IPA for French
@Stephen G. Brown, Please provide only the IPA for the French of this translation: I never get to have my turn – AWESOME meeos ! * (「欺负」我) 00:46, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
- (deprecated use of

- My rendering (phonetically): žënežamɛǫ̈tur – AWESOME meeos ! * (「欺负」我) 22:49, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
- I don't know how this works but it seems to me there's a letter missing? ʒə.ne.ʒa.mɛ.mœ̃.tuʁ / žënežamɛmǫ̈tur looks better I think (I may be wrong though). Akseli9 (talk) 10:26, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

- Hello Stephen. If I had to translate the sentence above, I would propose "ce n'est jamais mon tour" or perhaps "je n'ai jamais mon tour". "Je n'ai jamais un tour" didn't come to mind, and "ce n'est jamais un tour" just doesn't work. Akseli9 (talk) 15:05, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

From English to Urdu (03:05, 9 January 2017 (UTC))
Terms "democracy" and "republic"
It seems there could be a false cognate with Arabic and descendants. In Arabic جُمْهُورِيَّة (jumhūriyya) means only "republic" and this meaning is used in loanwords in other languages (Persian, Turkish, Pashto, etc.). In Urdu, جمہوریت (jamhūriyat) or جمہوریہ (jamhūriya) are used loosely and can mean both "republic" and "democracy". There are other spellings possible.
(I used a loose transliteration, since our Urdu transliteration is not strictly defined and my resources on correct Urdu pronunciation are not so great.) --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 03:05, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
German to Cantonese
@kc_kennylau, suzukaze-c Was willst du nächste Woche machen? Becuase for the sake of my Cantonese friends – AWESOME meeos ! * (「欺负」我) 07:47, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
- Why in other languages than English:
- 1. I know the English translations already.
- 2. If I supply with the English version, it may not give the most accurate result as it was in German that was the original sentence was in – AWESOME meeos ! * (「欺负」我) 07:52, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
- I don't understand German. —suzukaze (t・c) 07:53, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Suzukaze-c The German phrase above means "What do you want to do next week?" (informal style). --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 08:02, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
- I don't understand German. —suzukaze (t・c) 07:53, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Awesomemeeos Since you're already wasting people's time, please make an effort and translate your phrases into English because you know it. The "source language" and "target language" are mainly meant for translations where either the source or target is English. You are, of course allowed to make requests, but this is not a playground. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 08:07, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Atitarev Why would you revert my edit on this even if I said 'Forget about it'? Are you trying to make me guilty? Well, I will just watch some Eurovision or the entire Bee Movie in 1 second instead – AWESOME meeos ! * (「欺负」我) 08:33, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
- You have posted and two people have replied, now I am following this thread and want to know the Cantonese translation. You can do what you want to do. No, I don't want to make you feel guilty. I am just saying my opinion. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 08:38, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

- It's "to drown" (transitive). Intransitive would be ersaufen without the umlaut. Kolmiel (talk) 14:35, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Kolmiel Danke! Jetzt muss ich meinen Fehler in Schnaps ersäufen. :) --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 12:28, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

- PS: Yes, now you're using it right :) Kolmiel (talk) 13:23, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
- PPS: Many Germans would actually be a bit confused here, too. Because, as you may be aware, the intransitive "ersaufen" does get an umlaut in the 2nd and 3rd persons singular of the present, so both verbs merge in these two forms (ersäufst, ersäuft). 13:41, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

- @Atitarev How can that be Google Translate?
- Google Translate does not have stress accents
- Nor does it have an IPA transcription
- Nor it has the sam transliteration system Wiktionary has
- Please don't assume that I used it. I used Wiktionary and old Russian textbooks. Please don't jump to conclusions – AWESOME meeos ! * (「欺负」我) 04:39, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Atitarev How can that be Google Translate?
- It's probably American. For Americans, this is intended as a great compliment. It's a common way to express that they like someone very much (so much that they cannot bear to part with him). Of course, it's a joke and they don't really intend to kidnap him. —Stephen (Talk) 12:32, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

- Sono tornato a novembre dalla Cina. Non preoccuparti, sono ancora italiano m/italiana f. Queste persone sono troppe piccole! Ci vediamo ragazzi a presto. Baci e abbracci per tutti e tre di voi. (Please verify) – AWESOME meeos ! * (「欺负」我) 01:31, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Awesomemeeos, remember, the people who ask these questions are not linguists. This person will probably send his friends this: "Non preoccuparti, sono ancora italiano m/italiana f." —Stephen (Talk) 12:59, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
- I would make the translation this way:
- È bello sentire da te. Sono tornato a novembre dalla Cina. Non preoccuparti, sono ancora italiano. Quelle persone sono troppo breve! Ci vediamo presto. Baci e abbracci per tutti e tre. (if the speaker is a male)
- È bello sentire da te. Sono tornata a novembre dalla Cina. Non preoccuparti, sono ancora italiana. Quelle persone sono troppo breve! Ci vediamo presto. Baci e abbracci per tutti e tre. (if the speaker is female)

--2600:100C:B00F:C8B1:55EE:4071:F184:3785 23:15, 11 January 2017 (UTC) Hide it
- esconderlo (infinitive + lo), [es.kõn̪ˈd̪er.lo]

- esconderse (infinitive + se), [es.kõn̪ˈd̪er.se]

- escondedlo (imperative informal plural + lo), [es.kõn̪ˈd̪eð.lo]
- escondadla (imperative informal plural + la), [es.kõn̪ˈd̪eð.la]
- escóndanlo (imperative formal plural + lo), [esˈkõn̪.d̪ãn.lo]
- escóndanla (imperative formal plural + la), [esˈkõn̪.d̪ãn.la]
- It really depends on the context you are talking about. Infinitives are like saying 'to hide it', a general verb sense when expressed without a subject. The reflexive se is like 'to hide itself'. If you are commanding someone or some people, you must use the imperative. Using lo when 'it' is masculine and la when 'it' is feminine. When talking to more than one person, use the plural. You must use the formal when talking to a stranger or superior that is older than you. Use ocultar in the same way as well – AWESOME meeos ! * (「欺负」我) 01:21, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
@Awesomemeeos: I would use the verb ocultar instead, as this is used by the Spanish wiktionary as well. --kc_kennylau (talk) 10:32, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
- Very few linguists pose questions here. For nonlinguists, it's confusing to most when you give them many choices, and worse if you include technical terms (e.g., infinitive, reflexive, command, masculine, feminine, noun). In a forum such as this, usually you should limit yourself to two versions at most (one if possible), and only use everyday language in explanations that any 8-year-old child would understand. For "hide it," I would probably say ocúltalo and leave it at that. I would not get into the subject of gender or object pronouns unless someone specifically asked about it. Also, I would not use IPA here (unless I knew I was addressing a Russian). Americans (I don't know about Brits, Kiwis, etc.) know nothing of IPA. You might as well write the pronunciation in Cyrillic. —Stephen (Talk) 13:13, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

@Stephen G. Brown, Translate this: Russian is spoken by at least 300 million people worldwide. That must mean that it's a widely spoken language!

- Some of these statements are far from the truth but I will translate them, anyway even if you don't like me. Stephen's Russian is very good but he is not a native speaker (and must be out of practice lately).

- Small corrections and stress marks from me. Without the context I'd use "пої́хати" (to go by any transport), "полеті́ти" means "to fly". Also "want" has no politeness, so "я хо́чу" is more accurate than "я хоті́в би". --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 12:19, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

- IPA is irrelevant on this page, and besides, the Ukrainian pronunciation module is imperfect. The knowledge of IPA has little to do with the knowledge of the language. Yes, Russians can understand a lot of Ukrainian but not 100%, if this is what you're asking. Please don't copy IPA from various IPA modules for different languages here. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 12:51, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Awesomemeeos, Russians know IPA well, but they would be much more comfortable with the Ukrainian spelled in normal Cyrillic. The IPA is only for English-speaking linguists who cannot read Cyrillic. —Stephen (Talk) 13:36, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Stephen G. Brown Russian and Ukrainian have both slightly different pronunciation systems, how would Russians know the differences in phonology between theit language and Ukrainian? Surely, avid Russian linguists would also use IPA to express Ukrainian (and Russian) – AWESOME meeos ! * (「欺负」我) 21:16, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- As Stephen said, IPA is used by linguists, not just English. There are native means to render/imitate other languages, even if they are not 100% accurate and are often used in pejorative ways. In many instances, Russians and Ukrainians are exposed to each other's language more than any other language. The current Ukrainian IPA module is based on a specific accent, which is not necessarily the most common and not even 100% standard. Also, there are some imperfections. In the real life Ukrainian and Russian don't sound so different to make them hard to understand. Mutual comprehension is very high, sometimes one-sided. Ukrainians, for obvious reasons, know Russian better than the other way around. ---Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 21:28, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

- @Awesomemeeos, Russians would not know what language your IPA represents unless they knew Ukrainian phonology, and most don't. If you spell it in Cyrillic, people easily recognize that it is Ukrainian. If someone does not speak Ukrainian, they will usually pronounce the letters with Russian sounds, just like monolingual Americans pronounce French or German words with English sounds. Avid Russian linguists who are interested in Ukrainian learn how the letters are pronounced in Ukrainian and write the language in Cyrillic. Ukrainian is phonetic, so it is much easier to learn Ukrainian pronunciation of Cyrillic than to try to read and write in IPA. Russians use IPA for the purpose of studying English, because English is not phonetic. They have little need to use IPA for languages that are written in Cyrillic. —Stephen (Talk) 22:46, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

- Eirikr is right. The whole sentence is an attribute for 人. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 09:23, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
- suzukaze, if there were a mood particle (ね、よ、etc) or punctuation between the なりたい and the 人, then I'd agree with you right off the bat. Given the lack of any particle or punctuation, it reads more like a full phrase without a stop in the middle, where かわいくなりたい directly modifies 人, and the extended はぁ~ looks like the topic particle は drawn out for effect.
- Given also the context, where it looks like the speech bubble is in direct relationship to the background note that this was at a recruiting meeting, I interpret this more as the speaker commenting on the kinds of people they hope to recruit. As in, "those of you who want to be[come] cute, [please come this way and sign up for interviews]..."
- That's my 2p, anyway. :) ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 22:05, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Bringst du den Fleck hier ab
--118.102.107.15 10:24, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
- You would say: "Kriegst du den Fleck hier ab?" At least I've never heard abbringen in this sense. Duden does have it, but it's obviously very rare. There's only one google hit for "Fleck abbringen" and, interestingly, it's this Japanese page: [1]. I suppose that's just a funny coincidence, but who knows.
- At any rate, for those who do know Japanese but don't know German, the sense is: Can you get off this stain? Kolmiel (talk) 17:12, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
- このシミを取れる?
- Kono shimi o toreru?
- Can you remove this stain?
- Note that this is informal, and would only be appropriate when talking to friends or family. Given the apparent context of laundry, and the use of informal du in the German, this seems like the appropriate social register. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 18:34, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
- このシミを取れる?
- @Eirikr: You're obviously much better than me in terms of Japanese. However, the website you quoted translates "einen Fleck abbringen" as "汚れを落とす", so I'm wondering if we should use the same phrase:
- この汚れ落として。
- Kono yogore otoshite.
- Please remove this stain.
- この汚れ落として。
- The German text is quite strange, as its word order suggests either a question without the question mark, in case it would still be strange (Do you remove this stain?), or a command using the wrong conjugation (Bringe instead of Bringst), so I translated it as a request. Also, extra informality by removing を. --kc_kennylau (talk) 01:14, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- kc_kennylau: sounds good. There are many ways of translating stain; シミ (shimi, lemma spelling 染み) implies something that soaked into a material, while 汚れ (yogore) implies soiling, defilement, or contamination. Both work in general contexts. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 01:32, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

- @Eirikr: You're obviously much better than me in terms of Japanese. However, the website you quoted translates "einen Fleck abbringen" as "汚れを落とす", so I'm wondering if we should use the same phrase:
- "You would say: 'Kriegst [...]'" - Colloquially one could say it, but it's rather "You would say: 'Bekommst [...]'". -84.161.42.210 11:59, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- No, sir. The phrase is already inherently colloquial. Formally one would say: "Kannst du diesen Fleck entfernen?" And when it's colloquial, kriegen is definitely more common than bekommen. "Bekommst du den Fleck hier ab?" Well, yes, you can say that. But it's not what most people would say. Kolmiel (talk) 09:21, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

- For instance, if you went to a dry cleaner and were asking the proprietor to remove a particular stain, you'd probably say something like:
- このシミを落としてください。
- Kono shimi o otoshite kudasai.
- Please remove this stain.
- このシミを落としてください。
- Including the object particle を (o) and the ください (kudasai, “please”) on the end make the sentence more complete and more polite. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 17:03, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

- There's also 佢份人好懶. I think 人 in these contexts might be pointing to that person's personality or behaviour. — justin(r)leung { (t...) | c=› } 16:52, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
