I think the form with se is not so often used, and its meaning varies with different sentences. patear el culo is not so difficult, but when you throw in the se, some translations might be:
On second thought, I think the translation would be ajiłee. It is a difficult question for Navajo, because pornography is a Western cultural thing, and in Navajo culture there is nothing like it. Western morality cannot be applied to Navajo culture. Nudity for the sake of sexual excitement is a foreign concept, as is shame. Sex in all its forms is taught in Navajo culture as a natural need, like eating food and drinking water. You cannot live without it but you must not overindulge. Overindulgence is a symptom of being out of step with nature the universe around us. Maintaining harmony with the rest of nature is a personal commitment for Navajos, and there are special ceremonies for those who lose touch with their harmonious relationship with nature, to restore the person to normalcy. —Stephen(Talk)08:14, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
How does it work exactly when you want to say 'with many people' for example? Does the noun follow the instrumental case or the genitive case? 82.217.116.22412:24, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It depends on the sense of the English "with", so more context is required but in the sense of "together with" it's the instrumental case - "со мно́гими людьми́" or "со мно́жеством люде́й" (in the 2nd example "множество" is in the instrumental case, "лю́ди" is genitive, dependent on мно́жество). E.g.:
(Together) with - instrumental case - "со мно́гими людьми́". To meet someone for the first times uses "(по)знакомиться с" + instrumental case, e.g. "I met many people" - "Я познако́мился со мно́гими людьми́". "This happens to many people" - "Э́то случа́ется со мно́гими людьми́". "I went there with a lot of people" - "Я пошёл/пошла́ туда́ со мно́жеством люде́й/со мно́гими людьми́". --Anatoli T.(обсудить/вклад)12:49, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Аha, so there it is..there is also многий. I thought there was only много! Anyway, to sum up...if you say 'I went with a lot of people' it goes like с + instrumental/'много' (at least not многий) + genitive? So it does not mean that с changes the ultimate noun in this particular order? 82.217.116.22413:15, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
с большим количеством людей. The с(s) only governs the noun количество and its adjective. люди(ljudi) is not part of that phrase, but in a completely separate phrase consisting of количество людей. That is, it breaks down to "with a large amount" + "of people." It is no different from the English: with a lot of people = "with a lot" + "of people". The English prepositional phrase is "with a lot." The prepositional phrase does not include "people", and "of people" is a separate prepositional phrase. —Stephen(Talk)07:15, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As Stephen said, "a lot of people" can be translated in different ways, depending on the situation. In "многие люди" both parts are declinable (it's just adjective + noun) but "много людей" behaves like "большое количество людей" or "множество людей", where the genitive form "людей" doesn't decline. Feel free to ask for the clarification, I'm not sure if it all makes sense. The collocation "много людей" would never be used with prepositions, so other forms are used. You can {{ping}} registered editors to make sure people notice your questions.--Anatoli T.(обсудить/вклад)11:11, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It’s possible that she or he was talking about Nahuatl, but most Westerners are probably ignorant of that language.

They are rare for several reasons. One, it is something that is rarely spoken of, especially during conservatives times and when the populations of these countries were very devout. Two, and partly because it’s a subject seldom talked about, and because all of these countries had long periods where the people were very devout and pious, the Latin word did not carry through in a natural, continuous manner to the daughter languages, but instead modern people had to read many Latin texts to find such a word, and then use it in literary works in the hopes of gettint the word adopted. Three, the meaning of linguist has shifted quite a bit, and it is understood as a person who knows a lot about languages, and not a person who uses his tongue for things unrelated to language. —Stephen(Talk)03:16, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Wyang So, if a Chinese newspaper were to report on some random individual named 배치범, would they just take the most likely equivalent, which it appears you think is 裴致范, or what? WikiWinters (talk) 16:07, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A Chinese newspaper would need to be certain about person's name. It's always known what hanja spelling is for famous people. Otherwise they would transliterate or guess, sometimes incorrectly, which seems to happen sometimes with Korean or Japanese (e.g. if a name is written in kana) names. --Anatoli T.(обсудить/вклад)19:20, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The major newspapers know they should get Korean and Vietnamese names right when they report, otherwise they will get many complaints. If there is no other information about the actual characters, the newspaper could write 裴致范（音） or 裴致范（音譯） when reporting. Wyang (talk) 03:54, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not disagreeing but commenting that in literature - translations from Asian or other languages, names can be shortened or made up. E.g. in translations of some Japanese manga or English books, the choice with the author. Long English names are often shortened, especially in books for children. Japanese names not always follow the original characters, especially with cases where more than one kanji can be used or no kanji at all. It's sometimes foreigners who complain, not Chinese readers. :) --Anatoli T.(обсудить/вклад)05:08, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I'm trying for a Latin phrase: Illae [plural nom noun] In Viso Ardor Solis. I know enough to know that's not correct. What correction I have in notes is In Visione Ardor Solis. Want to keep Ardor to imply all meanings, not use an adjective. In Ardore Sole [modifier to mean sight i.e. 2nd definition]? How to do something like "in my own brilliant sight/vision/view"? Did Latin use "in sight(s)" like English? Prefer ancient Roman.
@Stephen Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah, that's not going to work. I have to preserve ardor as a noun not modifier, or it'll lose the layered meanings. It's poetry; basically the plural subject is inside ardor. Like ships are in view. The vision/consciousness part is movable; ardor isn't. What might be helpful is how is the second definition of ardor used in text? "brightness, brilliancy (of the eyes)"? I've tried to look. Is it perhaps used with oculus? I feel like this is an idiom that I don't know.
If you use the noun, you have to use it as a noun. Maybe something like "in the flame of my own view". Or "in the view of my own flame". English nouns can be used as adjectives, but Latin nouns are only nouns. If you tried to say "in meam sententiam ardorem", it becomes gibberish. Maybe you could say "in my view and in my flame". In any case, if you use the noun, it has to be used as a noun. —Stephen(Talk)13:18, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This is very slangy and rude, using "падонки" style (a kind of Russian eye dialect) or a criminal slang. A more standard version is
Охуе́ла что́ ли, на моего́ бра́та/братана́ бато́н кроши́ть?
Oxujéla štó li, na mojevó bráta/brataná batón krošítʹ?
Are you fucking crazy, fucking with my bro? (to a woman)
.
See охуе́ть(oxujétʹ). The slang expression "кроши́ть бато́н" (literally: to crumb a loaf (of bread) (on someone)) is to behave impudently towards someone, to fuck around with someone. This style is becoming increasingly popular with various bloggers but even politicians use it occasionally, e.g. Sergey Lavrov recently said that Americans are trying to "взять нас на понт", i.e. to "scare" us. This slang is common among criminals.

I'd go with that. (1) has the object as a verb phrase, with the actual verb understood: "I have the same name as he [does]". This is a formal way of putting it. (2) has the object as a noun phrase: "... as his [name]". Not incorrect, but not normal for either formal or casual speech. (3) is the normal, unmarked form, correct in just about any register. --Catsidhe(verba, facta)22:05, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Really you can say all 3, but "I have the same name as he" sounds WAY too formal/archaic and wouldn't be used in colloquial conversation. "His" is used less but still is correct.

I made that title "en>russian 1" because I want to differentiate the title from other titles, since there probably is already "English to Russian" so I have to put something different each time. Also, I want to translate it so that I can put it on the deletion discussion page. NativeCatdrop by and say Hi!23:15, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@NativeCat A suggestion - maybe you should talk to the Russian Wikipedia guys, not the English Wiktionary? Also, on a deletion, not a translation page. The Russian translation was made by me on this page (above, under "en>russian" header) but I had no idea for its purpose. We have nothing to do with the Wikipedia, let alone Wikipedias in other languages. Pls note that since this topic is irrelevant to translations, it will soon be deleted. --Anatoli T.(обсудить/вклад)23:45, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Translate the phrase: "Welcome to Fictibase. The encyclopedia of fiction." Transliterate "Fictibase" (blend of fiction and database) into Hindi transliteration.
If the name of the site is Fictibase, maybe the name should be left in English. I wrote it in Hindi, so change it back to Fictibase if you would like it better:

P.S.: This is not for a Wikipedia article. It's going on my own website. And don't translate or transliterate what is in the <> , so don't translate or transliterate "Smarf" or "Too Many Cooks".
"Smarf (_____ in Hindi transliteration) is a character from Too Many Cooks. He is a cat puppet who is a parody of similar puppets in real sitcoms. Smarf died at the end of the sitcom, covered in fake blood."
Please do not transliterate Smarf in any of the places except for in the blank. Also do not translate or transliterate "Too Many Cooks". Thank you so much. :) This will be very helpful for me! NativeCatdrop by and say Hi!18:43, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

English (Or swedish) => German, "riddle postcard" to my Germanspeaking-teacher-sister.edit
Where are we going?
10 - To which country we have traveled is clear from the language on this postcard.
8 - An Altbier can be enjoyed here, at the view of a river that is not dirty.
6 - North of the city is a country that is not up and to the west a city that together with an element becomes a vegetable.
4 - While flying to this city, we were lucky that our flight did not offer any nasty surprises over the Alps.
2 - The first part of the city name rhymes with “pyssel”, but if you guess at "Bryssel" you are in the wrong place. Second part of the city´s name means “by” in swedish.
The same text in Swedish:
10 - Vilket land vi har rest till framgår av språket på detta vykortet.
8 - Här avnjuts gärna ett glas Altbier vid en flod som inte är smutsig.
6 - Norr om staden ligger ett land som inte är uppåt och till väst finns en stad som tillsammans med ett grundämne blir en grönsak.
4 - Hade vi flugit från en flygplats som fackmän kallar BCN, kunde vi ha haft otur och fått en otrevlig överraskning över alperna.
2- Första delen i stadens namn rimmar på "pyssel" men om du gissar på Bryssel har du hamnat fel. Andra delen i stadens namn betyder “by” på svenska.
Wo gehen wir hin?
10 - Der Name des Landes, wohin wir gereist haben, ist von der Sprache auf dieser Postkarte klar.
8 - Hier kann man ein Glas Altbier genießen, an einem Fluss, der nicht verschmutzt ist.
6 - Im Norden der Stadt liegt ein Land, das nicht auf ist, und im Westen ist eine Stadt, die zusammen mit einem Element ein Gemüse wird.
4 - Als wir in diese Stadt flogen, hatten wir Glück, dass unser Flug keine bösen Überraschungen über die Alpen zu leiden brachte.
2 - Der erste Teil des Namens der Stadt reimt sich auf „pyssel“, aber wenn man an „Brüssel“ errät, an der falschen Stelle ist man. Der zweite Teil des Namens der Stadt bedeutet „Dorf“ auf schwedisch. —Stephen(Talk)01:53, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I was hoping that tuk-tuk (vehicle, a motorized rickshaw) would be something like ຕົກຕົກ(tok tok) or "ຕົກ ໆ" in Lao but there are zero hits on the Web. I know that tuk-tuks are also common in Laos. The Thai spellings are ตุ๊ก ๆ(dtóok-dtóok) and ตุ๊กตุ๊ก(dtóok-dtóok). I have simply converted Thai letters to Lao one to one but no luck. --Anatoli T.(обсудить/вклад)06:52, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The various three-wheeled taxis found in Vientiane and provincial capitals have different names depending on where you are. Larger ones are called jąmbǫh (jumbo) and can hold four to six passengers on two facing seats. In Vientiane they are sometimes called tuk-tuks as in Thailand (though traditionally in Laos this refers to a slightly larger vehicle than the jumbo), These three-wheeled conveyances are also labelled simply taak-see (taxi) or, usually for motorcycle sidecar-style vehicles, săhm-lór (three-wheels). The old-style bicycle săhm-lór (pedicab), known as a cyclo elsewhere in Indochina, is an endangered species in Laos.
In my experience, I simply used the Thai word in Laos and was universally understood. To me, săhm-lór exclusively refers to a carriage drawn by a bicycle, but this seems to imply that its semantic range is wider than that. Sorry that these are in an idiosyncratic romanisation system. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds23:32, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Atitarev According to the 4th edition of the Lonely Planet Lao Phrasebook published in March 2014 the word is ຕຸກໆ(tuk tuk):
In Vientiane they are also sometimes called túk-túk (ຕຸກໆ) as in Thailand, while in the south (Pakse, Savannakhet) they may be called 'Skylab' because of the perceived resemblance to a space capsule!
Well I'm back in Pakse now and I was here for a week four months ago and never heard 'Skylab'. I wouldn't be surprised if that's something that used to be used thirty years ago and has lived on as a meme in phrasebooks. When I hear túk-túk here it's usually foreigners saying it. But when I was hitchhiking from the Vietnam border to Attapeu my Lao driver who didn't know much English used the word for a two-wheel tractor, which I'd also heard once in Saravan province earlier in my trip. I haven't been confident enough yet about this to add it to wiktionary though.
ຕຸກໆ only gets about fifty Google hits but gets a few more if you also look for the spelling variants ຕຸກ ໆ, ຕຸກຕຸກ, and ຕຸກ ຕຸກ. — hippietrail (talk) 08:11, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Hippietrail Thanks. I've added the common and the recommended spelling. I should have tried the "u" vowel instead of "o" and I would have found it (this Lao spelling only differs from Thai in the tone marker) but there are some Lao examples with "o" with the meaning "knock", which led me in the wrong direction. BTW, {{ping}} only works if your signature is added in the same edit. --Anatoli T.(обсудить/вклад)09:46, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Atitarev Ah didn't know that. Just noticed that you hadn't seemed to have seen my comment. By the way, here in Vientian many (sleazy) tuk-tuk drivers try to get tourists attention by saying "tuk tuk" to every one that passes. But I think this is likely to be "tourism-ese" where they use the word because the tourists use it because they picked it up in Thailand. I'll ask one of the guys working in my guesthouse about this but I'm pretty sure Vientiane locals don't call them "tuk-tuk" amongst themselves. — hippietrail (talk) 09:56, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also were you aware that "song tiaw" and "jumbo" (or "jambo") are also used for similar vehicles in Laos? I don't have the Lao spellings handy but I'm sure the former is also a Thai word and the latter is not. I've never been clear on the difference between a "samlor" vs "jambo" vs "songtiaw" let alone "tuk tuk" in Lao. I don't think "jumbo" is the biggest among them though. — hippietrail (talk) 09:56, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I’m honestly surprised that they don’t have a word for this. I know that Navajo never uses infinitives, but I thought that they had words for everything, including foreign concepts. --Romanophile (talk) 16:09, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
They can make one if they need it. Most English verbs in dictionaries have a single form for the infinitive and the present tense forms except for the 3rd person, so there would be little need for a special word other than verb. If they were looking at Spanish verbs, they might say "main verb", "basic verb", or something like that. I would have to ask what expression they prefer for Spanish infinitives (there would probably be a number of different answers, all valid). —Stephen(Talk)16:19, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have discussed it with some fluent native speakers, and they agreed that they would use the term bee áhodoonííł saad. They have not needed it up to now, since infinitives are not found in Navajo and the term not needed in English by most people. But if they studied Spanish or other language where infinitives were important, this is what they would call it. —Stephen(Talk)21:16, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, it’s a noun. In a case such as « en cas de mal à l'aise » or « symptômes physiques d'anxiété et de mal à l'aise », the Spanish would need the noun incomodidad. —Stephen(Talk)13:42, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Listen to the fire alarm. Once you hear the alarm, evacuate as soon as possible. If you ever get lost, follow anyone else thats why you need to be together. If you get caught up with smoke, get down low and crawl. Do not hide if there is fire. Once you are outside follow all instructions. If there is a risk of explosion, get as far away from the taxi area as possible and face away at all times. As soon as possible,call your local or nearest fire department. If it is safe to go back inside, listen to your school bell. Then follow everyone back inside. Know your fire exists, so in case you are lost in the fire, you must know where your nearest exist is.
Luister vir die brandalarm. Sodra jy die alarm hoor, ontruim so gou as moontlik. As jy al ooit verlore raak, volg iemand anders. Dit is die rede waarom jy nodig het om saam te wees. As jy gevang in die rook, kry laag en kruip op die vloer. Moenie wegkruip as daar is 'n brand. Sodra jy buite is, volg al die instruksies. As daar is 'n risiko van die ontploffing, beweeg so ver weg van die taxi area as moontlik, en draai jou gesig weg van die brand te alle tye. So gou as moontlik, bel die naaste brandweer. As dit veilig is om terug te gaan binne, luister vir jou skool klok. Dan volg almal terug binne. Weet waar jou branduitgange is, sodat in die geval dat jy verloor het in die brand, sal jy weet waar jou naaste uitgang is. —Stephen(Talk)07:21, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The terms "повідо́млення" (Ukrainian)/"сообще́ние", "уведомле́ние" (Russian) are more like "notification or message (communication)", послання (uk)/послание (ru) sound more poetic and may include the "underlying topic" sense. --Anatoli T.(обсудить/вклад)02:21, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Hippietrail. You normally order food or drinks with ຂໍ (in Lao) and ขอ (in Thai). I don't know much about Lao polite particles, they are probably similar to Thai. You can try yourself. They are not mandatory, especially if you're a customer. --Anatoli T.(обсудить/вклад)12:54, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ah yes it's the ອີກ(ʼīk) that I'd forgotten. Our automatic transliteration for ແກ້ວ(kǣu) is still broken. It should be more like the Thai word with the 'w' at the end rather than between the initial consonant and the vowel. Lao writing is more ambiguous in practice than it looks at first glance.
Lao doesn't have the 'krap'/'ka' polite particles like in Thai. There are other polite particles of a different nature, that I guess Thai has equivalents of. One is ເດີ(dœ̄) - you'll often see it used to make "thank you" more polite: "kop chai" -> "kop chai deu". And for ordering things there is ແດ່(dǣ) that is sometimes translated as "please". — hippietrail (talk) 03:18, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I agree about the transliteration of "ແກ້ວ", which is unambiguously "kǣu". The diphthong ແ-ວ surrounds the consonant "ກ" from both sides and the diacritic (້) is a tone diacritic we don't use for transliteration purposes. Unfortunately, Wyang seems to have given up major work at Wiktionary and no-one is taking over. He should be able to fix it.
The equivalents of Thai ครับ and ค่ะ/คะ are not used in the same sense in Lao - neither as particles, nor as a "yes" answer to a yes/no question. Sort of equivalent are ຂ້ານ້ອຍ(khān ʼa nya), which also means "I" (respectfully) but is also used as a politeness particle at the end of a sentence, only if "I" is missing. Thai seems more "polite" and formal. --Anatoli T.(обсудить/вклад)03:55, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

heroin is correct. Serbo-Croatian has a pitch accent, which is used in speech but not indicated in writing.

In the case of heroin, ò = short vowel with rising tone; ī = nontonic long vowel. —Stephen(Talk)09:00, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The breve is used only in Latin dictionaries. The macron was not used in Classical times, but is sometimes written in modern Latin editions.
A number of languages use special marks or letters in dictionaries that are not used in normal text.

Hello I would like the following translated into Latin. It is a very meaningful thought to my life and feel it deserves some eloquence. I do not believe a persons professional should always follow what one loves. Quite often when a person tries to make a living around something the love the result is resentment. I do not want to lose my passion for those things I love. The other side is that success is more likely when a person pursues a professional path the benefits from their strengths.
Do what you do well. Enjoy what you love.

This is all in Chinese characters, leading me to think it's not Japanese.
The writing is quite stylized, and it is difficult to tell what the characters are intended to be.
The topmost character might be 発 (the Japanese simplified version of 發 “to start; to become”), maybe 癸 (zodiac symbol). The radical looks like 癶, but Index:Chinese_radical/癶 doesn't show anything that quite fits. Another option would be a radical of 入 with 長 on the bottom (maybe a surname?), but Index:Chinese_radical/入 also has nothing that fits this. It could be a broken-down version of 食 (“to eat”).

It might be better to say "an icon of the Novgorod variant" or "an icon (Novgorod recension)". —Stephen(Talk)10:40, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As a native speaker I would rather simply put it: "Na ihr, ich hab jetzt Deutsch gelernt." To translate "guys" with "Jungs" is somewhat misleading since "guys" in plural simply refers to people and I guess, not only to young male people. So I would rather address the persons with "ihr" or drop it in the translation and just say "Hey" or "Na". Another way would be to say "Hey Leute,...". — Best wishes, CaligariƆɐƀïиϠႵ19:51, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I googled Ode 1.2 for a translation, but they were all rather lacking, or even outright inaccurate. That said, I found it impossible to express elegantly and poetically, but here is my rendering: "What god might the people call upon for matters of authority as it tumbles down?" —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds16:36, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@JohnC5: I always interpreted this ode to refer to the time before Augustus, when the term "empire" would be inaccurate from a modern perspective; from the propagandist's view, Augustus restored the authority of Rome in the known world. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds20:27, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Metaknowledge How about “What god may the people invoke for the benefit of a collapsing state.” then?
@JohnC5 That would be good, I think. I like using "benefit", and my only problem left with your rendering is that ruō is more akin to rushing downward rather than falling apart, which "collapsing" would suggest. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds20:56, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Metaknowledge “What god may the people invoke for the benefit of a state tumbling to ruin.”
@Metaknowledge The one alternative I might suggest would be “…in the matters of a state tumbling to ruin.” It really is a matter of valence, for which res has always been a difficult subject as it can be either very out-and-out positive (wealth, fortune) or very cut-and-dry legal (issue, suit). Up to Romanophile, I suppose. —JohnC501:53, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I was watching GameCenter CX and somebody said engu instead of ending (meaning the final winning message of a video game). The audience seemed to find this very funny. Does engu mean something in Japanese? Equinox◑02:16, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think the first line should be "Quo is, eo" ("to what place you go") or "Qua is, eo" ("through what place you go"). "Ubi" means "in what place". 193.86.19.3508:02, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not exactly. In French, the past participle agrees with the direct object ("les" in this sentence) when this one occurs before the past participle. In this sentence it will be always in the plural "donnés" (masculine) or "données" (feminine) since "les" can be either masculine or feminine. We would also have:
Je te/vous les ai déjà donnés. ("les" being masculine plural)
Je te/vous les ai déjà données. ("les" being feminine plural)
Furthermore, "tu" refers to only one person you are quite familiar with, whereas "vous" can refer to several people and also to only one person you are not familiar with and/or you respectfully speak to. Such distinction has been lost in English (see thou). 86.69.154.16407:38, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The translation of Stephen is not correct: the construction with "um" is grammatically wrong. As a native speaker I would rather say: "Hallo Wula, ich kann es kaum erwarten dich im April wiederzusehen, so Gott will!" — Best wishes, CaligariƆɐƀïиϠႵ19:58, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@WikiWinters First of all, please apologize my belated reply. I'm not that often present in the English wiktionary.
As to your question I will quote from the article “hallo” in “Duden, Richtiges und gutes Deutsch” (7th edition, 2011) dictionary on the correct usage of German, and translate:
“In sehr kurzen, als vertraulich empfundenen Anreden in Briefen und E-Mails besteht die Neigung, das Komma zwischen Anredeformel und Personennamen wegzulassen: Hallo Anna, gestern hast Du geschrieben … Als korrekt im Sinne der Kommaregeln gilt aber weiterhin die Abgrenzung zwischen Anrede und Namen: Hallo, Anna, gestern hast Du geschrieben …”
Translation:
“In very short, familiar forms of address in letters and e-mails there is a tendency of omitting the comma between the formula of address and the personal name: [example] However, the dissociation between the form of address and the name still applies correctly in the meaning of the punctuation regulations regarding the comma: [example]”
So, since to me the English sentence felt as being written in a familiar and unformal way, I used the former. But you are free to use the latter as well.
Translating from English to French using masculine nounedit
Please can someone give an accurate translation from English to French (in the masculine noun) "I hope you have a lovely evening with your Mother and Sarah."
Thank you
I think you mean with a male subject rather than a masculine noun (unless you want a masculine noun for 'evening' and 'mother', and I don't think it's that you want) Anyway « J'espère que vous passerez une bonne soirée avec votre mère et Sarah » or « J'espère que tu passeras une bonne soirée avec ta mère et Sarah » (tu form).

My memory’s unclear. I was viewing a Portuguese documentary, and the narrator mentioned bread, accompanied (get it?) by footage of somebody baking bread. Voilà: [3]. Maybe I was wondering what the ancient Iberians called their bread before the Romans arrived. (Presumably, the Iberians didn’t need a loanword word for it.) I’d also like to know if there’re any cognates in Latin, to give me ideas on more entries to fabricate. But as I’ve said, my memory is unclear. --Romanophile (talk) 06:02, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Is that even a word? I cannot find any evidence of redonerō existing, and I think making up a word would be considerably more difficult to understand than using a real word in an unexpected manner. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds07:05, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I recall, the prefix re-/red- is productive and can be affixed to many verbs, even if there was previously no need for it.

Not as far as I know. There are a couple of synonyms, tribadă and gay. Homosexuality was very illegal under the communists, so gays and lesbians were careful to remain hidden. Twenty-five years ago, Russians, Romanians, and other people of the Soviet-bloc countries firmly believed that gay Russians, gay Romanians, etc., did not exist. They were certain that homosexuality was a thing of the West. After the fall of communism, homosexuality began to appear in these countries and people were astonished. The Russian Ministry of Healthcare decided to deal with their new homosexual problem by welcoming the introduction of AIDS and by turning a blind eye to its spread. It was widely believed that HIV would eradicate the gay people and then, with nothing else to feed on, it would simply vanish.

I checked several Latin dictionaries on "sustinere" vs. "sustentare," and "sustinere" seems closer to the Modern English definition of "sustain" (in the sense of environmental or social sustainability, i.e. closer to "maintain, preserve" than "uphold" or "endure"). "Sustainability" has recently become an important buzzword for environmental movements; my university even requires a Sustainability Studies course now for students. I would be surprised if it has not been used already in a Neo-Latin publication, perhaps by the Vatican. There seems to less literature in Ido though than Latin, due to the popularity of "unimproved" Esperanto. Nicole Sharp (talk) 17:32, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
