Trying to find some saying in Khmer that reflects this. Some of it, such as acquiring riches, is not Khmer thought. I never heard anything like this about អប្សរា (Apsara):

Phrase translated into written Tsalagi

I am looking to have the phrases translated into Tsalagi using the Tsalagi alphabet and not just phonetically.

1) When you were born you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and youh rejoice.

2) Have a vision not clouded by fear.

3) Faith is a bird that feels dawn breaking and sings while it's still dark.

Need to translate phrase into Sanskrit and Hebrew

I am trying to find a proper translation of "Blood of a slave, heart of a king." into Sanskrit and Hebrew.

Thank you,

Jenifer

Hebrew: דם עבד, לב מלך. I can't find the Sanskrit word for 'slave', but the rest is असृक्X, हृदयं राज्ञः (replace X with the word for 'slave' in the genitive case when someone finds it). —An gr 09:31, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Slave is दासजनं (dāsjanaṁ), भुजिष्य (bhujiṣya), गोप्यक (gōpyak), गोप्य (gōpya). —Stephen ^(Talk) 10:17, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Of those, bhujiṣya and gopya seem to be the most common, but bhujiṣya also means "freedman", so I'm going to go with gopya: असृग्गोप्यस्य, हृदयं राज्ञः (asṛg gopyasya, hṛdayaṃ rājñaḥ). (I forgot the external sandhi between -m and r- above, but I've corrected it now.) I know that word order is free in Sanskrit, but I don't know enough about Sanskrit to know how to alter word order for rhetorical effect. If I were translating this into Latin, I'd say sanguis servi, regis cor with the words for "slave" and "king" right next to each other to emphasize the contrast. That's certainly grammatically possible in Sanskrit too (असृग्गोप्यस्य, राज्ञो हृदयम् asṛg gopyasya, rājño hṛdayam), but I have no idea if it has the same rhetorical effect as in Latin. —An gr 10:43, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you...I really appreciate the translation help.

Dear Choukri,

How have you been doing? Hope every thing is okay with you. I hope you had a safe arrival back home. It was really a pleasure for me to meet a beautiful Djiboutian lady who made me feel at home though there was a language barrier and no sufficient time to chat personal matters. Back home, I have been damn busy. That is why I didn't email you earlier as I intended. By the way, did you get the Forum's documents? If not, let me know and I'll email you including photos taken by the IISD team. I hope this will be our first, not last correspondence. Pleased do stay in touch!

Cheers and best wishes, Tewodros

Here's my attempt: الله ملجإي، بارك الله عائلتي وأموالي! (allāh malja'i, baarak allāh 3aa'ilati wa-'amwaali!). --Anatoli 05:46, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was able to confirm most of the phrase but please seek a second opinion. Stephen, are you there? What do you think? --Anatoli 05:52, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think I would use الله ملجإي، ليبارك الله عائلتي وثروتي (with no final punctuation) —Stephen ^(Talk) 06:33, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(corrected) This would be allāh malja'i, li-yubaarik allāh 3aa'ilati wa-'tharwati. What's the meaning of لي in ليبارك? I've seen it used but don't understand it, although the phrase "God bless you" is just بارك الله فيك. --Anatoli 11:30, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ليبارك is the jussive mood = may he bless. It forms the imperative for the 1st-person and 3rd-person, as well as the negative imperative for the 2nd-person. اُكتُبْ = write!; لِيَكتُبْ = let him write! لا تَكتُبْ = do not write; لا يَكتُبْ = let him not write. As the positive imperative, the jussive always takes the prefix لِ. After و and ف, the ل loses its vowel: وَلْيَكتُبْ = and let him write. —Stephen ^(Talk) 12:15, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thank you for the detailed explanation. Fixing my romanisation above. ليبارك is prounounced li-yubaarik (form II verb), not libaarak. --Anatoli 12:47, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reverse tattoo request

A friend showed me her tattoo recently (on her arm, before somebody asks!) It's apparently the Japanese for 'joy'. She doesn't know the romaji; I have a sketch of it here but I don't really know enough about stroke indices to look it up. I'd say that it's 8 strokes (8 separate lines if I personally were to draw it) and it's roughly symmetrical. Anyone got any ideas? I've added {{trreq|ja}} joy. --Mglovesfun (talk) 13:35, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is it ゆえつ? きえつ? 禧? 悰? 幸? —Stephen ^(Talk) 13:54, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure it's 幸, thanks. --Mglovesfun (talk) 13:59, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pronounced kō or sachi, 幸 means good luck, fortune, happiness. —Stephen ^(Talk) 14:08, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

喜び (yorokobi) is a more word for "joy", 幸 (kō) is more common in expressions (幸か不幸か (kōkafukōka) fortunately or unfortunately ) or just as a symbol for joy. --Anatoli 19:54, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

光栄 refers more to the thing that is bringing the honor, rather than the person being so honored. As such, it's a bit awkward using 光栄 without knowing more about the context of the phrase here. Using a more generic construction to get around this, we might have:

大変光栄であり、感動しています。
Taihen kōei de ari, kandō shite imasu.
[Whatever it is] is a great honor, and I am touched / moved.

私は誰を信用していない (watashi wa dare o shin'yō shite inai) —Stephen ^(Talk) 07:45, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

私は誰も信用していない (watashi wa dare mo shin'yō shite inai) -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 17:35, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to sound like a tough guy you might want to use 俺 (ore) instead of 私 watashi. Fugyoo 23:00, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This brings up a good, though sticky, point -- Japanese is very dependent on social context. Examples of different forms:

私は誰も信用していません (watashi wa dare mo shin'yō shite imasen) -- you're either gender, and saying this to someone like your boss or a relative stranger
あたしは誰も信用していませんわ (atashi wa dare mo shin'yō shite imasen wa) -- you're female, and saying this to a close friend or family member, and you're emphatic about it
俺は誰も信用していないんだよ (dare mo shin'yō shite inai n da yo) -- you're male, and saying this to a close friend or family member, and you're emphatic about it
誰も信用していないのね (dare mo shin'yō shite inai no ne) -- you're female, and saying this to a close friend or family member, and you're resigned about it or otherwise don't feel too upset about it
誰も信用していないんだな (dare mo shin'yō shite inai n da na) -- you're male, and saying this to a close friend or family member, and you're resigned about it or otherwise don't feel too upset about it

Probably the safest, if somewhat lukewarm, version would be:

誰も信用していません (dare mo shin'yō shite imasen)

This leaves out the personal pronoun (which is still perfectly grammatical in Japanese, and avoids the problem of choosing which gender- and context-specific pronoun to use), and uses the masen ending that is most neutral and least likely to offend, especially when coming from a foreigner (native Japanese speakers are usually willing to cut foreigners some slack when it comes to proper Japanese, so long as the word forms used are not too glaringly rude). -- HTH, Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 23:55, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Death becomes her" = ὁ θάνατος ἁρμόζει αὐτῇ. "What does not kill me makes me stronger" = ὅ τι οὐ ἀποκτείνει με, κρατύνει με. "You have been my brother" is difficult to translate without knowing what the speaker means by that. If he's speaking to his literal brother, why "have been" and not "are"? If his brother is dead, why "have been" and not "were"? If he's talking to a friend and means "You have been like a brother to me", then maybe the best thing to say is ἠδέλφικά σε, literally "I have adopted you as a brother" or "I have called you brother". —An gr 22:37, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Need this in latin for a short story I am writing:

UNDERSTANDING WILL BE BOUGHT WITH BLOOD. HE IS WITH YOU. BE SEEING YOU.

I am aware that the last sentence is a fragment. It's an important catchphrase for the story. If necessary, you can substitute in I'LL BE SEEING YOU or I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN. The character will make the appropriate leap during translation.

Thanks!

Intellegentia sanguine emetur. Ille tecum est. Te revidebo. I'm assuming that "you" is singular in the last two sentences. If it's plural, change tecum to vobiscum and Te to Vos. —An gr 22:45, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Literal translation of "Fast is now beautiful" into various languages

Please literally translate "Fast is now beautiful" into the following languages:

French: Maintenant, mon Internet va plus vite !
Hawaiian: ʻĀnō, nani kēia wikiwiki (get more opinions, because it is quite an odd thing to say)
- Alternate: Ua nani ka wikiwiki (subsuming sense of "now" into perfective aspect particle ua)
Japanese (Kanji and Latin transcription)

Korean: 빠른 것은 아름다운 (ppareun geoseun areumdaun)
Thai: ความเร็วเป็นสิ่งที่สวยงาม (kwaam reo pen sĭng têe sŭay ngaam)
Spanish: La velocidad nunca fue tan bella
Turkish: Şimdi hızı güzel
Traditional and Simplified Chinese (with Latin transcriptions)
快即是美 (kuài jí shì měi) (both traditional and simplified). --Anatoli 22:52, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Latin: Celeritas nunc pulchra est

This is difficult to translate literally into many languages, because fast is an adjective, not a noun, and so cannot actually function as the subject of a sentence. English lets you play around some with your parts of speech, but other languages don't. In fact, in many languages, if you use an adjective as a noun it's interpreted as meaning "a person/thing who is X". For example, in Latin, if I say Celer nunc pulcher est it would mean "The fast man is now beautiful". You have to say Celeritas nunc pulchra est, literally "Speed is now beautiful". I see that whoever translated the slogan into French did not translate it literally, but wrote "Now my Internet is faster!". —An gr 15:19, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On that note, I cheated and moved "now" to the front. I checked it with a native speaker who said it was OK but actually recommended dropping ima ("now") altogether. Using koto nominalizes "fast" and makes it OK to use an adjective as the subject, but that's just Japanese. Haplology 15:32, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm puzzled -- why is the request for a literal translation? As Angr notes, some things just don't translate literally. And even if something like a literal translation is possible, the rendered text may well come across quite differently. Literal translations rarely make for good product descriptions or marketing material. For that matter, the English source text here has shades of meaning that go beyond any literal interpretation, especially once we know the context of having to do with Internet Explorer 9. (Incidentally, why was that quite salient fact hidden in the wikicode instead of being explicitly mentioned?)

If you're looking for ad copy, for instance, an alternate Japanese rendering might be 高速度は、もういかがですが？ (Kōsokudo wa, mō ikaga desu ka?), which is more like a polite suggestion of wouldn't you like high speed already? (trust me, this English sounds odder than the Japanese) rather than literally "fast is now beautiful", but it comes across as more the kind of thing a Japanese speaker might expect for a product pitch. When it comes to anything in marketing, you're much better off getting a localization, which incorporates target cultural expectations, than any literal translation that just gives you a word-to-word (or phrase-to-phrase) transformation. -- Curious, Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 17:13, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NB: The French seems to be Microsoft's own ad copy: google:"internet+explorer+9"+"Maintenant,+mon+Internet+va+plus+vite"

And, FWIW, Haplogy's Japanese looks fine by me -- I gave my alternate solely as an illustration of how different localization can be from literal translation. -- Cheers, Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 17:24, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Russian translation wasn't sought but this is how this slogan can be translated into Russian: быстро (bystro) — это (eto) уже (uže) красиво (krasivo) (býstro - éto užé krasívo). --Anatoli 22:59, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"stand and be true" in japanese kanji

Hello stranger. There is a phrase from Stephen King's "Dark Tower Series" that has a particular resonance with me and my belief system. "Stand and be true". I would like to tattoo this somewhere on my body to remind me to do just that. I have always felt the japanese kanji to be a very eloquent medium of expressing language and would very much like to find if there are symbols that express this phrase with the meaning that it holds in the series of books. I hope that there is one symbol for "stand" and a separate one for "be true" so that I may have one symbol tattooed on each of my forearms. If there is any way you can facilitate this desire, i would be eternally grateful.

I do not know anything about "Dark Tower" or this phrase, but Japanese is going to need multiple characters. Japanese might be something like あなたの足の上に立つ (anata no ashi no ue ni tatsu) on one arm, and 真実にコミットする (shinjitsu ni komitto suru) on the other. Maybe something shorter like 騰貴 (Tōki, rising) and 真実 (Shinjitsu, truth). I’m sure there are better choices than these though. —Stephen ^(Talk) 11:27, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At the risk of being pedantic, it's important to point out that kanji are only part of how Japanese is written. These are used for most nouns, and for the roots of most verbs, with the verb endings (like the "-ing" in "dancing" in English) spelled using hiragana, or more rarely in modern Japanese, katakana. Kanji are essentially Chinese characters (called (deprecated template usage) hanzi in Chinese), and therefore can mostly be read to some extent by anyone who can read Chinese (only "mostly" since some characters are Japanese-only, and since some meanings have changed over time).

That said, there are multiple possible translations here depending on the senses meant.

Stand could just mean "to stand up, to stand on one's feet", in which case 立つ (tatsu) or more appropriately the -te form 立って (tatte) might work. Given what I remember of The Gunslinger, the first book in the series, this alone probably won't get the right meaning across -- I don't think 立って on its own carries the same senses of confidence, resolution, and resistance as implied by King's use here. Instead, I'd use 立ち向かう (tachimukau, “to confront, to stand up to, to face a challenge or opponent”), either in the -te form 立ち向かって (tachimukatte) or the rougher and more direct command form 立ち向かえ (tachimukae).
For be true, King's intended meaning in the context of the books is probably more like have integrity than be faithful or be genuine, in which case I'd use 誠実に (seijitsu ni). (NB: the 誠実 entry here at Wiktionary needs reworking, and doesn't currently convey the range of meanings for this term.)

So: 立ち向かえ、誠実に (tachimukae, seijitsu ni). -- HTH, Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 04:05, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Translation into Latin, please

Could someone please help me translate "Besides, what's for dinner?" I have a feeling this would start with "Ceterum" and would have to have the Latin phrase for "I would like to know" in it, but that's as far as I've got. The other phrase I would like translated is "Many balls keep friendship rolling" - as a motto for a golf society. Many thanks! Suzy

amat toto corde suo —Stephen ^(Talk) 11:15, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't it be: "amat toto corde sua" (her heart, not his)? —AugPi 15:35, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, "suo" is correct: "First, like any adjective, suus, -a, -um, must agree with the noun it modifies in number, gender, and case." according to Wheelock. However, in the Latin translation, the fact that the one loving is a 'her' is missing. This could be filled in (if desired) by saying: "Ea amat (cum) toto corde suo." —AugPi 15:48, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The gender agreement is with the thing possessed, not the possessor. Cor is neuter, and suo is ablative neuter singular. It means with his/her/its/their heart. —Stephen ^(Talk) 15:48, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thank you: I stand corrected. —AugPi 15:53, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can’t make out the letters very well. It looks like "Abtiaf · Rest · Setul". The last letter of "Setul" looks to be damaged, so it could be anything. Or nothing. —Stephen ^(Talk) 16:24, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This Google search (google:abtiaf resi setur) pops up a number of hits in what I think is Czech, where someone else seems to be asking the same thing. No one's answered, as best I can tell. FWIW, that last word looks like "Setul" to me; comparing against the Fraktur font sample image on the lower right of the w:Blackletter page, I can't see how that last letter could be an "r", but a slightly goofy lower-case "L" might fit. And since none of what look like "i" letters have the tittle, I tried searching using the dotless Turkish "ı" just to see, but I didn't find anything promising.
