translation of your word ; traduction de l'anglais en ...

Post Reply New Topic

si vous avez envie d'écrire un mot et de l'avoir dans une autre langue,
indiquez vos mots ou phrases ici, et peut-être quelqu'un passe pour les traduire...

if you write here a word or a sentence you'd like to know in another language,
someone else can come here to translate it for you

i like the word 'meadow' for exemple

I'd like to know "buyo rupio piso pilasos" in English

hm, as usual i'm really easy to understand ...
i meant 'give an english word/sentence' and that people would translate it in their own language ...

Seems to me really a good idea

so can you translate the word meadow into your own language?

and give another word in english you'd like to hear in my language?

(I had to look for it at dictionary)
Meadow=Prado in portuguese.
For isolated words net dictionarys are really good!, don't know about expressions.
In french I would like to hear some words of love, but writen they are not as sweet as pronounced.
what about german... would it sound romantic "words or love" in german?

obrigada
(i once was half a year in portugal, but it took me about 5 months to understand their pronunciating, so in the end i haven't learned much, just two or three things and a few words "um queezo mais pequino por favor", don't know how to write it though, "tem velas?" "no tem")


love words in german,
hm, i'm dutch and speak french cause live in a frenchspeaking area...

maybe some german can helps us out?

bon dia ! !

Por nada! 5 meses em Portugal! Their pronounce is really difficult, even for us here. Are dutch and german as close as portuguese and spanish? Could this kind of comparisson be done anyway?
Do you believe dutch can sound as romantic as french?
Guten Yag

no it doesn't, french it the most romantic language ever, frenchspeaking are very daring as well,
there is something cold about dutch, it's not an ugly language but we almost need our dialect to add something to it that can't be found in the regular style, it's a little dry (which has it's own qualities but i wouldn't call it romantic)

6 months in Portugal (on bike from belguim to faro, we stayed 4 months near Setubal)
german and dutch are very close, maybe not as close as portuguese and spanish, maybe more like spanish and italian.
it took 5 months to understand a word though...
apart from counting and saying 'tem azeita?' to get as an aswer 'no tem' i haven't learned a thing (it's quite difficult to learn a language if everything you say is not understood, but finally i learned that you should imitate some kind of vomiting while you speak: 'velas' and you have to say it as if you're discusted by the thought only, and then i got 'oh, velas' with even more phlegm than i had been able to put into it.

I try to imitate people when learning a language, so, if they vomitate I do the same...
I think disgustad way like that you reffer is not rare. I also think our way of talking is different from that of portugal, and that our 'general sound' is difficult of beeing recognised, resembling, perhaps russian

I feel women speaking french really romantic, and french a kind of "female" language.
As you know many languages it is unexpected that you didn't learn good portuguese, hence the more languages do you know, the easiest to learn other, anyway, learning languages is a strange thing.

I was thinking in our other dialog, which you have wrote in french...
It gave me the impression that when one is speaking french turns himself much more delicate than usual... I mean... gave me a impression of a kind of self split, in which the same person is one at a language and other in other. Seems to me french speakers probably feel other language speackers, even thenselves when speaking other languages, cavemen like people... I felt somethig like that meanwhile trying to write to you in french, do you feel something like this?

definitly, i'm a different person when i speak french, or english or dutch

(with portuguese, it took me so long to realise that it was so different in pronunciation, the brazilian accent is easier to recognise)

yes , probably learning languages splits our minds.

One of my Grand Daughters is being watched by a local Amish couple, while her parents are at work. Actually their 16 year old daughter is doing it. For Mothers Day my wife's son took her to the Amish greenhouses for plants as a gift, Grand Daughter was with them. She is 20 months old and when they arrived at the greenhouse it was all smiles and the Grand Daughter was talked to in Dutch (their version of it). The Amish wife sent one of her kids to get the rest that were making dounuts at the house. They all came down to see her and speak to her and hugs. She's a little star in the Amish Community. I'd love to see her in the horse buggys when they need to travel. It's so wonderful. Her idea of play when she's home is to clean and cook, but they won't give her real things at home, the Amish do. Not all the time, she knows about the other side of play, too. The men are as open with their love for the kids as the rest of the community is. That she is learning another language at this age, I'm told it devolops right side of the brain. That she is getting to know another culture is great. I would thank the Amish, but how do you thank people for just being who they really are. I wouldn't know how.

Atomized is the correct answer.
what do i win ?

Hey

I'v got a little bit of a raw talent for learning new languages (gives me more opportunities to flaunt my knowledge lol), right now i'm doing French, German, Latin and a little Italian so if anyone needs anything major translated excetra, i'd be more than happy to oblige.

Neuromancer, you say u like to "imitate people when learning a language" I've got one of my own little pet theories when it comes to reading- Whenever we read something, we're actually saying the words out loud inside our heads, and when you hear a word in another language, you immediately tell yourself its definition in your native tongue. Its rather fascinating

Dont know much portuguese Wats shadow in portuguese? I know Shadow, Schatten, Ombre, Umbra. Any1 Care to tell me any more?

It is great that you have such a talent for learning languages!

i believe too that when reading we say the words loud insideour head, but I don't think we allways translate other language words.

shadow in portuguese is : sombra.

What is your native language?
