english to french

Stay away otherwise you will fall in love with me.

Éloignez-vous de moi, sinon vous allez tomber amoureux. (if you’re speaking to a man)

Éloignez-vous de moi, sinon vous allez tomber amoureuse. (if you’re speaking to a woman) —Stephen ^(Talk) 22:51, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

In French there is a distinction between man and woman, but also a T-V distinction (tu/vous) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%E2%80%93V_distinction#French_2). For example, if the persons are friends we can translate this way: Éloigne-toi de moi, sinon tu vas tomber amour/eux/euse. [Moreover, I assume there is only one addressee]. --AldoSyrt (talk) 06:16, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Here's two more, with a slightly different tone (and assuming tu, and female interlocutor):

Gardes ta distance, autrement tu risques de tomber amoureuse de moi.

Restes à l'écart de moi, autrement tu risques de tomber amoureuse.

Mathglot (talk) 06:04, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

The usual phrase is Garde tes distances. [note: Garde and Reste in Reste à l'écart whithout final "s"] -- AldoSyrt (talk) 15:32, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Paras

It’s not written in the Hindi alphabet. Are you sure it’s Hindi? What does it mean in Hindi? —Stephen ^(Talk) 20:59, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

french

i am going to tell you about my life.

Je vais vous parler de ma vie (to one person: formal/polite; to more than one person: formal or informal).

Je vais te parler de ma vie (to one person: informal). --AldoSyrt (talk) 16:53, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Je vais te/vous racconter ma vie. (not better than above, just different; has more the sense of "telling the story of my life" than telling about my life, admittedly, not a huge distinction.) --Mathglot (talk) 03:38, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Je vais te/vous raconter ma vie. [one "c" in "raconter"] -- AldoSyrt (talk) 12:08, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

French translation

I am not afraid, for God is with me. I was born for this

Je n’ai pas peur, car mon Dieu est à moi. Je suis né pour cela. (if you’re a male)

Je n’ai pas peur, car mon Dieu est à moi. Je suis née pour cela. (if you’re a female) —Stephen ^(Talk) 04:05, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

The phrase "mon Dieu est à moi" is not very common in French. Seems to be a translation from Spanish of a prayer by John of the Cross. I would say:

Je n'ai pas peur, car Dieu est avec moi. Je suis né pour cela. (if you are a male, in a polished style [written])

Je n'ai pas peur, car Dieu est avec moi. Je suis né pour ça. (if you are a male, colloquial, usual style)

Je n'ai pas peur, car Dieu est avec moi. Je suis née pour cela. (if you are a female, in a polished style [written]).

Je n'ai pas peur, car Dieu est avec moi. Je suis née pour ça. (if you are a female, colloquial, usual style). --AldoSyrt (talk) 06:26, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Paras is a hindi word which was actually a stone . When the stone was touched by any kind of thing that thing used to convert into gold. And that stone is named as paras. So pls tell the latin word of it.

Look here. --Æ&Œ (talk) 23:00, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

It might have been better transcribed as "citater fra[...", as it's a fragment. It's more likely, I think, that it's Latin, and when you give Google Translate a kick and tell it to assume Latin, it comes back as "cited fra[...". I can't figure out how that grammar works, though, nor what fra[... is meant to start. Unless, of course, Einstein was in the habit of using random snippets of Danish in his notes. --Catsidhe ^{(verba, facta)} 01:39, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Please, anyone who knows Sanskrit can help me to translate the sentence : "I'm blessed" In Portuguese this sentence is: "Eu sou abençoada"

Thank you!

अनुगृहिता अस्म्यहम् (anugṛhītā asmyaham).

अहम् अनुगृहिता अस्मि (aham anugṛhītā asmi).

धन्योऽस्मि (dhanyo asmi). There are several words that mean blessed, so the first word could be replaced by another. —Stephen ^(Talk) 00:11, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

translate a saying for my sons name to hawaiian

The saying for my sons name I want is diamond strong royal faithful warrior mothers precious falling star. This is the meaning I want behind his Hawaiian name

You can’t say such weird things in Hawaiian. It would sound like gibberish. Something more reasonable might be "papa poʻo" (leader of warriors), or "hōkū welowelo" (shooting star). —Stephen ^(Talk) 09:31, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

English to Aramaic

Hi, I would like to translate the sentence "Your faith healed you" to Aramaic.
I think it's spoused to be "הימנותך אסאי לך", but I'm not sure about the inflection of the verb.
Thanks, ShoobyD (talk) 02:32, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

I think the Peshitta says: ܗܰܝܡܳܢܽܘܬ݂ܶܟ݂ܝ ܐܰܚܝܰܬ݂ܶܟ݂ܝ ܘܶܐܬ݂ܰܐܣܝܰܬ݂ (or: הַימָנוּתֵכי אַחיַתֵכי וֵאתַאסיַת) —Stephen ^(Talk) 10:59, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. ShoobyD (talk) 03:02, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

BTW, "הַימָנוּתֵכי אַחיַתֵכי" is the feminine form; to a male you say "הימנותך אחיתך" (which literally means "your faith gives you life"). ShoobyD (talk) 04:04, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

English to Latin

German to English

Bitte halt deine Fresse.

Please shut your gob. —Stephen ^(Talk) 19:09, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity, why did you choose the word "gob" as opposed to "mouth?" WikiWinters (talk) 22:09, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

I would also suggest "trap" as well as "gob." —JohnC5 ^{(Talk | contribs)} 03:20, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

I don’t know, that’s just what it feels like to me. Maybe it’s because fressen is how animals eat, and gob has gobble as a frequentative verb for eating greedily. But I didn’t think about it, that’s just how it came out. —Stephen ^(Talk) 09:05, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

We shouldn't be picky about word choices a translator makes. "Halt's Maul" (=halt das Maul) or "halt die Fresse" is just a usual way to say "shut up" in German, literal translations doesn't matter. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 08:01, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Fundamentals to French

I wanted to tell someone they had good fundamentals (good basic skills) in French but can't think of a good word. Also we lack such a sense of fundamentals, basics also lacks this sense (good basic, good fundamentals) and they're not really singular nouns (you can't tell someone they have one good fundamental but the rest are bad). Renard Migrant (talk) 13:08, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

I’m just trying to imagine what your sentence would look like in English, but I’m having trouble with it. It does not sound correct (to my ear) that you would say "you have good fundamentals in French." How about « notions de base », « base solide », « principes fondamentaux », « principes de base », or « une bonne connaissance des bases » —Stephen ^(Talk) 15:50, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

I've probably picked it up from watching Major League Baseball. I think « principes de base », « bases solides » are really good choices. Renard Migrant (talk) 20:57, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

English to Latin: "We are cheap, and proud of it"

(The church finance committee is proud we're under budget. If we had a motto, this would be it.) Thanks in advance. RJFJR (talk) 01:15, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

You could do "dēparcī (sumus) et superbīmus igitur," which would mean "(We are) miserly/stingy and proud therefore." Translating "cheap" in the sense of "stingy" but not "greedy" is a bit hard. —JohnC5 ^{(Talk | contribs)} 02:05 30 September 2014 (UTC)
