english to gujarati

you must be using a lot of equipments in your home to help you in doing your day to day jobs. these equipments help you not only to save your time and energy, but also to do your work more efficiently. you may use some of them for recreational purposes like a television and a music system. you may find that some of them in good working condition while others may require frequent repairs and replacements.

તમે કદાચ તમારા દિવસ થી દિવસ કામ તમને મદદ કરવા માટે તમારા ઘરમાં સાધન ઘણો ઉપયોગ કરી રહ્યા છો. આ ઉપકરણો, તમે સમય અને ઊર્જા બચાવી મદદ, અને તેઓ પણ તમે વધુ કાર્યક્ષમ રીતે તમારા કામ કરવા માટે મદદ કરે છે. તમે કદાચ આવા ટેલિવિઝન અથવા એક મ્યુઝિક સિસ્ટમ તરીકે મનોરંજન હેતુ માટે તેમને કેટલાક વાપરો. તમે સારા કામ શરત તેમને કેટલાક શોધી શકે છે, અને અન્ય વારંવાર સમારકામ અને ફેરબદલી જરૂર પડી શકે છે. —Stephen ^(Talk) 10:14, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

bedbug in Lao

I'm in a guesthouse in Vientiane and have spotted four bedbugs and would like to know what they are called here. Wikipedia and Google Translate don't know and it's not the the English-Lao dictionaries I've been able to find. — hippietrail (talk) 08:47, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

I think it is ແມງແຄງນອນ. That is literal (bug on the bed), so I’m not sure it’s the best word. If that doesn’t do it, try Thai: ตัวเรือด (dtua rêuat, IPA^(key): /tuːa rɯ̂ːat/). I think Thai and Lao are largely mutually comprehensible. —Stephen ^(Talk) 09:56, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Not to sound snarky, but if you're right there in a city surrounded by hundreds of thousands of native speakers, why are you asking us? ;-) —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 10:06, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Just because there's tons of Lao around doesn't mean there's tons who are bilingual English speakers or who even have vast English vocabularies. It's not a very common term after all. I almost mentioned the Thai word in my questions since I saw we had it. — 183.182.113.112 14:44, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Fair enough! —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 15:32, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

What about English-Lao dictionaries? Are they good, expensive in Laos? Anyway, we expect some quality edits in Lao from you, hippietrail, especially covering basic vocabulary. ;)

More on the topic, bedbug in Lao is ເຮືອດ (hūat) (cognate to Thai เรือด (rêuat)) or (cognate to Thai ตัวเรือด (dtua rêuat)) - ໂຕເຮືອດ (tō hūat). Good luck with those (bedbugs and words)!

Note that rolled /r/ is absent in Lao, although it exists in neighbouring Thai, Khmer and Myanmar languages (not Chinese or Vietnamese). Some traditional transliteration use "r" but it's incorrect. Thai cognates in Lao use /l/ or /h/ when there's /r/ in Thai (my observation). --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 02:47, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! I really thought I had checked on SEAlang but apparently I did not. I thought it ought to be cognate with the Thai term. — hippietrail (talk) 06:44, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

No worries. BTW, there is some resistance in Laos to everything being mapped to Thai because there was some forceful "Thaisation" in the past. Many words similar to Thai are also considered South Lao dialects. That's what I read, anyway. You may find this out firsthand. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 06:50, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

c'est la vie / such is life in Lao

I would like to express the sentiment of "shit happens" / "c'est la vie" to some locals here in Laos.

I did ask one guy whose English is not bad, but his English is just functional for the tourism industry so not fully bilingual or idiomatic and he didn't really get what I was trying to say.

I wonder if the handy Lao phrase ບໍ່ເປັນຫຍັງ (baw pen nyãng) might actually cover this sentiment too though? — 183.182.113.112 16:14, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

I am not sure about this. Working backward from Thai, I suggest either of:

ມັນບໍ່ສາມາດຝົນຕົກຢູ່ທົ່ວທຸກແຫ່ງໃນເວລາດຽວ. (It can't rain everywhere at once.)

English to Scottish Gaelic

I'd like a translation of "view to the island". For my purposes, this essentially is like "view of the island" as a caption of a photo view, but if possible, I'd like to capture that nuance (of the English "to" rather than "of") that expresses a kind of movement of one's attention towards the island (i.e. a more active involvement of the viewer, rather than just a passive description of the scene). This may not quite work; I've no knowledge of Scottish Gaelic from which to judge. If not, "view of the island" will do. Thanks!

Hey! :) could anyone convert this into Sanskrit?

English to hindi translation

Please anyone translate this for me from English to hindi. "Storm is a beautiful sight for some people but it is a disaster for some people like farmers. It destroys their crops and the farmers will be at a lose. It sometimes makes the trees rub against each other in forests and produce fire. They cause great destruction in the forests. It also kills many animals. It is very difficult for campers on a stormy night if they are camping in a tent. The rain pours down very harshly on a stormy night. It is difficult to prevent the storm coming. But we can take measures not get into trouble by a storm. The campers can book a hotel if they want to camp in rainy seasons. But in case of farmers they cannot do much other than protecting themselves." Please please please do translate this for me anyone. I'll be very thankful. Please do.

I would like to translate my children's names to Irish Gaelic for a tattoo idea:

Thank you!!

Ríonach Séaghdha

Rónán Lúcás

Liam (or Uilliam) Séamus —Stephen ^(Talk) 17:54, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

• Séamus (in modern spelling Séamas) is really James. The Old Testament patriarch Jacob is called Iacób in Irish, though I don't how often that's used as a given name in Ireland. The modern spelling of Séaghdha is Sé, and it's a (very rare) boy's name in Ireland, so it would be odd to use it as a middle name for a girl. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 19:17, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

English to Sanskrit translation

Hi there! I hope someone here can shine some light on this.
The word I'm looking for is: Antevasin
The description of antevasin(antewaasee/antevasii) is somewhat foggy, but for me it would be:
A person who is an in-betweener or you can call it a border-dweller. A scholar who lives in the sight of two worlds, but is looking toward the unknown.
So far I have received two possible translations:

अंतेवासी

and

अन्तेवासी

Which spelling is the correct one? Or maybe they are both wrong?
I hope you can help me.
Thank you very much in advance!

Kind Regards,
André Lundin

अन्तेवसिन् (antevasin) = dwelling close by. —Stephen ^(Talk) 23:13, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Cheers Stephen,

I have indeed found that translation on most of the free-translation-websites out there.

However, forgive my skepticism, since both of the translations I pasted before was from so-called "proffesional translators" I have a hard time believing which one is the correct one, since I have never gotten an explanation of why theirs is more correct.

Even though, अन्तेवसिन् could also be correct, would you care to evaluate?

Thank you, -André 194.15.212.33 07:47, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

I have no idea about the translators' experience or expertise. Personally, I don’t know why they would use वासी instead of वासि. I also don’t know why one would use अंते instead of अन्ते. You might ask them why they do not like अन्तेवसिन्. Another possibility is अन्तेवासिन् (antevāsin) = dwelling near the boundaries, or dwelling close by...I like this better. —Stephen ^(Talk) 10:19, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

I would say the first sentence as "Przykro (mi) dowiedzieć się, że wyjeżdżasz" but it still needs to be checked further. The word "aby" means "in order to", not sure if "opuszczać" is appropriate here. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 09:50, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

I started to use wyjechać, but I don’t know how the leaving is being done. —Stephen ^(Talk) 03:44, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

I used my Russian analogical thinking (it often helps but not always, Slavic perfective/imperfective verbs are used similarly). I would use imperfective here and present (even though the person hasn't left yet). Polish wyjeżdżać = Russian уезжа́ть impf (ujezžátʹ), Polish wyjechać = Russian уе́хать pf (ujéxatʹ). The Russian equivalent would be "мне жаль, что ты уезжа́ешь" - "przykro mi, że wyjeżdżasz". Also, these verbs refer to most types of leaving (by transport) wychodzić/уходи́ть (uxodítʹ) would be used for walking away, leaving on foot, ulatywać/улета́ть (uletátʹ) for flying away. However, the verb "opuszczać" (Russian оставля́ть (ostavljátʹ)) must be transitive (leave something behind). I have asked Kephir (talk • contribs) to double-check. I used the Russian analogy, as Russian is probably much more familiar to you, Stephen.--Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 03:56, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Disregard the above translation. (Stephen, please think over your "pl-2".) From a native speaker, a bit non-literal, but natural-sounding: "Przykro mi/nam [dowiadywać się], że odchodzisz. Będę/będziemy tęsknić. Niech Bóg, zdrowie i szczęście nigdy Cię nie opuszczają, [recipient's name in vocative case]. Z najlepszymi życzeniami, [your name in nominative case]." ("Najlepsze życzenia od [your name in genitive case].")

I assumed the personal relationship is somewhat intimate rather than formal (w:T-V distinction); if this is wrong, you will have to switch to pan/pani, though I would rethink the message entirely. Keφr 20:20, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
