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).

1. esconderlo (infinitive + lo), [es.kõn̪ˈd̪er.lo]
2. esconderla (infinitive + la), [es.kõn̪ˈd̪er.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 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]..."

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.

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)

Me too, thanks. — (((Romanophile))) ♞ (contributions) 13:51, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Are you a bee? Anyway, there isn't really a single word for thanks AFAIK, unless you want to keep the "I give ... to you" part implicit (which I'm not sure is a thing you can actually do in older Latin -- possibly done by analogy with modern languages in Neo-Latin, though), in which case: Ego quoque, gratias. (where the gratias, being in the accusative case, is morphologically understood as the object of an implicit verb). If I were addressing a single person, I'd say fully, with verb and indirect object: Ego quoque, gratias tibi ago; speaking to multiple people, it'd be Ego quoque, gratias vobis ago. — Kleio (t · c) 20:25, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

P.S., this is assuming that the "me" in your "me too" is used in a reply as if it were nominative (i.e. 1: I'm tired. -- 2: Me too.); if you're replying to a sentence where the other person/s is/are the object of a verb (i.e. 1: He hates me. 2: Me too.) you'd replace ego with me, the accusative singular; if you were replying to a sentence where the other person/s is/are the indirect object of a verb (i.e. 1: He gave me a present. 2: Me too.) you'd replace ego with mihi, the dative singular. — Kleio (t · c) 20:31, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Personally, I'm not a fan of writing these word-inital glottal stops in German IPA. It's not that other languages, like Dutch or English, never use glottal stops in that position. Nor is that German always uses them (although that is sometimes claimed). The truth is that there's a tendency to use them more. It depends on the dialect how pronounced that tendency is.

There are many ways to say it. For one, ...

Shighangóó nídádesdzáago nisin, háálá shikʼéíyóó shibaʼ ndaazdá.

shi- (“my”) -ghan (“home”) -góó (“to”) ní- (reversionary mode) -dádesdzá (“go back”) -go (adverbial suffix) nisin (“I need to”), háálá (“because”) shi- (“my”) -kʼéí (“relative”) -yóó (plural suffix) shi- (“me”) -baʼ (“waiting for”) -da- (plural verb infix) nazdá (“they sit at home”).

This is only a shallow breakdown of the parts. One can go much deeper. —Stephen ^(Talk) 23:49, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

I'm not too familiar with the form nídádesdzá. What is the dá- prefix? Shouldn't -des- receive a high tone (si-perfective first person)?

I propose "ńdeeshdááł nisin", future of "náshdááh" or "náníshdááh", themselves reversionary of yishááh or nishááh, to go, to arrive. Julien Daux (talk) 18:09, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

I think "ńdeeshdááł nisin" is okay, too. I don't know the meaning of this dá-. Often dá- means to plug up or block, but this one seems different. Some examples of going back:

Kintahgóó déyá. = I'm going to town.

Kintahgóó ńdésdzá. = I'm going back to town.

--—suzukaze (t・c) 01:29, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

It's Gujarati letters, but it means nothing in Gujarati that I know of. If you googled it, Google usually has to run an OCR program to get Gujarati texts, and OCR for any scripts other than Roman is not very accurate. OCR is especially inaccurate with scripts where two or more glyphs combine into a shape that is unlike any of them, and where different letters have very different widths. So it is very possible that this is a scanno for something else, maybe પ્રતિ (prati, “towards”). —Stephen ^(Talk) 03:13, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

This might sound silly but it's from a Japanese music video whose editor has a penchant for slipping Gujarati text into his work.

Akkadian original title of the Code of Hammurabi (02:50, 23 June 2017 (UTC))

The Wikipedia article says that the w:Code of Hammurabi was written in Akkadian.

How do you write "Code of Hammurabi" in Akkadian? What is the original title of that work, if that makes any sense?

--Daniel Carrero (talk) 02:50, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

The Code of Hammurabi was a stone document that listed the laws, but no title was attached to it. You can see the full Akkadian text written in the Roman alphabet here, as well as the translation. I don't think that Ḫammurabi himself called it the "Code of Hammurabi", that's just the name that we have assigned to it. Ḫammurabi might have called it the Laws of the Sun God or something of the sort. Akkadian was written in cuneiform. Ḫammurabi's name does not appear anywhere in the Code of Hammurabi. Here is the w:Cuneiform (Unicode block). You can find the name Ḫammurabi (Ḫa-am-mu-ra-pi₂) written out in cuneiform here, but the encoding used is not Unicode. It's a proprietary code.

I think our local expert on Akkadian script is @DerekWinters. —Stephen ^(Talk) 09:44, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

From [Norwegian] to [English] (16:56, 1 July 2017 (UTC))

From 2002 output of Digitalarkivet: 1865-telling for 0542 Nordre Aurdal. I am trying to understand the census column titles. Here is a list of these apparently missing on en.WT:

• Skoledistrikt - school district
• Prestegjeld - priest+debt, tax region?
• Gardsnavn - farm name (is this a specific farm, or a local agricultural district?)
• Familiestatus - family+status, relationship?
• Sivilstand - civil+state, marital status? (g = [[gift#Norwegian Bokmål|]], ug = [[ugift#Norwegian Bokmål|]])
• Stort kveg - big+cow, adult cattle?

Two column titles are bygg and poteter, which I am assuming refer to some measure of land planted in these crops? probably outside of scope.

--Amgine/ ^t·e 16:56, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Skoledistrikt – school district

Prestegjeld – parish

Gårdsnavn – farm name

Familiestatus – person's status (in the family) (i.e., husband, wife, etc.)

Sivilstand – marital status (gift – married, ugift – unmarried)

Stort kveg – cattle

bygg – barley

poteter – potatoes —Stephen ^(Talk) 17:35, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

For a couple of these I think a native speaker may be desired. Especially prestegjeld (census already has column sogn) and familiestatus (census record includes a logerende.) From my personal rural history, there is a useful distinction between calves and adult cattle, and the collective is storfe but also kveg appears to be dialectic, or at least old-fashioned (as one would expect with an 1865 census), modern is ku. - Amgine/ ^t·e 20:01, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Are you sure about familiestatus (= "status in the family")? I suspect it's the same as English "family status" and German "Familienstatus" (more often "Familienstand"), namely a slightly more detailed category vis-à-vis "marital status", which might include information about unmarried house partners, children, etc. Kolmiel (talk) 15:44, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

AIUI, familiestatus = "family status" is the "position in family", so you'll see Husfader (father of the house); hans kone (his wife); deres søn (their son); logerende (lodger); tjenestejente (maid), and so on. In the context of the census, it's just the relationship of that person to the head of the household. --Catsidhe ^{(verba, facta)} 21:43, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Oh. Yeah, I now see that I did a sloppy job in looking up the English word. I saw two quotes on google and interpreted them wrongly. Sorry. I've even found a few attestations for this use in German, although the normal sense of Familienstatus really is what I said above. Kolmiel (talk) 14:45, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

I've created Familienstatus. We don't have family status yet. Kolmiel (talk) 15:08, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

I should probably add (relating to the question about gårdsnavn) that farms in Norway are traditionally named and are known by those names, which may have hundreds of years of history. My own Norwegian ancestors, for example, came from a farm named Solum, in the sub-parish (sokn of (depending on the date and the shifting of boundaries) Sævik, Klinga, or Vemundvik, in the parish (prestegjeld) of (again, depending on the date) Fosnes or Overhalla, in the Namdalen region, Nord-Trøndelag. Around 1900 there was a push to move from patronyms to surnames, and many used their farm name as their surname: my great-grandfather among them. Farm names are traditionally important, and if you don't believe me, check out Olaf Rygh's nineteen volume Norske Gaardnavne, which is [searchable]. --Catsidhe ^{(verba, facta)} 22:24, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

If you speak both Arabic and English at near-native level you're very unlikely to find anybody here who can do this better than yourself. I will tell you my reading of it. But since my Arabic is not near-native at all, the reading may be flawed.

I'd understand it on the lines of: "He has brought many together, but no one can help the fools." The first part could mean that he united them to some end, or that he brought them back to the right path. The second part seems relatively clear to me: "He's not the keeper of the stupid", in the sense of: "They are a lost cause." Kolmiel (talk) 02:07, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

I'd warned you :) No. It would have worked like that without the article in بالراعي. But this way, I have no clue. Kolmiel (talk) 13:36, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

There's no guarantee that i'm one of the best around here :). Moreover, it's somehow a challenge to read classical shā'ir since they heavily rely on allusions.

However, i learnt that this phrase came from a Rujz (type of shā'ir) by Ru'bah ibn Hajjaj. I found a sharah -grammatical or logical explanation of some shā'ir- on his work.

اََلَّفَ شَتَّى لَيْسَ بِالرَّاعِي الحَمِقْ......شَذّابَةٌ عَنْهَا شَذَى الرُّبْعِ السُّحُقْ

The sharah: يعني الحمار ألف وجمع ما تفرق من الاتن وليس بالراعي الحمق أي الاحمق

It means the donkey compiled/gathered what are divided from the female (donkey) and he (the male donkey) is not a bad shepherd i.e. stupid one

I included the sharah so someone might give a better explanation. Heydari (talk|contibs) 02:26, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Waite Phillips, who lent the property — lent or left? —Tamfang (talk) 20:13, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

@PseudoSkull here goes:

Philmont Scout Ranch is een ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico, die in het bezit is van de Boy Scouts of America. Scouts gaan voornamelijk naar Philmont voor lange backpackingtrips van 7 tot 14 dagen naast andere activiteiten. Het is het grootste scoutingterrein ter wereld en is een van de grootste jongerenkampen ter wereld naar oppervlakte. De ranch was voorheen het eigendom van de oliebaron Waite Phillips, die in 1938 het landgoed uitleende aan de BSA.

Notes: "scoutingterrein" is a pretty makeshift translation for "scouting reservation", there doesn't seem to be an equivalent Dutch term; "uitleende" is a literal rendering of "lent", but as the ranch was an endowment "schonk" or "begiftigde" seems more appropriate.

@Stephen G. Brown: Hmm, I saw the request but I didn't want to service this abuse. It's funny but why does a "bald old man/granddad" (Ukrainian) mean "fucking dog" (English)? I am just curious about the choice of words, not saying it's totally wrong. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 12:13, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

We can't translate "fucking dog" literally, so we have to try to think of what a Ukrainian person might actually say under the circumstances. Ukrainian дідько = чёрт, бес, so it's like "bald devil". I think лисий (lysyj) is an intensifier, to make it more offensive. Translating bran’ is tricky and it requires creative thinking. Also, the English does not quite make sense. If she is speaking to someone in particular and calling him a fucking dog, then she would not ask him who stole the purse. She would only call him a fucking dog if she thought he stole it. But if she really does not know who stole her purse, then it would be illogical to call an innocent listener a fucking dog. Therefore, I took the other person out of the scenario and changed "you fucking dog" to something more like "God damn it" or "Jesus H. Christ". —Stephen ^(Talk) 19:52, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, you're ді́дько (dídʹko) means "devil". It still sounds folklorish to me but I won't exercise in Ukrainian swearing.--Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 00:22, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Stephen - my attempt was pretty good then. For "tenir la mer", it seems like a set phrase to me. I found the following definition on TLFi: "Naviguer sans se rapprocher de la côte", so instead of "seaworthy" I will change my translation to "[...] had I stubbornly sailed without approaching the coast.". Or does English have a set phrase with the same meaning? BigDom 08:30, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

In this case I think that "tenir la mer" means "naviguer en haute mer". My proposal "had I stubbornly sailed on the open sea". Aside "que je fusse" is "être" in imperfect subjunctive tense (first person singular form). --AldoSyrt (talk) 09:08, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

What about pour peu? Is that an idiomatic construction that I've never seen before? —Tamfang (talk) 18:41, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

"pour peu" [+ subjunctive] is used to put forward an hypothesis (ref.: Dictionnaire de l'Académis française, 9e édition). It is usualy translated by "if". A synonym: "pouvu que" ("provided that") . This phrase is not uncommon. --AldoSyrt (talk) 08:49, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

The conjunction is "pour peu que", not "pour peu". The sentence sounds ungrammatical, and should be "[...] pour peu que je me fusse obstiné". And if there's really no "que", then it's not an expression used currently at all. --Barytonesis (talk) 19:49, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

You are right. For me it was obvious that "que" was missing in the quote by the OP. See here [9] (chapter xviii. 369). I should have written: "pour peu que" [+ subjunctive] in my answer. My fault. Apologies. --AldoSyrt (talk) 07:51, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Am I close? I'm also wondering why the definite article doesn't assimilate to the /d/. --WikiTiki89 14:44, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Yes, very close, thanks, only ṛažel should probably be rɑʒɪl, since it's emphatic but I am just trying to understand the rules. "šeṛžem" looks good, though. It's "fe-d-dar", I made a mistake. Not sure about "fayn" yet, they don't describe diphthongs well but I think it's [fæjn]. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 21:27, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

What book are you using? Regarding رجل (again, based on the Wikipedia page), the true reflex of a short vowel near an emphatic is [ɐ] (not near an emphatic or pharyngeal, it would [ɪ]). The true reflex of a long-a near an emphatic would be [ɑ]. It is of course possible that in this word, the "short" vowel shifted to a "long" vowel, but I think it's more likely (without further evidence) that the a in the transliteration is just representing the emphatic realization of the short vowel. --WikiTiki89 21:35, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

I am using this book, which has a lot of focus on the pronunciation. It's a longer type of "a" here, otherwise, they would use "ṛežel" or "ṛužel". Consider it as "ṛāžil" but Moroccan doesn't have truly long vowels. They are quite consistent in rendering sounds. Confirmed my assumption on "fayn". --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 22:16, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

I see, as long as you're sure. And it's not as though Moroccan doesn't have long vowels, it's that according to these analyses vowel length isn't phonemic. --WikiTiki89 23:07, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

I'm sure about the pronunciation and now I can listen to the actual recording, Now I think it should be spelled راجل but as dialect orthography is not standardised, borrowing from fuṣḥā occurs quite often. The same situation occurs with many Chinese lects due to the similar diglossia. I only have access to the romanisation and audio. I was hoping someone suggests the right spellings as well. I'll try asking around about the spellings. I have some reservations about Moroccan resources - e.g. if I find a word in my textbook or phrasebook I have trouble confirming it elsewhere. Western dialects have lots more differences form the standard and from each other and even inside country boundaries there seems to be a lot of varieties.--Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 23:39, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

banque du sang — (((Romanophile))) ♞ (contributions) 21:35, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Not sure how useful this is. Of course, there were no blood banks anywhere during the centuries that Latin was a living language. This is just a translation, and is not actually used:

de sanguine bancus. (bancus is late Latin, the etymon of French banque. There is probably a better Latin word than this, but it does not occur to me.) —Stephen ^(Talk) 03:28, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Banks in the modern sense were an Italian invention, from banca, cognate with "bench". (Is Lat. bancus attested in that sense? Or should it be a feminine noun banca?)

Possibly the sense of "a storage place for blood" could be carried in repositorium sanguinis? --Catsidhe ^{(verba, facta)} 04:11, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

I don't think "empire" translates to anything romantic in Dutch, but here it goes. It's in Dutch from the Netherlands, with an informal tone:

Ik hou van jou, mijn mooie engel, hou meer van jou dan je in zo korte tijd kunt weten. Ik kan niet wachten om met jou een rijk en een mooi leven op te bouwen.

This assumes that you don't mean empire as a country governed by an actual emperor. If you do mean that, you should say/write keizerrijk instead of rijk. Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 09:22, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

True, it can also mean wereldrijk and empire even translates into imperium if it pertains to businesses. 2001:1C02:1907:9500:ACFD:AB5D:FDF:B466 13:21, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Is it really inherently derogatory, or is it just that it happens to be used in derogatory contexts.

Over a month ago, I posted a request asking for two quotes to be translated to Latin. The specific dialect I requested was Old/Classical Latin, something nobody can speak anymore (I hold a silly belief that modern contemporary Latin (as spoken by the Vatican) is not "true Latin" (as spoken by the ancient Romans)). I deleted that request the same time I posted this one because as you've said, no one wants to do something overtly difficult, so in that sense I was asking too much. I guess I haven't wised up much from 4 years ago when I got carried away from seeing people giving requests in Norse, Egyptian script, and even cuneiform languages. And yes, I fully understand those reasons. It makes me hate myself a little more knowing I don't trust myself with my own skill and have neither the finances nor the social connections to properly learn a language.

Meu animal favorito é o pinguim, porque sua abordagem desajeitada é muito engraçada. Prefiro ver pingüins em documentários do que nos jardins zoológicos porque os pinguins são infelizes em gaiolas. Um pinguim pode se afogar, no entanto, se permanecer na água durante muito tempo porque não é um peixe, mas não é um mamífero, nem porque não produz leite. Se os pinguins pudessem voar, não perderiam tempo pescando em água fria. Os fones de ouvido servem para ouvir as músicas que os pinguins podem ver. É por isso que eu realmente amo os pinguins!

Mon animal préféré est le pingouin, parce que sa marche maladroite est très drôle. Je préférerais voir des manchots dans les documentaires que dans les zoos, car les pingouins sont mécontents dans les cages. Un manchot peut toutefois se noyer s’il reste longtemps dans l’eau, car ce n’est pas un poisson. Ce n’est pas non plus un mammifère, car il ne produit pas de lait. Si les pingouins pouvaient voler, ils ne perdraient pas de temps dans l’eau froide. Les écouteurs sont utilisés pour écouter les chansons que les pingouins peuvent faire.

inventor, from English to Middle Persian

What was the Middle Persian word for an inventor, or a person who invents/constructs mechanical gadgets? What's the modern Persian word? And if anyone knows it, what was the Middle Mongolian word? (@ZxxZxxZ?) --Teepok (talk) 14:38, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

The modern Persian word for "inventor" is مخترع (moxtare'). "invention" is attested as nihišn in the title of the Middle Persian work The Explanation of Chess and the Invention of Backgammon, so "inventor" may be reconstructed as *nihišngar(?). --Z 18:10, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

@ZxxZxxZ, Stephen G. Brown, thank you both! How would a "tinker(er)" be termed in Persian or Mongolian, a man who constructs/repairs mechanical devices? I understand if there isn't a single word that combines those meanings the way there is in English. "Engineer" might work as a substitute, bearing in mind he'd be engineering and/or repairing things like the gear systems of water clocks (or in the modern era watches, engines, etc), not buildings. Teepok (talk) 16:45, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

I think I have seen بند زن in Persian, but I'm not sure of that. In Mongolian, also not sure. Perhaps цагаан тугалга дархан would work. It means "tin craftsman." Or maybe just уран дархан (craftsman) or гар урлалч (craftsman). —Stephen ^(Talk) 07:53, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

From German phonetic transcription to IPA (17:43, 24 December 2017 (UTC))

Source: Proben hoch- und niederdeutscher Mundarten von Alfred Götze, p. 2f.
I'm not asking for a translation of the text but of a translation of the phonectic transcription as described in that text into IPA.
My guess:

• a e i o u ö ü = [a] [e] [i] [o] [u] [ø] [y]
• ę į ǫ ų [ö with tail] [ü with tail] = [ɛ] [ɪ] [ɔ] [ʊ] [œ] [ʏ]
  ą = [ä] ?
• line above vowels = [ː] (ː put after letters, not above or below them),
  thus ā ē ī = [aː] [eː] [iː] and [e with line above and tail] [ǫ with line above and tail] = [ɛː] [ɔː]
• ė ȯ = [ɘ] [ɵ] ?
• å = [ɒ] ?
• ä = [æ] ?
• y = [ɨ] ?
• Murmelvokale: [turned a, similar to ɐ] [turned e, similar to ə] = [ɐ] [ə],
  [turned i, similar to !] = [ɪ̈] or [ɨ̞] ?
• χ = [ç]
  x = [x] or [χ] ?
• ł = [ɫ] ?
• b d g (Low German) = b d g;
  b d g (Upper German) = [b̥] [d̥] [ɡ̊] = [p] [t] [k]
• syllabic sonants (silbische Sonanten): ring below (as in m̥ r̥ ) = [ ̩] ( ̩ put below letters as in n̩)
• [ŋ with line above] [ł with line above] [š with line above] x̄ = consonant character with [ː];
  p̄ t̄ k̄ = ?
• raised letter (as ^{d r}) = expressed with Unicode Character 'COMBINING LEFT ANGLE BELOW' (U+0349) [11] as d͉ r͉  ?

This should be less doubtful:

• nasalisation (Näselung) denoted by curvy circumflex: ~ = [~] (~ put above letters, not after them)
• Haupt- u. Nebeton: ´ ` = [ˈ] [ˌ]
• r [r with bow below] = ​[r] [⁠ʁ];
  g γ = [ɡ] [ɣ];
  f​ s ​š​ v ​z ž = [f] [s] ​[ʃ​] [v] ​[z​] ​[ʒ];
  ŋ = [ŋ];
  h (in ph th kh) = [ʰ]

--Upper German (talk) 17:43, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

The way you've presented it is too much work. It would have been a lot better to put the letters you want converted to IPA (and the language they come from). As it is, it would probably take hours to do it. We only have maybe 10 minutes to spare for something like this. —Stephen ^(Talk) 10:12, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

It's a phonetic transcription used for High and Low German dialects.

I'd like to have all letters of the phonetic transcription converted to IPA (if that's even possible). I'm pretty sure about ​š = [ʃ], rather sure about ə = [ə], unsure about ä = [æ] for example.

I thought and hoped it wouldn't take so much time for someone having more knowledge of IPA or (German) sounds than me. The German phonetic transcription is explained on p. 2f. and has the length of less than one page. A rough English translation:

Vowels:

a e i o u ö ü denote closed short vowels with full vowel sound.
ą ę į etc. are the corresponding open short vowels,
ā ē ī etc. are the closed long vowels
ę̄ ǭ etc. are the open long vowels.
ė ȯ are extremely strong closed, å (å̄) is a wide open ǫ, ä is a wide open ę.
Circumflex (curvy like ~) over a vowel character (ā̃ ẽ ō̃) denotes nasalation, also above w.
y is a lowered i with darker sound.
The turned characters (ɐ ə ı̣) denote a mumble-vowel.
´ denotes where necessary primary or main-stress, ` secondary or by-stress.

Consonants:

[...]
Other ambiguous characters are split as well: χ substitutes ch as ich-sound (cp. ich), x as ach-sound (cp. ach). r is used for tip-of-the-tongue-r, r̯ for uvula-r. ł denotes velar l.
From the real tenues p t k are distinguished the tenues aspiratae ph th kh, from the plosive g [is distinguished] the corresponding voiced fricative γ, from the voiceless f s š [are distinguished] the voiced v z ž.
b d g denote in Low German dialects voiced lenes, in Middle or Upper German [dialects] voiceless [lenes].
Our ng (e.g. in singen) is denoted by ŋ.
Syllabic sonats are written m̥ r̥ etc.
For consonants too length is denoted by a line above them: ŋ̄ ł̄ š̄ x̄ etc. p̄ t̄ k̄ mean that the syllable-border lies in the plosive.
Raised characters (^{d r} etc.) denote a weakly articulated sound.

Put into a long looking a table (with various characters being present only in a comment):

explanation	German phonetic transcription	IPA (1 - my guess)	IPA (2)
vowels
closed short vowel (I think only ə,ɪ,ʏ,ʊ are closed short; a,ɛ,ɐ,ɔ,œ are open vowels)	a	[a]	a
	e	[e]	ə
	i	[i]	ɪ
	o	[o]	ɔ
	u	[u]	ʊ
	ö	[ø]	œ
	ü	[y]	ʏ

	į	[ɪ]	ɪ
	ǫ	[ɔ]	ɔ
	ų	[ʊ]	ʊ
	ǫ̈	[œ]	œ
	ų̈	[ʏ]	ʏ
The long closed/open vowels are missing here: they are aː,eː,iː,oː,øː,uː,yː (note that eː,iː,øː,uː,yː are different from ɛ,ɪ,œ,ʊ,ʏ)
extremely strong closed vowel (not sure what they mean, but probably just /e/ and /o/, as in Beeren /ˈbeːʁən/ and Bote /ˈboːtə/)	ė	[ɘ] ?	e
	ȯ	[ɵ] ?	o
wide open ǫ (not sure of the meaning, maybe /ɔ/)	å	[ɒ] ?	ɔ
wide open ę (not sure of the meaning, maybe /ɛ/)	ä	[æ] ?	ɛ
lowered i with darker sound	y	[ɨ] ?	ɨ?
mumble-vowel (Murmelvokal)	ɐ	[ɐ]	ɐ
	ə	[ə]	ə
	ı̣ (Low German isn't a particular language, there are several dialects and languages that are called this. I don't know of any Low German that has [ɨ] or [ɨ̞]... usually just [i] or [ɪ])	[ɪ̈] or [ɨ̞] ?	ɨ?
consonants
ach-sound (ach-Laut)	x	[x] or [χ] ?	x
velar l (velares l) (Germanic languages have no velar l. It's a very rare sound, not like /ł/. ʟ is a velar l	ł	[ɫ] ?
syllabic sonant (silbischer Sonant)	ring below (as in m̥ r̥ )	[ ̩] ( ̩ put below letters as in [n̩])	̥ (m̥,r̥,l̥,n̥)
consonant length	¯ (line above consonant characters)	[ː] (ː put after consonant characters)	ː
	¯ (above p̄ t̄ k̄)	?	̄ (p̄,t̄,k̄)
(voiceless lenes in High German = Middle and Upper German)	b	[b̥] = [p]	p
	d	[d̥] = [t]	t
	g	[ɡ̊] = [k]	k
weakly articulated sound	raised letter (as d r)	expressed with Unicode Character 'COMBINING LEFT ANGLE BELOW' (U+0349) [12] (as d͉ r͉ ) ?	͉ (d͉,r͉)

All that would be needed would be a checking and correction.

--Daniel Carrero (talk) 20:20, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

• @Daniel Carrero: The first two kanji are 事 and 故, together spelling 事故 (jiko, “an accident”). 事故チュー could be parsed a couple different ways: currently in the middle of an accident, assuming チュー (chū) as an alternative spelling of 中 (-chū, “in the middle of something”, suffix), or accidental smooch. Both are appropriate and fitting to the context. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 04:45, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
