A surgery. --Romanophile ♞ (contributions) 01:27, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

כירורגיה —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 01:30, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

@Metaknowledge I wonder if all derivations from the German Chirurgie are mistranslated into English, including the Hebrew and Yiddish words. In German and Russian хирургия the word means "the area of science", also a department but not the surgical operation. The German entry and its derivations should be checked. For the surgical operation, the word Operation is used in German and Russians use операция. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 01:43, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you so much for that. I feel embarrassed for having overlooked that, and of course you are right. I'll fix the Yiddish. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 01:46, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

No need to be embarrassed. It seems that mistake has been carried over to other languages as well, perhaps French chirurgie (does it really mean "a surgical operation"?). Thanks for confirming that senses for Hebrew כִירוּרְגְּיָה (kirurgya) and Yiddish כירורגיע (khirurgye) are the same as in German and Russian хирурги́я (xirurgíja). For instances of surgery, a qualifier "surgical" can be used, e.g. "хирургическая операция" (surgical operation, ie. surgery) - chirurgische Operation to make it clear which "operation" it is about (it also has many senses in German, Russian, etc.). --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 01:54, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Is the following sentence correct English? I am not sure whether the use 'I leave' or 'I will leave' after whenever: 'Whenever I step out of the warmth of a peasant home into the cold Russian winter, Ternate will be on my mind.' Oh, also, is it okay to use the second 'has' in this comparative context? And is 'until now' okay?: 'Indonesia’s colonial history has allowed me to explore what it is like to work with archives much more than my study of Russian peasants has until now'. 82.217.116.224 17:58, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

"Whenever I step out of the warmth..." — yes, it is correct. It is always "whenever I go," "whenever I eat," "whenever I see"; and never "whenever I will go," "whenever I will eat," "whenever I will see."

"Indonesia’s colonial history has allowed me to explore what it is like to work with archives much more than my study of Russian peasants has until now" — The use of "has" is correct, but the sentence is too complex, confusing, and unnatural. "Until now" makes it seem as though a change has happened, and that from now on, it will be the opposite. Try it this way:

"Compared to my study of Russian peasants, Indonesia’s colonial history has so far allowed me to explore to a much greater extent what it is like to work with archives." —Stephen ^(Talk) 05:06, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

@Atitarev Some text about Veps grammar. I could use an automatic translator, but I want to make sure I get all the details correct.

Обратим внимание на показатели множественного числа. В письменном языке по версии Петрозаводска показатель 3 лица -ba, по версии Петербурга - -tas / -das (так или почти так говорит подавляющее большинство вепсов). Показатели -mei и -tei опциональны (так говорят средние вепсы, составляющее большинство носителей языка; почти все вепсы Петербурга – средние). Показатели -m и -t приняты в письменном языке. Все показатели, кроме -tas / -das, присоединяются к гласной основе, а ‑tas / -das – к согласной основе или к так называемой краткой гласной основе, если они есть. —CodeCat 17:56, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Edit conflicts now cause pages to expire!

@CodeCat Let's pay attention to plural markers. In the written language, according to the Petrozavodsk version - 3rd person marker is -ba, according to the St Petersburg version - -tas / -das (the majority of Veps speaks so or almost so). Markers -mei and -tei are optional ("average"/"median" (?) Veps, making up the majority of native speakers, speak so or almost so; almost all St Petersburg Veps are median (?)). -m and -t markers are used in the written language.

All markers, except for -tas and -das, are attached to the vowel base and -tas / - das to the consonantal base (???) or to the so-called short vowel base, if they exist. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 00:06, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

@Atitarev Thank you! I have another:

Итак,

1. Часть глагола, оканчивающаяся на гласный, перед показателем I инфинитива -da – это полная гласная основа;
2. Часть глагола, оканчивающаяся на гласный, перед показателем -ta – это краткая гласная основа;
3. Часть глагола, оканчивающаяся на согласный, перед показателями ‑da или -ta – это согласная основа;

В случаях 2 и 3 полная гласная основа находится (и обязательно запоминается!) по словарю. —CodeCat 01:08, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Thus,

1. Part of the verb ending in a vowel, ending in a vowel, before infinitive 1 marker -da is a full vowel base (stem);
2. Part of the verb ending in a vowel, ending in a vowel, before -ta marker is a short vowel base;
3. Part of the verb ending in a consonant, ending in a vowel, before -da and -ta markers is a consonant base;

In cases 2 and 3 the full vowel base should be looked up in a dictionary (and must be memorised!) --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 01:18, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

My question:

• I get that height = 高さ, but what about the width and lenght? The entries width and length translate differently from what is written in the box, but it's just width/length that is written in the box or is there something else, like "width from X to Y"?

最大径 (saidaikei) means "maximum diameter" (150mm), 直径 (chokkei) means "diameter" (103mm). Entertainingly, multiplying them doesn't get you the volume xD Nibiko (talk) 22:00, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

In tabular format:

品名 Product Name	クリンスイQ（キュー） Cleansui Q (c.f. website here)

本体 サイズ （ｍｍ） Main Unit Size (mm)	最大径   直径   高さ   150   x  103 x  225 Max Width   Diameter   Height     150     x     103    x    225
総重量 Total Weight	1.0kg (満水時1.3kg) 1.0kg (When full of water, 1.3kg)

One of the key differences here, versus your expectations, is the use of 径 (kei, “width (across something round, or at least roundish)”). 幅 (haba) refers to the width of something square, or at least squarish. The 150mm measurement would be the maximum width from the back of the unit to the front tip of the dispenser portion, while the 103mm measurement would be the diameter of the cylindrical portion.

東京都中央区京橋2－3－19. That's an address of Mitsubishi Rayon Co., Ltd.. I suppose that a more relevant sentence is the middle sentence, which is "有効期間使用開始より2ヶ月" (good for 2 months from the start of use). Nibiko (talk) 19:17, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Oh, that makes sense, thanks. I may be wrong, but I think that comes down to "Replace the water after 2 months and add more sterilizer liquid"; which would be different from "once you open the sterilizer liquid, after 2 months, throw it away". The latter is the logic of certain sealed food items, like a jar of mayonnaise or a can of beans if I remember correctly. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 19:25, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Do adjectives in Proto‐Germanic double as adverbs? --Romanophile ♞ (contributions) 09:57, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

As far as I know (I’m not an expert in Proto-Germanic), the simplest form of an adjective is also an adverb. Many languages make an adverb by adding a prefix or suffix, but Germanic languages do the opposite (more or less). It’s why English still has a few adverbs that do not take -ly, such as fast, hard, soon, bad, good. So in German, loudly is laut (er sprach laut ... he spoke loudly). The adjective needs endings for case, gender, and number: lauter, laute, lautes, and so on. When used predicatively, the adjective form is laut (es ist laut ... it is loud). —Stephen ^(Talk) 10:24, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Ah, so it’s like Romanian, then. Would you say that words like laut should have an adverbial section? There might be a lexicographic practice to take adverbs for granted depending on the language, which is presumably why it’s absent. --Romanophile ♞ (contributions) 13:04, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

I expected that laut would have an adverb section, and I was surprised that it doesn’t. Yes, it’s possible that it has been decided that an adverb section is not needed for German adverbs, since they are the same as the predicative adjective, including the definition plus -ly. I noted that the entry at de:laut also makes no mention of the adverb.

It’s close to the situation with Russian, where the adverb is usually identical to the neuter singular predicative adjective: легко (light, easy; lightly, easily). It feels somehow weird to put an adverb section into every Russian adjective page, since the adverb goes without saying. —Stephen ^(Talk) 14:28, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Late comment: Yes, exactly. Technically we need to put adverbs in all German adjective lemmas. (And God willing that will be the case someday, too.) But it's somewhat repetitive, because every adjective (except for a few structure words) is automatically its own adverb. Kolmiel (talk) 21:38, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Practice for Dutch is to explicitly exclude adverbs with the same meaning as the adjective. —CodeCat 22:13, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Also fine by me. We'd have to delete a couple in that case, however. Kolmiel (talk) 01:16, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

I believe the adverb would be *hlūda, *hlūdô or *hlūdê Leasnam (talk) 11:08, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

The ending "-ly" means nothing other than "-like". Also, it is used to form adjectives from nouns. Therefore, it would not surprise me if adverbs don't need an ending at all. --kc_kennylau (talk) 11:09, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

So, I have started this Chinese New Year with a completely new frame of mind. I am much more active and do community service activities now. I wanted to see if you are also happier these days in your independence and daily schedule. I want to apologize to you if, before, I agreed to see you in Germany. I'd like to be friends with you and time will tell if sometime we can meet.

Così, ho iniziato questo nuovo anno cinese con un nuovo stato d’animo. Sono molto più attivo ed ora faccio attività di interesse pubblico.

Volevo vedere se anche voi siete più felice in questi giorni a vostra indipendenza e programma giornaliero.

Ad avercene in Italia persone come te. --Romanophile ♞ (contributions) 13:54, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

It’s difficult to translate it without more context. Fairly literally, I would say it means "For getting together in Italy with people such as you." However, it’s ironic and the primary meaning is something like "Too bad we don’t have people like you in Italy." But the real meaning underlying it is more like "It’s a good thing we don’t have people like you in Italy." The Italian word avercene = averci + ne. The words averci, avercene, and avervene are very idiomatic and difficult to translate. By the way, averci should have a regular entry instead of redirecting to avere and ci. averci is a difficult word, and it is much more than the sum of its parts. It needs to show a lot of examples to help anyone to understand it. But I don’t do Italian entries. (If I made an entry for averci, someone who doesn’t know a word of Italian would claim it’s SOP and delete it.) —Stephen ^(Talk) 05:36, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

buit --Romanophile ♞ (contributions) 11:48, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

@Romanophile: (You can completely ignore what I say below).

The VL form is undoubtedly *vocitus/vocitu[m] (compare OF vuit > F vuide).

So there are a few questions to answer, to construct the OC term:

1. v or b?
2. o or u?
3. is there c?
4. is there i?

Compare L facienda > OC faena > C feina, so the "c" was already gone in OC.

There is i because o gives o and oi gives ui.

(L octo > ? oitu > C (v)uit)

(L cogitare > VL coitar > OP cuidar > C cuidar)

Notice "OP cuidar" also answers our second question: it was a u. (There is no counter-example yet)

For the last question: every "v-" in OP gives "v-" in C and every "b-" in OP gives "b-" in C.

Therefore it was a b.

However, there is another point to consider: OC malvatz > C malvat

Therefore, buitz.

As far as I know, Romanophile’s translation requests are not intended for use on English Wiktionary. Concerning accuracy of translations of pie, it is problematic with many languages, because pie in the default sense is not traditional in most non-English-speaking countries. For Yiddish, I think there are various words for pie, depending on size, shape, ingredients, and texture, and sometimes also depending on the country where the Yiddish is spoken. Pie is a cultural dessert, and translations are seldom accurate. —Stephen ^(Talk) 23:20, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

I’m surprised that you interpreted it as an exclamation and not a question. It also seems that our entry for quoi is lacking your sense. --Romanophile ♞ (contributions) 09:38, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

quoi is one of the little function words. These little function words are complex and difficult to describe and define. Quoi offers a lot of different meanings, nuances, and so on. It can also mean (under certain circumstances): kind of, sort of, pretty much, you know what I mean, in short, in other words, reason, no more to say. I think I’ve said it before, the little function words present the greatest difficulty in learning any language. —Stephen ^(Talk) 21:29, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Yes, but I still think that it’s a worthwhile endeavour to present the complete picture of such basic terms, even if it’s time‐consuming or difficult. We can use one‐word definitions since they are technically correct, but they can also lead to accidents. In fact, for a long time we simply defined quoi with what, which is true but also misleading, since what is both a nominative and oblique pronoun, whereas quoi can only be used obliquely, so I added a ‘note’ in the one‐word definition. --Romanophile ♞ (contributions) 01:14, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Well, it would take a lot of work to fully describe and define quoi. I doubt that I would do it even if I did French entries. Since I don’t do French, you might be able to talk someone into fleshing it out some more, but I don’t have a suggestion as to who would agree to do it. I don’t know of any dictionary that does that. It’s more of a job for a grammar book. If we did it, all of the little function words would go from being dictionary entries to being lengthy encyclopedic articles. —Stephen ^(Talk) 03:43, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

It is an elliptical usage of quoi in French. It is both an exclamation and a question. One can use either an exclamation mark or a question mark. Here, it is used to show an astonishment and to get an answer. One could explicitly states the sentence as follows: Quoi, [que dites vous mon] cher monsieur[, est-ce bien cela que vous pensez] ?

Puzzle Museum - unidentified scripts

I was looking at this interesting Puzzle Museum site, where they need help in identifying some scripts. Can anyone work them out? The puzzle cigar case [2] looks like Arabic (it's upside-down in the picture!); and then there's this one [3], which reminds me of Canadian syllabics, but probably isn't (it says "made in England"). Equinox ◑ 04:24, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

For the second one, I agree that they do' look like stylized Canadian Syllabics. I know next to nothing about them, but I would love to know if you find anything out! —JohnC5 05:14, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

The other one is Persian. My Persian is not very good and I'm also not particularly good at reading calligraphy. Therefore I don't understand the words in the upper oval. Below it there's the number 1337, which is a year. However, the question is whether it is the religious Islamic year or the Persian Islamic year. I strongly suspect the latter. In that case it would be 1956, and the Tuman would be from 1954, not 1916. In the lower oval, if I read correctly, it says عمر مولا or something like that, which is also beyond me. (The former word could be the name Omar, but that's a very rare name in Iran, since Shiites hate the Caliph Omar. It could be a Sunni, though.) The only thing I'm pretty sure about is that the lower line says "Hamedan, Iran". -- But one of our Persian guys should be able to clarify all of this in a second. Kolmiel (talk) 21:57, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Hmm... This is really interesting. I can't let it go. Now, the upper line might be a transcription of something English, namely Rainbow Offer or Rainbow Affair or something like that. We should really ask someone about this. Kolmiel (talk) 22:28, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Yes, it is in Persian script. The person on the coin is apparently Ahmad Shah Qajar, and note that the year 1335 on the coin is in lunar Hijri (AH; Islamic calendar, common in Muslim world) not Solar Hijri which is more common in Iran. The writing (with letter by letter transliteration) is as follows:

The star: (written upside down)

عمر مولا `mr mwl´

همدان ایران hmd´n ´yr´n

The coin:

۱۳۳۵ 1335

Bottom: (written upside down)

رین بوافس ryn bw´fs (there may be a space after w which is hard to recognize)

۱۳۳۷ 1337

Judging by the shape of the star, writing upside down may have been intentional. I couldn't understand the sense of last words, I tried to read it in various ways. It's not English, but maybe it's French? French was common among the educated people in Qajar Persia. The writing in the star is probably "Omar Mowla; Hamadan, Iran", Omar Mowla can be a name, but "Omar" is not a common given name in Iran at all (at least now). Also I think that's not a common way of writing ر (r) in Nastaliq, it looks like ل (l) to me, but the writing wouldn't make sense in that case. --Z 18:45, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Okay, so the year is lunar. I was mistaken about that. For the rest I was better than I'd thought. I'm glad :) So you read the last letter of the strange phrase as "sin". Okay. I had also thought about French, but that seems to be even stranger. You would rule out Rainbow? Kolmiel (talk) 19:47, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

It can't be Azerbaijani or some minority language, can it? I mean would it have been normal to write in such a language on a cigar box? Kolmiel (talk) 20:00, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Yes, that's a common way of writing س (sin). I think Rainbow can be a possibility, at first thought, I would read the phrase as Rainbow Office. There has been a tendency for not using the letters waw, alif, and ya' for any short vowel in transliteration back then (in recent decades, as modern Persian phonology [of Iran] is going more and more toward a qualitative system rather than the older quantitative system, it's the opposite, so these letters are used more frequently in transliteration now). I don't know much Azeri, but it doesn't look like Azeri or other regional languages, it looks like a Western trade name or something (also consider Russian and German). --Z 08:15, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks again! So let's summarize the fruits of our efforts, chiefly Z's of course: 1.) The years 1335 (on the coin) and 1337 (on the box) are according to the lunar Islamic calendar, like the museum correctly said). 2.) The first oval says "Hamedan, Iran" and possibly the name "Omar Mowla", which latter is only a bit doubtful since it would not have been a very common name and the script is also somewhat strange. 3.) The other oval has a phrase in a non-Persian, probably western language (in transcription), which might possibly mean Rainbow Office (whatever sense that makes).

"victory" in Phoenician

• What is the translation of the English noun "victory" (or its synonym, "triumph") in Phoenician? The closest that I could find from online English-Phoenician dictionaries is the Phoenician verb "𐤍𐤑𐤓"/"NṠR"/"naṡar" (written here left-to-right, as nun-tsade-resh), corresponding to the English verb "triumph." [4] [5] NicoleSharpRFS (talk) 02:28, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
  • I can only guess, unfortunately; but there may quite probably have been a noun with the same consonant spelling. Compare Arabic نصر, which is both a verb (naṣar) and a noun (naṣr). Kolmiel (talk) 18:40, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
  • My best guess would be 𐤍𐤑𐤇𐤍 (nṣḥn), based on Hebrew נִצָּחוֹן. But with ancient languages, you just gotta go with what's attested. If there is no attested Phoenician word for "victory", then you're out of luck. --WikiTiki89 18:56, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Those both sound like good assumptions. Hebrew is the closest-related living language to Phoenician, and according to Wikipedia, the only other official member of the Canaanite language family. However, the verbal form in Hebrew is nun-tsade-heth versus Phoenician's nun-tsade-resh (with the nominal form in Hebrew being nun-tsade-heth-waw-nun). A comparison with translations in Ugaritic (ISO 639-3 UGA) and Aramaic (ISO 639-3 ARC) of the broader Northwest Semitic family to see if they also use nun (𐎐) for nominal suffixes may be helpful if possible. I am not a professional linguist though, so I am mostly just theorizing ad hoc on what the noun might be. NicoleSharpRFS (talk) 01:32, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
  • PS: I do not know if Phoenician is supposed to be spelled left-to-right or right-to-left? Unlike Hebrew, I see primarily left-to-right spelling online, but the Wikipedia page for Phoenician script states that it is supposed to be spelled right-to-left. Or perhaps the script is boustrophedonic? NicoleSharpRFS (talk) 01:32, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Phoenician was written from right to left. I don’t know what Phoenician you have seen that runs left to right, but that would be incorrect. If the page uses old Phoenician fonts (pre-Unicode), those fonts do not contain the technology that permits right-to-left, and they require treatment by a special program that automatically reverses the letters. The script direction in Unicode fonts is built into the font.

Klingon and Sanskrit to English, from The Big Bang Theory

The Sanskrit is misspelled so that an American can pronounce it better. Ahm looks like अहम् (aham, “I, 1st-person pronoun”), and asman must be अस्मान् (asmān, “us, accusative”). But I can’t figure out matey-bee or ta-teyva. —Stephen ^(Talk) 11:39, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

مَنَارَة (manāra) is the exact cognate of the Hebrew word and the word used in Arabic translations of the Bible. However, the Arabic Wikipedia calls it مينوراه (mēnōrāh) and منوراه (minōrāh), which are just transliterations of the Hebrew word. --WikiTiki89 20:29, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Ambos ganaron la admisión a la misma universidad. Sahil recibió una beca, pero Raju pagó la matrícula completa. Sahil trabajaba y estudiaba muy duro durante sus años universitarios. Por otro lado, Raju pasaba el tiempo haciendo deporte, visitando a los amigos, y yendo a fiestas. Al final, cuando las calificaciones finales fueron entregados, Sahil había obtenido las calificaciones más altas en todos sus cursos de la universidad, mientras que Raju apenas aprobó sus cursos.

@Donnanz surlukt, muggbelegg. Seems to be some kind of growth or mold, but maybe it's more specific? —CodeCat 19:07, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

• surlukt is usually separable, see sur and lukt. Probably a sour smell or odour.

muggbelegg: Haugen has mugg as mildew or mould, and belegg (similar to German Belag) as coating or covering. You can also look here [7] and here [8]. Look at sense III in the latter. Probably a coating of mould. DonnanZ (talk) 20:15, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

@Donnanz Thank you? Is surlukt perhaps used as a rare/dialectal (this term is from northern Norway) name for mildew? —CodeCat 20:28, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

I don't think so, it could be the smell of the mildew. Incidentally surlukt can be found in Swedish too [9], once again usually two words. DonnanZ (talk) 20:46, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

'En dépit de la multiplicité des lectures possibles et des identités informelles, ce territoire est devenu dans le champ politique un lieu d'une grande limpidité historique, sur lequel le temps n'aurait fait que répartir, une fois pour toutes serait-t-on tenté de dire, trois couleurs primairs, trois ethnies primordiales: des Bachkirs, des Russes et des Tatars.'

In spite of the many possible interpretations and informal identities, this territory has become, in the political field, a place of great historic clarity, on which time would only have distributed, once and for all one might be tempted to say, three primary colours, three essential ethnicities: Bashkirs, Russians, and Tatars. Kolmiel (talk) 17:44, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

I'll also try Dutch: Ondanks de vele mogelijke interpretaties en informele identiteiten is dit gebied - op politiek vlak - een regio van grote historische helderheid geworden, waarin de tijd - eens en voor altijd, mag men verleid worden te zeggen - alleen drie hoofdkleuren zou hebben verdeeld, drie principale etnische groepen: Basjkieren, Russen en Tataren. Kolmiel (talk) 17:55, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you so much! Could you explain how French use and form constructions like '-t-on'? Also, in this particular context, which you could not have known, I think primordiales is best translated as 'primordial' or 'oer-' (etniciteiten). Thanks again! 2001:1C02:1907:9500:E0F0:891D:251:5B2B 20:02, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Does it really say "serait-t-on"? The correct spelling is "serait-on". The -t- would only be used if the verb didn't already have a -t, as in "a-t-on". Now, "serait" is the conditional form of "être". It means "(he) would be", "(hij) zou zijn". And "on" is the same thing as Dutch "men". (But I suppose you know that.) If your question aims at when exactly to say "serait-on" instead of "on serait", then I think you should check a grammar. The phenomenon is called "inversion". (Inversion happens all the time in Dutch: ik ga nu weg → nu ga ik weg. The French construction is the same, just much less frequent. Don't be bothered by the hyphen.) Kolmiel (talk) 20:49, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi, yes it really says "serait-t-on", a Google search shows this is quite common. I can read some French, but I have difficulties with these constructions. Is it different than simply "serait-on"? 2001:1C02:1907:9500:E847:475:A61B:FDD5 19:24, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Hebrew to English

I wish to know what the term 'meulah' (a hebrew term written in english)', translates to in actual English please. I suspect it means 'virtuous' but I'm not sure. As used in this site http://homedir.jct.ac.il/~green/kook-solov.html

It is the feminine form of "wonderful", spelled מעולה. --WikiTiki89 23:38, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. Can 'meulah' have different meanings in different contexts? I found this page, (Search for a pdf under 'the attitude towards democracy in medieval jewish philosophy'), with this except... 'virtuous state (medina meulah)'

Here is an actual link to the pdf, which I didn't think I could post in the above line.. http://jcpa.org/wp-content/uploads/1993/04/attitudes-towards-democracy.pdf

Sorry to be a nuisance, but it just passed through my mind that the original document linked to in my first request, might be an English translation from a Yiddish term? Any thoughts anyone, please

No, it's Hebrew. It literally means "raised up" or "praised", but the dictionary definition given by Morfix is "excellent, terrific, wonderful". Don't forget that this is medieval Hebrew, so the precise definitions of terminology are much less certain. Feel free to interpret it however you want. --WikiTiki89 00:44, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Oh and after looking at your first link, teshuvah meulah definitely means something like "higher teshuvah" like a higher level of repentance. --WikiTiki89 01:01, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

It's Hebrew. Of course anything that's Hebrew can also be Yiddish, but I don't think that's the case here. --WikiTiki89 00:46, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

ᎠᏑᎶ (asulo, “pants”)

ᎠᏆᏤᎵ (aquatseli, “my”)

ᎠᏯᎠ (ayaa, “in, inside”)

That would be rather literal. More likely, one would use the following construction:

ᎬᏟ ᎠᏑᎶ ᏗᏜ (gvtli asulo didla)

(where ᏗᏜ (didla, “toward”))

hummina hummina is something that w:Jackie Gleason used to say in the sitcom "The Honeymooners". Cherokee does not have double consonants, since the writing system is a syllabary and every letter except Ꮝ (s) includes a vowel. It is impossible to write "mm" in Cherokee, and there is nothing Cherokee in "hummina hummina ha wa". —Stephen ^(Talk) 21:18, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

English to Central Alaskan Yupik

• What is the Central Alaskan Yupik (the most populous official language of Alaska, ISO 639-3 ESU) translation for "State of Alaska"? Nicole Sharp (talk) 21:47, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
• (Crossposted from "wikipedia:talk:Alaska#translations.") Nicole Sharp (talk) 21:49, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
• The best I could find on Google is translations for "Alaska resident" (Alaska-rmiu cucukliryugngalria) and "state constitution" (state-am alerquutain tusnganrit): http://elections.alaska.gov/doc/forms/B19.pdf. It looks like "Alaska" and "State" are just borrowed from English, but I do not have any familiarity with the grammar to figure a correct translation for "State of Alaska." Nicole Sharp (talk) 00:56, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
  • The document linked above would make a nice appendiced glossary on Wiktionary I think. As a USA government publication, it should be able to be copied into Wiktionary free of copyright, yes? Nicole Sharp (talk) 01:02, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
  • I found some more relevant translations on page 54 that I missed. "State of Alaska Official Ballot" is "Alaska-mi cucuklircuun kalikaq" and "Alaska State Senator District" is "Alaska-mi State Senator-aarkaq District." So I would guess "State of Alaska" to be either "Alaska-mi" or just "Alaska"? There does seem to be an inordinate number of English-language borrowings in the document's translations though. Nicole Sharp (talk) 01:22, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

• A Central Alaskan Yupik translation of "United States of America" would be nice as well. Nicole Sharp (talk) 23:10, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
  • Apparently "United States Senator" is just "United States Senator-aarkaq," so it would seem that "United States" translates as "United States"? Nicole Sharp (talk) 01:22, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
  • The closest language to Yupik that I could find with a Wiktionary or Wikipedia is Inupiat (http://ik.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_of_America), which lists the translation of "United States of America" in Inupiat as "(United States of America suli) Tannapta nunaŋat". According to "Appendix:Eskimo-Aleut basic vocabulary," "suli" means "still/also/more," which I assume in context translates as "also known as." "Alaska" is listed as "Alaska (suli Alaskaq)" in Inupiat. Based on that, I would assume that the Central Yupik borrowings of "United States" and "Alaska" are correct translations, though it would still be nice to see translations for the full names. Nicole Sharp (talk) 01:50, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

• Alaska-mi is the localis case of Alaska ("in Alaska"). I only see two requests: Alaska and United States of America, so I’ll only do those.

  Alaska = Talliquq

  United States = Ami'ulikaq

  However, since most Yupiaq also speak English, it may be that Alaska and United States are preferred (especially in some instances). —Stephen ^(Talk) 12:49, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

  • Would "Ami'ulikaq" translate both as the "United States of America" as well as the "United States?" Likewise, would "Talliquq" translate both as "Alaska" and as the "State of Alaska?" Nicole Sharp (talk) 16:55, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
    • Yes, Ami'ulikaq is United States, U.S., USA, United States of America, and so on. Talliquq is Alaska, State of Alaska, the Alaskan Peninsula. Literally, Talliquq means seal flipper, and Ami'ulikaq is a transliteration of America. —Stephen ^(Talk) 01:41, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
      • In that case, what about conflation of Ami'ulikaq with "America" and "Americas" (the landmass containing both North America and South America)? Nicole Sharp (talk) 03:45, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
        • The Yup'ik people are not much concerned with South America. Almost always when they hear the word America used, it means the United States. I don't think I have ever seen South America expressed in Yup'ik. And certainly, the plurality of the Americans is an English thing. Most non-Americans consider America, in the sense of North America and South America, as singular. —Stephen ^(Talk) 18:21, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
        • I'll take your word for it, but I do find the concept odd that Central-Yupik-speakers can't differentiate between the American landmass (America), the North American continent (North America), and the United States of America (USA). Wikipedia states that there are bilingual schools taught in both English and Central Yupik, so I would think that even if separate terms for different parts of America didn't originally exist, something would have been coined between the University of Alaska Native Language Center and the Alaska Department of Education to be able to teach geography in Central Yupik. Nicole Sharp (talk) 17:06, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
          • But they don't need a specific term to do that. They treat these things like other Native American languages do when the subject is not in or near their tribal area. Instead of using a standardized term or proper noun, they just describe it ... like "the land that is set off in the south." In English, the Civil War is important to us, so we have a proper noun for it ... but Native Americans don't care about it and they just say "when the Americans fought each other". Or I should say that some people would or could say that, while someone else would say it differently. Since it's only a description, each person who finds himself needing to say it will make up his own description, and so there could be any number of ways to say it. If they find themselves in the unusual situation of needed a standard way to say something that is foreign to their culture, such as South America, they are probably in a place where English is needed, such as in college, and then they'll just say it in English. In their homes, they have no need to talk about South America, and if it does come up once or twice in a lifetime, they just describe it.
          • Most subjects taught or discussed in Yup'ik at the University of Alaska will be things that pertain to the Yup'ik people, including geography (Alaskan villages, Alaskan rivers, Alaskan mountains, the bays and seas around Alaska, etc.). I don't remember the specifics of the bilingual courses in Alaskan schools, but as far as I know, none of them split the day up 50/50 and teach four hours in Yup'ik, then the same material over again for four hours in English, from kindergarten through college. Instead, if I remember right, they teach Yup'ik-speaking children strictly in Yup'ik for a couple of years, then begin adding in some courses in English, and then teach mostly in English from something like the fourth grade, with some Yup'ik courses made available in certain subjects that pertain to the culture. So they do not have a need to have precise terms in Yup'ik for everything in English. If they had their own country where Yup'ik was the only language most people used and the language of education, business, and so on, as is the case with Spanish, Vietnamese, Hindi, Arabic, and so on, then yes, they would need all sorts of special terms for world geography, chemistry, nuclear physics, civil engineering, and so on. But that's not the case, their language can only be used for tribal matters, Yup'ik culture, Yup'ik geography. It's sad and it's no fault of theirs, but it's reality for the few Native American languages that are still spoken. —Stephen ^(Talk) 03:08, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
          • Thank you very much for that explanation. It is very informative! I am so used to the idea of having proper nouns, I did not think of the cultural differences that might use descriptions instead of precise terms. I do remember running across an article by the translation team that created the first election ballots in Central Yupik, that a lot of the language used to translate English legal terms was very descriptive, to the point of being almost insulting, since without one-to-one translations, each term had to be lengthily explained.

Spanish to English

• República Oriental del Uruguay. This is a double-crosspost for the discussions at "talk:Uruguay#official name" and "wikipedia:talk:Uruguay#translation of the official name." Wikipedia is probably the best place to provide any input on changing the currently-provided translation (which seems to have been copied from Wikipedia to Wiktionary at "Uruguay." Nicole Sharp (talk) 23:03, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
• @User:Nicole Sharp This is actually the first time, I believe, answering a translation request. The name means república oriental del Uruguay, which means "Eastern Republic of Uruguay". But to be more literal, "Oriental Republic of Uruguay". See wikipedia:en:Uruguay. How did I do? Philmonte101 (talk) 00:01, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Yeah, I posted my translation to the Wikipedia talkpage as the "Eastern Republic of the Uruguay," since "oriental" meaning "eastern" is fairly obsolete in English, and confusing from its common usage to mean "Asian." Counting from Wikipedia, that puts three votes to one so far on changing the translation listed on Wikipedia and Wiktionary from "Oriental Republic" to "Eastern Republic." I think the definite article should be left in as well, to emphasize that the country is not a republic of eastern Uruguay, but a republic that is east of the Uruguay (River). However, a written citation for an English translation would be nice. I couldn't find anything official from the government of Uruguay in English (the only usage in English I could find was an automated translation from Google Translate). Nicole Sharp (talk) 00:18, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
    • I have never heard of anybody using "Eastern Republic of Uruguay." It sounds funny now that I see it. I have always known the country as either Uruguay or the Oriental Republic of Uruguay. That's how we learned it in high school and college. Spanish has words for the cardinal directions similar to the English: norte, sur, este, oeste; and sometimes Spanish uses the Latinate terms septentrional, meridional, oriental, occidental (very formal, technical, poetic). If you say "Eastern Republic", it makes you wonder where the "Western Republic" is, since eastern is a common English word and it goes together with western. "Oriental Republic", on the other hand, does not imply the existence of an "Occidental Republic". Oriental Republic of Uruguay is how I've known it for 55 years, but it might have changed in the meantime. Maybe people are saying "Eastern Republic" these days. —Stephen ^(Talk) 02:00, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
      • See also the citations provided on the Wikipedia talkpage above. Apparently, "Oriental Republic" is only used in USA publications, but "Eastern Republic" is what is used internationally by the United Nations. I personally would go with what the United Nations uses, but I do think we need more citations and discussion before changing the Wikipedia (and Wiktionary) translations given as Oriental to Eastern.

Latin to English

“In Yemen colitur iisdem hortis cum Coffea. Stipitibus plantatur. Arabes folia viridia avide edunt, multum eorum vires venditantes, qui copiosius comederit, vel totam vigilet noctem: asseverant quoque pestem ea loca non intrare ubi hæc colitur arbor:” This is quoted from Forkskål’s Flora Ægypt. Arab. in the entry for قَاتٌ (qātun) in Lane's Lexicon. --WikiTiki89 18:49, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

In Yemen it is cultivated in the same gardens as coffee. It is planted using stakes. The Arabs eat the verdant leaves eagerly, many of them traders; those who more copiously chew them would even remain awake all night long: they also earnestly see to it that no pest enters those places where this tree is cultivated. Quick translation so a tad sloppy, but should give you the gist of it. — Kleio (t · c) 19:17, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

I also find this interesting: so thanks a lot! I wonder, however, if multum eorum vires venditantes is translated correctly? Not that I'd be able to give a better translation, I just don't understand how it could mean "many of them traders". Kolmiel (talk) 22:04, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

If it read multi eorum viri venditantes I'd get it. Kolmiel (talk) 22:07, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

I suspect that it means something like "they offer a lot of it for sale", or "they offer a lot to buy it", or maybe "they sell a lot of their [physical] strength to it." But as I said, I can't really make sense of it. Kolmiel (talk) 22:13, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

You're right, just had another look and I very much did mistranslate that part, tad embarrassing. The use of venditantes is bothering me; it seems to go with Arabes, so they are venditantes much of their energy (multum eorum vires) in the context of eating the folia viridia. What exactly that would translate to here I am not 100% sure, as it seems weird that it should mean sell here (yielding what you suggested, selling [devoting?] a lot of their energy/strength to it) because multum eorum vires seems to be the object of venditantes, but the other meanings of vendito don't really fit either. — Kleio (t · c) 13:47, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

And besides, Khat is a stimulant, it makes more sense that it should read that they derive their energy from it, not devote to it. — Kleio (t · c) 13:52, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, it's a stimulant but also kind of a "chill out drug" in Yemen. And particularly if they stay up all night, they might be considered to actually lose strength. But anyway, thanks for having another look at it! Kolmiel (talk) 14:42, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

I hope someone who is more advanced in their Latin studies could untangle this for us, because it's kinda bothering me now. Neo-Latin is supposed to be relatively easy, but this is just confusing to me. — Kleio (t · c) 15:10, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

@Metaknowledge. --WikiTiki89 15:18, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

@Wikitiki89, KIeio, Kolmiel: Here, eorum must refer to the folia and venditantes to the Arabes, so the beginning of that sentence should be translated "Arabs eat the green leaves voraciously, commending their potency greatly". Kleio's translation is otherwise essentially correct. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 18:58, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

That makes abundant sense. Thanks for clearing that up! — Kleio (t · c) 19:16, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Could someone please provide a translation of the quotation here? @Vorziblix —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 02:25, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

@Metaknowledge: Here is a very rough unrefined translation: "If someone udavlenina - or beast's blood - not knowing how it died - or sacrificed what without misery eats - should fast for 12 weeks". I probably got some details wrong; and "eats" should probably come near the beginning "if someone eats udavlenina", but I left it where it appears in the original just in case that's not the right interpretation. --WikiTiki89 16:57, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

@Metaknowledge: Now if I understood it correctly, here is a better translation: "If whosoever without dire need eats strangled meat, or beast's blood, or that which he knows not how it died, or that which was sacrificed, let him fast for 12 days." I've also pinged people on the talk page of the word to check it. --WikiTiki89 15:03, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

English to Chamorro: Territory of Guam

• Looking for the endonymous (Chamorro, CH) translation for "Territory of Guam." There may be an error in the translation for "Guam" here on English Wiktionary: "Talk:Guåhan#error." Nicole Sharp (talk) 22:23, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
• Also, "United States of America" in Chamorro. I can only find "Estados Unidos" ("United States") in Chamorro. Nicole Sharp (talk) 22:27, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
  • English Wiktionary here lists a spelling of Chamorro Estados Unidos as "Estådos Unidos" instead. However, there do not seem to be any results on Chamorro Wikipedia for "Estådos Unidos," only for Estados Unidos, so I would assume that the nondiacriticized spelling is the more common one. "Amerika" is the Chamorro translation of "America" provided on Chamorro Wikipedia, which is also in Samoan (Iunaite Sitete o Amerika), so I would guess Chamorro is something like "Estados Unidos [of] Amerika." Unfortunately, Chamorro Wiktionary is closed, and I can't seem to find a listing for "of" when googling for Chamorro dictionaries. I personally do not know anything about Nuclear Malayo-Polynesian grammars, so I am just guessing. Nicole Sharp (talk) 23:21, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Not sure if this helps either, but "Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands" in Chamorro is "Sankattan Siha Na Islas Mariånas." Best that I can tell from http://www.chamoru.info/dictionary/ , is that translates something like [locative]+kattan [plural] [of] [Mariana Islands]. Chamorro "na" seems to translate as something similar to English "of," but Wiktionary doesn't have an entry. Nicole Sharp (talk) 23:21, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

• • • Guam = Guåhån
    • United States of America = Estados Unidos
    • na is a conjunctive particle that connects an attributive adjective to a noun.
    • Chamorro does not have a word that corresponds to "of". Many languages have no "of".

The two are OK if used just for translations, but they don’t sound very cool. First, one doesn’t commonly say 時間の終わりまで. If you mean “until you die”, just say 死ぬまで. Second, 今日と同じように生きろ/生きよ sounds like there is no improvement. I’m not sure why he needs a translation. If he actually plans to tattoo it, he has to be very careful to choose the coolest word. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 15:32, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

It's an Arabic greeting for any annual holiday or occasion roughly meaning "may you be well [on this occasion] every year". --WikiTiki89 20:50, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Yes. It's particularly an Islamic greeting, used on the two religious holidays. It's now also used a lot for birthdays and other things, also by non-Muslims (but Wikitiki probably had that covered with "annual occasions").

@Wikitiki89: What's interesting is that, as often as I've heard this, I've never really thought about the precise meaning. Admittedly, I had in mind "May you be well all year", but your translation is the correct one. At least, many Arabs apparently think the same thing as there are 60,000 hits for "kull al-‘ām". Cheers. Kolmiel (talk) 16:35, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

@Kolmiel: To be honest, I googled around a little bit to find the correct interpretation. At first I thought it was a New Year's greeting. --WikiTiki89 17:09, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

@Wikitiki89: Yes, and it is used that way, too. And you'll come across it most often with birthdays since they happen all the time. So that's where a new year of your life starts. But as far as know it's originally religious. Kolmiel (talk) 17:51, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

@Romanophile, Stephen G. Brown: I think the “Aethiopum vitae” bit is pretty solid, but rather than “pertinent”, I’d write pretiandae or impretiabiles. To capture the emphasis of the original English, I’d go for the arrangement “pretiandae Aethiopum vitae” / “impretiabiles Aethiopum vitae”. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 18:12, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

I don't feel a connection to you in the way that you say, but I would be willing to go on a date and see what happens, no promises or anything, just to get to know each other. Of course if you don't want to because I am not promising you anything I completely understand. Anyways, I leave it up to you, but like I said before a date doesn't mean anything, just to get to know each other better.

Sana karşı anlattığın biçimde bir bağlılık duymasam da bir şey için söz veremesem de yine de seninle çıkmaya, birbirimizi tanımaya ve neler olabileceğini görmeye istekliyim.

But i loved you

Mais je t'aimais. Or: Mais je t'ai aimé. (Or instead of the latter: Mais je t'ai aimée, if you say it to a female person).

Both ways are fine, I think. I don't know which one would be better. (I've never fully understood the difference between imperfect and perfect in Romance languages.) Kolmiel (talk) 19:22, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

To a male or to a female person if your love just ended/broke: Mais je t'aimais.

To a female person if your love ended already back in the past and life went on already since then: Mais je t'ai aimée.

To a male person if your love ended already back in the past and life went on already since then: Mais je t'ai aimé.

If you want to lean towards that love is now gone and life goes on: Mais je t'ai aimée (Mais je t'ai aimé),

If I ever decide to give up on you, understand how much that took out of me. I’m the type to give endless chances, Always have your back even when you’re wrong & truly accept you for who you are. When the rest of the world doesn’t want you. I WILL. So if I decide to give up on you, understand it took everything I had left inside of me to leave you alone because if I love you & care for you, There Isn’t anything on the planet I wouldn’t do for you.

Если я когда-нибудь решаю отказаться от тебя, ты должна понять, насколько трудно для меня. Это моя природа, что я даю бесконечные шансы, и я всегда поддерживаю тебя, даже когда ты не права, и я действительно принимаю тебя за то, кто ты есть. Когда весь остальной мир тебя не хочет, а я хочу. Так что если я решу отказаться от тебя, ты должна понимать, что это требовало все мои силы, чтобы оставить тебя в покое, потому что если я тебя люблю и заботиться о тебе, нет ничего на земле, что я бы не сделал для тебя. (Jesli ja kogda-nibudʹ rešaju otkazatʹsja ot tebja, ty dolžna ponjatʹ, naskolʹko trudno dlja menja.

Kogda vesʹ ostalʹnoj mir tebja ne xočet, a ja xoču. Tak što jesli ja rešu otkazatʹsja ot tebja, ty dolžna ponimatʹ, što eto trebovalo vse moi sily, štoby ostavitʹ tebja v pokoje, potomu što jesli ja tebja ljublju i zabotitʹsja o tebe, net ničevo na zemle, što ja by ne sdelal dlja tebja.)

You might be right, but I see both ways being used. There is a little difference. I might say, "yo sin ti estoy aburrido", and that seems right. But "yo sin ti soy como un cantante sin canción" doesn't sound right to me. Well, I guess that could be okay, too. I think it depends on whether you feel that "yo sin ti" is a noun phrase like "cantante sin canción", which is how I read it; or as a pronoun phrase which could be "sin ti yo soy como un cantante sin canción". So I'm not sure. —Stephen ^(Talk) 17:13, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

@kc_kennylau What'll you say? – AWESOME meeos ！ ＊ （「欺负」我） 18:50, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

@Awesomemeeos:

1. 無聊／无聊 (mou4 liu4) does mean "bored" but that is in Mandarin. In Cantonese, it means "to fool around" instead. Subtle differences. You would need to say 悶／闷 (mun6) instead for "bored".
2. 要 (jiu3) is a transitive verb, so 我唔想要嘅 means "... which I do not want" and is not a complete sentence.
3. 尊敬 (zyun1 ging3) is slightly heavier than 尊重 (zyun1 zung6), so use 尊重 (zyun1 zung6) instead.
4. We don't say 像 (zoeng6); that is Mandarin; we say 好似 (hou2 ci5) or 就好似 (zau6 hou2 ci5) instead, and we add 咁樣／咁样 (gam2 jeong2) afterwards because 我尊敬你 is not a noun but a clause.
5. 喇 (laa3) is the wrong word there.
6. Your translation would mean "goodbye, (the things) which I do not want; Honour me, as I honour you already. Alright, I was fooling around."

Since the original English is messy, I modified it.

拜拜，我唔想咁樣。好似我尊重你咁樣尊重我啦！好啦，我好悶。 [Cantonese, trad.]

Yes, I don't have any feel for registers. I just wanted to be sure not to use a pronoun that would be insulting. That's why I advised doublechecking by a native speaker. But usually nobody will do Korean translations here unless I give it a try. And after all, part of the translation admits that he does not know Korean, so it should not come as a surprise to them that there are big mistakes. —Stephen ^(Talk) 17:04, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Hola,

Tener estas clases tardías realmente me libera mucho de tiempo, así que he estado explorando la ciudad con mi nueva amiga, Fátima. Fátima es una nativa, lo que significa que ella sabe todo sobre la ciudad y los mejores lugares para visitar. Fátima tiene 16 años, igual que yo. Nació aquí en España y tiene muchos primos aquí. En realidad, estoy cenando con su familia esta noche. De todos modos, me tengo que ir a la cama. Hasta pronto.

@Suzukaze-c, Awesomemeeos: Traditional Chinese linguistics divide morphemes into 6 categories: 主語／主语 (zhǔyǔ, “subject”), 謂語／谓语 (wèiyǔ, “predicate”), 賓語／宾语 (bīnyǔ, “object”), 定語／定语 (dìngyǔ, “modifier (usually adjectives)”), 狀語／状语 (zhuàngyǔ, “adverbial modifier”), 補語／补语 (bǔyǔ, “complement”) (note that 動詞／动词 (dòngcí, “verb”) is not here). "动补结构" would mean "verb-complement structures". My translation is given below:

Multi-syllabic entries are written together according to words (詞語／词语 (cíyǔ)). No matter if it comprises just words or phrases, as long as the structure can have other components inserted in the middle, verbs and objects are to be separated with "＝", while verbs and their complements are to be separated with "∥".

The transcription is according to approximate pronunciation, not scientific. With "sweetness" I have assumed you mean "girly", "pretty", "charming".

نقطة ضعفي أني لطيفة

Nuktat duafi anni latifa

Here it would mean more like "kind", "mild", "affectionate". If you're male, you'd have to strike the last letter, i.e. لطيف and "latif".

My sweetness is my weakness.

Oh yes, I know. I wanted to give them in a nonstandard way because I thought the person who asked might find that more helpful. (By the way, in your trancription you'd have to add a -t or -tu to nuqṭa to make it correct. But you're right about ḥulwa; the -u- is more standard than my -e-, i.e. -i-, which is dialetal.) Kolmiel (talk) 20:03, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

@Kolmiel Yes, you have to check the correct transliteration of ة, if it's not at the end of a phrase. That's why I said "semi-automatic". The standard transliteration is always better than non-standard substitutes and this what we should use in Wiktionary. This method is based on Hans Wehr dictionary, the most popular and standard Arabic dictionary. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 21:25, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

@Kolmiel Hey, I didn't mean it to be mentoring, just encouraging. :) I did edit a lot of Arabic entries as well in the past. I just think we should promote the standard transliteration and explain it if it doesn't make sense. We never know the knowledge of users and we'll only make it easier for them if they can verify what we write in dictionaries and there are well-known problems with the non-standard transliterations as they can be misleading and ambiguous, don't you think, e.g. "laṭīfa" vs "latifa" or "ḍuʿfī" vs "duafi"?
