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)

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)

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).

--2600:100C:B00F:C8B1:55EE:4071:F184:3785 23:15, 11 January 2017 (UTC) Hide it

1. esconderlo (infinitive + lo), [es.kõn̪ˈd̪er.lo]
2. esconderla (infinitive + la), [es.kõn̪ˈd̪er.la]
3. esconderse (infinitive + se), [es.kõn̪ˈd̪er.se]
4. escondelo (imperative informal + lo), [es.kõn̪ˈd̪e.lo]
5. escondela (imperative informal + la), [es.kõn̪ˈd̪e.la]

7. escondala (imperative formal + la), [es.kõn̪ˈd̪a.la]
8. escondedlo (imperative informal plural + lo), [es.kõn̪ˈd̪eð.lo]
9. escondadla (imperative informal plural + la), [es.kõn̪ˈd̪eð.la]
10. escóndanlo (imperative formal plural + lo), [esˈkõn̪.d̪ãn.lo]
11. 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)

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 it not "people want to become cute"? (かわいくなりたい "want to become cute" + an explanatory 人は "people ...") —suzukaze (t・c) 09:16, 18 February 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]..."

--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(と)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)

@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(よご)れ落(お)として。

Kono yogore otoshite.

Please remove this stain.

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)

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(お)としてください。

Kono shimi o otoshite kudasai.

Please remove this stain.

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)

this makes no sense, but I'll try... The ducks and clothes-hangers have already been thanked and dissolved in three sickles — AWESOME meeos ！ * ([nʲɪ‿nəʐɨˈmajtʲe sʲʊˈda]) 20:26, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

It makes no sense, but it is very funny. Difficult to explain. You should ask User:Lmaltier to explain it. —Stephen ^(Talk) 00:55, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

It's not a joke. That's why it's hard to explain. User:Lmaltier might be able to explain it. —Stephen ^(Talk) 02:45, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
