Hello,

How would you say "to reserve" (sense 2, "to keep in store for future or special use") in German? I would like to ask a seller to set aside some articles for me that I don't want to buy straightaway. --Fsojic (talk) 18:33, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

repeat offender[edit]

How would you say recidivist/repeat offender in Russian? Also, I'm wondering whether what I've done here is appropriate or not. --Fsojic (talk) 20:47, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In Russian: рецидивист m (recidivist). Yes, what you did was appropriate, but I added the finishing touches. —Stephen (Talk) 23:05, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Stephen. Fsojic, I have removed the restrictive comment re English "recidivist". In some languages there's just no other way to convey "repeat offender", "reoffender". The Russian "рецидивист" means just that, in the crime sense only. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 00:22, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I was wondering what you were talking about :-) I just pasted the translation table, without noticing the comment. --Fsojic (talk) 21:00, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

translate it into sanskrit[edit]

Rain in countryside attracts the lovers of nature. It is pleasant and helpful. But rain in city creates a different kind of sight. For some people the heavy downpour may have a Chilling effect, but it has its charm with the roar of thunder and the flash of lightening.Rain is one of them that give a real feeling of happiness and gratitude in a sad or mournful time.Rain is helpful in agriculture. Farmers become happy to get adequate rain in this season. We get many kinds of vegetables in this season. If there is plenty of rain water, then it is preserved in dams for the hydro-electricity and irrigation purpose. Therefore we must be thankful to this season.The Rainy Season is also not without troubles. It brings us some inconveniences. As roads become muddy, people face difficulty in going from one place to another. If it rains for days together, the working class people suffer from starvation. They do .not get any work anywhere.

ENGLISH TO DUTCH[edit]

i would love to be your partner for life but am scared right now

"Ik zou het geweldig vinden om je partner voor het leven te zijn, maar op het moment ben ik erg bang." - Literally "I would find it great/amazing to be your partner for life, but at the moment I am very scared."
There are other ways to translate "partner" depending on what you mean exactly. If you mean husband, it's "echtgenoot", and wife would be "echtgenote". You could also say "love of your life": "liefde voor het leven". —CodeCat 13:12, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please tell me if this is correct? English to Latin[edit]

I tried to "eyeball" it as best as I could, but my understanding of Latin is quite poor and I don't have my textbooks on hand for reference. I assume there must be a mistake, but if there is then what is the correct phrasing?
The phrase is Sōlus Lupus non est Lupō ("A solitary wolf is not a wolf")
Thank you! 50.30.49.6 06:04, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t understand the meaning, but I think it would be: Lupus solitarius non lupus est. —Stephen (Talk) 08:58, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You don't understand the meaning? A solitary wolf isn't a wolf... it's like how you would say, a dog with antlers isn't a dog, or a cat with white stripes is a skunk.
What about "Lupum non est solus lupus"? I'm just guessing here.
Stephen's translation was correct, and your translations are way off. Just settle with what he wrote. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 15:00, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A sports term - Russian into English[edit]

I haven't given it much of my own research but trying my luck locally.

In the phrase "Из боковой позиции питчер может подать мяч бэттеру, сделать передачу на базу или сойти с пластины"

Calling on Stephen G. Brown or people familiar with baseball terminology.

In the new entry пода́ть (podátʹ) I have created I used this example from the Russian Wiktionary. I'm not very familiar with sports terminology, especially baseball. Basically "питчер", "бэттер" and "база" are calques/cognates of English pitcher, batter and base but what is "пластина" (plate)? Is "plate" used in baseball?

A rough translation is "From the side position the pitcher can pass/serve the ball to the batter, pass (it) to the base or get off the plate". --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 02:09, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Could it be "home plate" or just "plate"? What is also confusing to me that some Russian dictionaries translate "home plate" as "основная база" (main base). It's obvious that in the above phrase "база" and "пластина" are not the same thing. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 02:15, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know anything about baseball, but I asked a friend, who told me that the plastina is probably what we call in English the pitcher's mound or pitcher's rubber. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 04:54, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Meta, I'll explore this option. :) --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 05:00, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, пластина (plastina) is the pitcher's plate, or pitcher's rubber. —Stephen (Talk) 05:31, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Μετάknowledge and Stephen! --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 05:47, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In English, home base and home plate are two names for the same thing. I don't know whether this synonymy is present in Russian as well, but if anything along the lines of основная пластина occurs, then it probably refers to home plate. Incidentally, in baseball one speaks of throwing the ball, never passing or serving it. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 19:16, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

please translate into ancient latin[edit]

together always, always one

My Latin-intuition says Semper una, semper unum but that sounds a little too ambiguous. Maybe others will have suggestions. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:49, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
