's all i can think of right now

[Eternal Becky]

I almost took Hebrew but the class was full so I ended up in German. :wink:

Is "Namaste, aap kaise ho?" pronounced exactly the way it looks" or are the letters sounding different than in English?

Mistery's were all easy for me. :wink:

See, I told ya all I wanna learn. lol :D

Yes "Namaste, aap kaise ho?" is pronounced exactly the way it looks.
I do speak one more Indian language called "Marathi". But I couldn't learn "Sanskrit". It's really tough, just like Hebrew.

[OneBun]

I love reading up on Native American languages. There is a great storing site for Native languages: http://www.nativeculturelinks.com/natlang.html

You should check it out!

[Mistery]

What a collection :-)

May I add a small correction, Jellybean: no in German is spelled "nein" ;-)

[OneBun]

Yes "Namaste, aap kaise ho?" is pronounced exactly the way it looks.

There is a very nice person in my Counseling Lab who is from a suburb of New Delhi, India. She too speaks Sanskrit. She told me that it is a very old language. It is neat seeing all the languages all of you smart people speak!

[Jellybean]

What a collection :-)

May I add a small correction, Jellybean: no in German is spelled "nein" ;-)
i knew i'd spell some stuff wrong! lol
and wow, there's alot of languages on that website onebun

[Eternal Becky]

This is the most sacred word in Sanskrit which says "OM". Used a lot during meditaion.

[OneBun]

My favorite German phrase is:

Was schauen Sie mich so an?

oder (or)

Vahs shahohayn zeeh meehsh zo ahn?"

Engish translation: Why are you looking at me?

I say this to my Husbandall the time...so now he even knows what it means! lol :P

[Mistery]

Again a small correction (sorry!), but it means: What/why are you looking at me?

What are you looking at would be the same but without the word "mich", lol :-)

[Hollandgirl]

Is the "v" in "vandaag" like a "f" sound like engish "father" or is it more like "violin?"I ask b/c it is more like the English "f" in German. I think your "g" is more throaty...I understand b/c German is the same way.

yes, our g is more throaty, but it's not like the german, the german is too soft for us ;) like tommy emmanuel once told: dutch is not a language, it's a throat disease.. so you should talk like you have a throat disease :P you gotta feel the 'g' in the back of your throat :P
and i dunno the real difference in te v of violin or the f in father, but take the v in violin, it's a soft one ;)

i learned polish a teeny tiny bit, i can only say:
ras, dwza, trze, sterre (i dunno how to write polish, this is one, two, three, four)
koerde (damn)

my guitar teacher is polish, so he learned me koerde (by saying it all the time when he lost something :P) and i went to two courses in poland, and they kept counting and some girl taught me the 'i am' stuff, which i only remember half and she taught me how to say 'i love you' which i forgot :P

btw try to say ten times really fast: zeven scheve schotse schaatsen schaatsen scheef!!! and the sch have to be pronounced like a g (a throaty g, really hard) even the dutch have problems saying this sentence ;)

bonjour, comment vas-tu, aujourd'hui ? i thought this was frence for hi, how are you today..

[OneBun]

Opps my Englisch was a bit off...lol I meant to write..."Why" not "What" d'oh! :what:I go to fix it now!

However, it was an easy mistake b/c "What are you looking at?" and "Why are you looking at me?" imply the same thing in American English.

[Hollandgirl]

gtg guys, tomorrow an english test! i hate the english grammar! i'm just making sentences as i want them in here, but in those tests, you have to make them just right and there can't be one word out of place or it's wrong... :@

[OneBun]

yes, our g is more throaty, but it's not like the german, the german is too soft for us ;) like tommy emmanuel once told: dutch is not a language, it's a throat disease.. so you should talk like you have a throat disease :P you gotta feel the 'g' in the back of your throat :P

bonjour, comment vas-tu, aujourd'hui ? i thought this was frence for hi, how are you today..
I heard form one of my German teachers that the Dutch try to set themselves apart form German. I guess she was right! lol

My father-in law is Polish and speaks it well...never taught it to my Husband...such a shame to me. I try to pick up a bit from him. He sings "Happy Birthday," in Polish, to anyone who has a birthday in my family. The words mean something very different than the English version.

You'll do fine. Your English here has been great!

[Mistery]

gtg guys, tomorrow an english test! i hate the english grammar! i'm just making sentences as i want them in here, but in those tests, you have to make them just right and there can't be one word out of place or it's wrong... :@

Good luck for your test tomorrow!

[bone2stone]

HA HA...i'm asian. speak chinese, taiwanese, english, and a little of japenese.

chinese we use this system called pin yin. and have an alphabet of our own. but we don't use the alphabet to create a word just our own way of how to pronouce something. we use characters to create words, every character is unique in its own way. not like english where we use the same letters. also we have tones...which are ways to say the words. it's sort of complicated to explain.
the easiest thing i can think of right now is hello in chinese, i can't actually write it down. but i can give a spelling of how to pronounce it!
HELLO: nee how (pronounciation)
but the english is catching on now...so alot of people say hello or hi. but it's still nice to know the PROPER way.

[Mistery]

I heard that before but don't remember in which context.
Anyway it's nice to know that because what most people on this forums know/recognize in Chinese and Japanese is "the door is locked", lol!

[OneBun]

...what most people on this forums know/recognize in Chinese and Japanese is "the door is locked", lol!
So true lol!

Bone2stone,
Maybe you could teach us the words: "The key is hidden here." lol jk
Anyway, that is so cool to hear. I cannot read or say anything in any Asian languages...except for my new learned greeting from you. :wink:

[swineflesh]

ihay allay hatway ouyay allay alkingtay aboutay? this is pig latin to speak it just take the first letter from a word (unless its a voul or vowl i forget how to spell it..) and put it on the end and ad ay to it see if you can read what i said?

[Jess]

ihay allay hatway ouyay allay alkingtay aboutay? this is pig latin to speak it just take the first letter from a word (unless its a voul or vowl i forget how to spell it..) and put it on the end and ad ay to it see if you can read what i said?



I think I got it?! Hi all what you all talking about

I only know Latin, which I hate, but when I say something in it poeple stare at me like I am crazy.

Here is goodbye salve(the "v" is pronouced like a "w")

[Hollandgirl]

i will not look at you like you're crazy, i promiss, i speak a bit latin too ;) (but only those stupid words abour fighting, can you imagine, i've learned about 5 words for 'to die' or for 'to kill' but none to say 'hi'!!)

[bone2stone]

thanks. i think it's cool to know something like Latin. but it would be even cooler if someone knew a really really dead language.

THANKS: xie xie (in pin yin)

Thanks: she-a she-a AHH!!! it's so hard to write it down for someone to pronounce. and there's a tone for this word.

she-a she-a and say it REALLY fast. don't go.....she----------a no. that's not it. hmmm.....oh i know.

Taiwanese for Thanks: sa sa (pronouciation) "sa sa" the s is like ssssssssss...and the a is just how you say the letter a. almost like saying "say" but not really.the tone is "down" umm....like when you thANKS. the ANKS goes down. err...is exaggarated. AHH>>>>i'm so bad at explaining this. i'm so sorry.

[Mistery]

No, you explained well I guess. It is difficult to explain how to pronounce things, but you did well. I practised a bit. I guess I have to find someone from Taiwan tomorrow and say it, then wait for the reaction to know if I did it well ;-)

[OneBun]

Thanx bone2stone! You explained quite well. I will try to learn those phrases as well. That is so cool to learn! :D

[bone2stone]

thanx!
well right now i'm trying to think of something else that is easier to explain. i just have to think. think. think. think. ahhh!!!! ummm.....
YOUR WELCOME chinese: bu???? kuh!!!!!!!! chi!!!!!!!!!
ok. it looks stupid. but it's the best way i can do to make the tones here.
? the question mark is just the tone you set when you say this word. it's almost like you are asking a question. such as.....HELLO????? that tone. just say BU??? not buh! but Booo???????
! well that is when you set a tone when you go YES!!!!!! just say kuh!!!! and same thing with chi........cheeeee....

i'm doing my best here. but now with the ???? and !!! it looks stupider. ahhh...well i gotta go. have chinese school in 30 min.

[Mistery]

Lol, you should have seen the expression on my hubby's face when I tried to say it right :-D

[OneBun]

Thanx again bone2stone for such great efforts. I am really enjoying what you have shared.

[LéTut]

Hei, hvordan har du det i dag?
(Hi, How are you today? in Norwegian)

Hmm, I don't know that many languages. No Latin or French, that's for sure. I understand German, but I have forgotten how to write or talk. I know English, though.. And I know Dannish and Swedish, would've been strange if I hadn't, they're my neighbours. I wanted to learn Dutch, but I never got that far.. I'm a bit slow :D

[Adventure]

Well, I am Dutch. So if you wanted to know something, just ask.

About my knowledge of languages: I am trying to be good in English, I know some Latin words, but can't speak it well and I know only few words in German, French and Spanish. That is all.

[bone2stone]

that' s SOOOOOOOOOOOo cool. dutch and norwegian. wooowww..........so cool........................................

oh yes....your welcome and thanks!
i always thought that fortune cookies are good for like learning chinese. but they use pin-yin. and sometimes pin-yin isn't based on how a person should say it. at least you know you fortune. once i got one that said something like you're smart because of the way you do things. i kept that one. i got it at a resteraunt where the food was SO GOOD. and had been in the newspaper with awards and stuff. i chose the resteraunt too. so i thought it was funny.

[Jess]

lol that is funny

[Hollandgirl]

all right another sentence, say it in your language:

Happy birthday and have a great day! (as it was my birthday two days ago :P)

Gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag en een fijne dag! --> Dutch

[OneBun]

I know in German:

Happy Birthday: Gl?cklich Geburtstag! ("?" is pronounced "oo" as in "cool")

Have a good day: Haben einen guten Tag! ("einen" pronounced "I-nen").

[OneBun]

Hollandgirl, you said you need to know something in German. Can you describe the class you need translated in English/German?

[Eternal Becky]

I know in German:

Happy Birthday is: Gl?cklich Geburtstag! ("?" is pronounced "oo" as in "cool")

Have a good day would be: Haben einen guten Tag! ("einen" pronounced "I-nen").

Happy Birthday in Hebrew is ~ "Yom Huledet Sameakh"

Have a good day ~ "Yom Tov" :)

[Jess]

YOu know the only language not represented hear is Spanish

[OneBun]

True! Spanish is one of the missing ones! Maybe sombody will happen along and teach us some.

[Jess]

maybe

[Hollandgirl]

Hollandgirl, you said you need to know something in German. Can you describe the class you need translated in English/German?

well, i know all the german names of the classes, but i need to tell a story around it, you know what i mean?? like: The first class is maths, which i hate, because it's so difficult. But the teacher is alright, even tough he gives us loads of homework... Something like that
th hardest part is to think of what i'm gonna tell!

[OneBun]

I see. That's a lot of work.

[Hollandgirl]

yeah i hate that teacher, she always give us loads of work, and in the end no one does it, except me and some others and then she says: ooh well, nvm.. grr :@

[Jess]

lol, annoying

[Carl]

Yes. Spanish is missing but you know, there are a million languages and dialects in the world.

I speak taglish (tagalog) and english. I didnt usually speak english. i just write it.

[Jellybean]

mashkiigimini baashkisijigani biitoosijigani bakwezhigan
ojibwa (native american) for cranberry pie

[Mistery]

Oh, that's long!!! And what does it mean literally? I suppose it is a description of the pie, isn't it?

[Hollandgirl]

i don't think i want to read a book written in native american :P

[Jellybean]

Oh, that's long!!! And what does it mean literally? I suppose it is a description of the pie, isn't it?
i guess, i'm not sure of the 'literary' things of native american language, it could be saying something like baked pie with cranberry mush inside, or something like that.

[Hollandgirl]

Guys, need your help, I forgot this word, in Dutch it's: Aflevering. But if I type it in a translating machine it says: delivery, that's not what I meant. I need to have a word, it means: One show of a televisionserie. I totally forgot, I know it but it just doesn't pop up in my mind and I need to translate it again into German.

Edit: well, now the word has come back: episode.. but now my translator just translates it into german as 'episode' but i'm pretty sure that's not the german word for it. anyone knows the correct name for it or a good translator?

[Mistery]

Episode in German can be called also Episode, but the original word for it would be "Folge".

[Hollandgirl]

thanx a lot!

[GTgirl]

I know how we say Hello, thank you, thank you very much and good bye in japanese!
Also know how to do pig latin....
Good morning!~Ooodgay orningmay! That's pig latin.
Thank you!~Arigato! That's japanese.

Also, the "ri" in the thank you word is not like ri-lie its like ri-lea.

[Supernova]

Namaste, aap kaise ho? That's Hindi (Language spoken in India)

Yea im from India and thats how we say it.

[Maniac]

hey,wow,im from India too.
What a coincidence.
Where in india u from Supernova...

[bread]

you talked in egg don't cover up your own mistakes

[Quizomatic]

Lol, im only kidding on. I've been to different forums long enough to know what spam is. I just got carried away. I know its my completely my own fault,and I apologize, and it wont happen again :D

[bread]

Lol, im only kidding on. I've been to different forums long enough to know what spam is. I just got carried away. I know its my completely my own fault,and I apologize, and it wont happen again :D

what he said:D

[Hollandgirl]

je parle un peu de français aussi, j'ai suivi la classe de français pour trois ans, et l'an prochain, c'est la dernière an je dois suivre français ...
haha lots of mistakes, i know, i haven't tried this for a month now (holiday) so..
for the people who don't speak french, this is what i tried to say: I speak a bit french too, i've followed french class for three years and next year is the last year i have to follow french

[Maniac]

lol, i understood every bit of that.

[Adventure]

Thank you for the translation. My last French lesson was about eleven years ago and I never spoke french for at least nine years. So I could understand just half of it. :P

[CikleT]

This site has so many people from around the world. It would be great to learn a little about each other's languages, and maybe even chat about this topic a bit. It might even help us to conquer some of those language barriers in the games we play! :wink:

Here's a topic to start:

How do you say:"Hi, How are you today" in your native language?


merhaba,bu g?n nasılsın? its in Turkish :)

[doglover]

You can speak Turkish?!? Could you please translate some stuff to me???

[CikleT]

sure :) write something i'll do it

[doglover]

Okay, I'll PM you...

[minsku]

Hi, how are you today?
Hei, mitä teillu kuuluu tänään?

Happy Birthday and have a great day!
Hyvää syntymäpäivää ja viettäkää hauska/hyvä päivä!

And this is finnish.

[Lilliputt]

Finish? Oh, another neighbour. All I know in that language is "Hyvää päivää!". Beautiful country, though, Finland.

[juulamiisu]

what does ?Sabes qu? significan los verbos anteriores?Observa estos ejemplos y escribe t? otros. mean ?:smile:

[GODA]

I think this might help you:
Do you know what the previous verbs mean?Look at these examples and then you write some others.

[Acelightning]

well i live in Australia and G'day means hello lol

[GTgirl]

I speak Malay and I'm shy to tell any of my language.

[Mistery]

Why? That would be very interesting :)

[GTgirl]

I don't want to. Can I PM you?

[Mistery]

Sure :)

[doglover]

Could you PM me too? I would like to know how that language sounds like :D

[lili]

Pfff, I haven't noticed we have this thread. It's kinda cool to know how ta say "Hi, how are you today?" in many languages.:) And since I have plenty of time today, I try and see if I can post with Japanese characters. (I hope everyone see them correctly..:))

How to write with Japanese letters: こんにちは。お元気ですか？
How to describe with English alphabet: Kon nichiwa. ogenki desuka?

And how it sounds like: "Kon" is like "con" in "conscious", "nichi" is "niche", "wa" is like sound of "wo" in "wow". "o" sounds like "oh", "gen" is "gain" in "again", "ki" is "key", "desu" is "des" in "desk" and "ka" sounds like "ca" in "car".
Phew, it's lots of works!:D

I know how to say it in Spanish, but I don't know how to type up-side down question mark or accent marks using my keyboard. After I figure it out, I would post again;)

[Mistery]

Hehe, just as a side-note:
As we often use translation tools for room escape games in Japanese, I just tried out what it would give me if I copy-pasted what you posted in Japanese: :D

Today. It is vigorous?

And I'm not sure if I would have interpreted this translation correctly ;)


Thanks for your post by the way :)

[Lilliputt]

Now there is one big ROFL! http://www.smileyarena.com/emoticons/Emotions/Laught/laught16.gif I thougt them alien gadgets were more reliable. :haha: Thanx for postin' Lili and Mistery. :D

[lili]

ROFL!! I re-translated it again by copy and paste it into the translator I usually use!! :haha: It's totally different form "Hi, How are you?":haha:

[GTgirl]

You know, I speak a little japanese, eat with chopsticks, eat something called Takoyaki and Tempura, takoyaki is somesort of octopus balls...really yummy and tempura is fried shrimp...yummy, really yummy with soy sauce.

[lili]

hmm, That's interesting.:) You speak some japanese and I speak some english. I'm really glad to see you.:D
BTW, could you tell me if you could see japanese letters correctly or not in this thread?

[GTgirl]

um...actually...i dunno...cause I only speak japanese not write japanese...sorry!

[Mistery]

I think they show up correctly as far as I can judge it.

[lili]

Thanks Mistery:D

Well I couldn't figure out how to write/type Spanish using my keyboard, I try to copy and paste to make a sentence.

Hola. ?C?mo est??

This is "Hi. How are you?" in Spanish. But most of you would know the verb changes according to whom you're talking to. This is the greeting to the one you're not really familiar with. :)

[Mistery]

And for someone you are familiar with, is it estas? (just guessing...)

[doglover]

@Mystery, yes, it is...
Spanish and Portuguese are two very similar languages...:P
Check the differences:
Spanish: "Hola. ¿Cómo está?"
Portuguese: "Olá. Como estás?"

[lili]

And for someone you are familiar with, is it estas? (just guessing...)
Yes, exactly!!
Hola. ?C?mo est?s?
is to whom you are familiar with.:)

@doglover, Wow!! that is quite similar:D

[Freakshow59]

hmmm. . . me hates Latin, but I'm starting to understand it a bit better. . .

[doglover]

Yes, it is, thought, in portuguese we don't use the 'reversed' question mark on the beggining of the question. We only use it on the end...

@Freakshow, I love latin, I think it is such a beautiful language...:P I wish I could learn it!!!

[ThemePark]

Hehe, just as a side-note:
As we often use translation tools for room escape games in Japanese, I just tried out what it would give me if I copy-pasted what you posted in Japanese: :D

Today. It is vigorous?

And I'm not sure if I would have interpreted this translation correctly ;)

Japanese <3 :D

In Danish you'd say "Hej. Hvordan har du det idag?"

[Mistery]

Wrong my dear robot, I was using Google Translator ;) But it's not better than Babelfish if it comes to Japanese :D

Cool, we learn Danish, too :D
And what would you answer?

[lili]

In Danish you'd say "Hej. Hvordan har du det idag?"
:mhmh:hmmm.. I can't figure how it sounds like. But I guess it's similer to German pronunciation..

[Acelightning]

Somebunny's been using Babelfish ;)




Japanese <3 :D

In Danish you'd say "Hej. Hvordan har du det idag?"

wait do u know Princess Mary??? she comes from Australia

[ThemePark]

:haha: Yes Acelightning, of course, since she's married to one of our princes and from Tasmania :) So yes, I know who Mary Donaldson is :P

Mistery, hmm I didn't know Google also had a translator :S But I doubt it's better than Babelfish at any language :P

lili, well it's from the Germanic language branch, so yeah it would be similar. But I'm not good at phonetics, so I can't explain how it would sound :S

[fredskywalker]

Hello all, at last a representative from the french speaking people. Bonjour, comment ca va aujourd'hui? I say french speaking coz I'm actualling from Canada, which have a different pronounciation from the French. It's like the American-British accent. To follow up on Hollandgirl, happy birthday would be:
Bonne f?te et passez une belle journ?e. Well I guess that's it for now. Besides those 2 languages I only know bits and pieces from other languages but nothing worth mentioning. A bientot.

[Lilliputt]

That is very interesting, fredskywalker. Cool that ya speak french. Nice ta meet ya, by the way :)

Hyv?? syntym?p?iv?? ja viett?k?? hauska/hyv? p?iv?!

And this is finnish.
I noticed this and there is typo. How are you today? = Mit? teille kuuluu t?n??n? (if there's more than one person or if you want to be really polite)
or Mit? sinulle kuuluu?(if there's only one person).
You can also say Kuinka (sin?) voit t?n??n? (to one person) or Kuinka (te) voitte t?n??n? (to more than one person or if you want to be really polite)

English: Hi, how are you?
German: Hallo, wie gehts?
Swedish: Hej, hur m?r du?

[Acelightning]

English: how are you?
Australian slang:G'day mate. what are ya doin. (pronounced how it sounds)

[Caz]

Hi all, I noticied that there is no Irish here so here you go;
Dia Duit means hello
Conas tá tú? means how are you.

Vannakam. Neengal nalama?

This is Tamil, the language mainly spoken by the natives of the state Tamil Nadu of South India. It is the most ancient language and learning it is very simple.

Da Kine used A LOT is their noun same as english it states person, place, or thing before you say that person place or thing EX: I went to the Da Kine store today to get milk.
Also Pume' Hana means with warmest regards or warmest wishes
I have many more but just don't want to cover the whole page ya (ya is also used very often at the end of each sentence dunno why they just do)

i just had a dream where these 2 girls, a bit younger than me, were being mean to me, and they knew german like me, so there was no way of lietting my anger out in german without them hearing, and ofcorse, if they knew german, so did their mom, so i pretty much lost, and i was scared a lot during the dream (this is a bonus) so i was the slowest piece of worthless girl in the whole dream!

Thanks, was asking just in case :P

And no one said that Polish is easy, actually I would say it's one of the hardest ones :smile:
Anyway I really prefer Greek:
Γεια σου. Τι κάνετε; - If it comes to this example sentence ;)

[Lilliputt]

Well, about the Greek, the first is in singel person while the second part is in plural butaa... very impressive :appl:

I think Greek is a lot harder though :P :haha:

[aya_m]

Bah... I always have to something wrong :( Guess my teacher wouldn't be very happy :P.
*Γεια σου. Τι κάνεις;* or *Γεια σaς. Τι κάνετε;* then if now I remember well :>

I still think it's easier than Polish, but I'm only studying it for like 2 months ;).

Swedish is cool language too :D... I don't speak that, but have some Swedish people at work so I can hear while they are talking :P.

Modern Greek (which I'm learning) it's much easier than ancient one I think ;). And seems to be more useful, at least for me :smile:

The Bricky was flat out like a lizard drinking when puttin the bricks on the house, Cause he wanted a sav as all aussies do. He finished the house and when he got to to the barbe he found out no savs were left. he gave the cook an earbashin about him bein a dill. He was as cross as a frog in a sock so he sent his bitzer to scratch him on the nellie bly.

In english: The bricklayer was quick when putting the brick on the house, Cause he wanted a saveloy as all Australians do. he finished the house and when he got to the barbeque he found out no saveloys were left. He gave the cook a (firm angry) Message about being an idiot. He was as angry so he sent his dog (that bites everything) to scratch him on the eye(Nellie bly is anything that rhymes with BLY.)
