ludhianvi Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 So how about it? If you've got a phrase that you would like translated into english, why not post here. For example, how would you say this word/phrase in this language? All languages allowed. Can you guys post the english below each word if possible. This would help in where the verbs and nouns go in the sentence of a language. I'll start, how do you say ' what's up' in Tamil?' And ' I am great' in Tamil as well Thanks:winky:
ludhianvi Posted October 11, 2008 Author Posted October 11, 2008 ok, how about in Gujarati then? :hmmm: I like to watch cricket
Laaloo Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 ok, how about in Gujarati then? :hmmm: I like to watch cricket Mane Ball Bat jovanu game che! :D
ludhianvi Posted October 11, 2008 Author Posted October 11, 2008 Mane Ball Bat jovanu game che! :D nice, what does jovanu and che mean?
Laaloo Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 nice' date=' what does jovanu and che mean?[/quote'] jovanu = watch che? u just add it at the end of every sentence :D
Ram Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 I'll start, how do you say ' what's up' in Tamil?' And ' I am great' in Tamil as well Unfortunately, I am not sure if there's anything that directly translates into Tamil that kinda mean the same. 'Whats up'?' is I guess 'Epadi irukka?' ( How are you?) 'I am great' is probably 'Naan superr!' ( No, it isnt the Naan that you see in the Hotel Menu...:D).
SachDan Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 ok, how about in Gujarati then? :hmmm: I like to watch cricket In malayalam.. Enikku cricket kaanan eshtamanu :D probably the toughest..isn't it?

This would help in where the verbs and nouns go in the sentence of a language. In malayalam.. Enikku cricket kaanan eshtamanu :D probably the toughest..isn't it? I got the cricket part:tounge_smile: yeah the words are longer. 'Whats up'?' is I guess 'Epadi irukka?' ( How are you?) 'I am great' is probably 'Naan superr!' Nandri, Naan superr Peter Mane Ball Bat jovanu game che! I ball bat watch game che Is 'game' the english word or does it mean something in gujrati?
ludhianvi Posted October 11, 2008 Author Posted October 11, 2008 Punjabi translation nai chaida ? :P yes please:winky: Hey, how about Kannada, you must've picked it up, nah? [edit], ah that's the right one?
Holysmoke Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Mane Ball Bat jovanu game che! :D Mane = Me, to me, etc. Ball bat = english translation jovanu = to watch game = like che = is. So the literal hindi translation of the above gujarati sentence would be mujhe ball-bat dekhna pasand hai.
ludhianvi Posted October 12, 2008 Author Posted October 12, 2008 Mane = Me, to me, etc. Ball bat = english translation jovanu = to watch game = like che = is. So the literal hindi translation of the above gujarati sentence would be mujhe ball-bat dekhna pasand hai. that's awesome holy, very nicely done. How about another one, ' Today, I am going to go out with my friends to the store'
Guest Hiten. Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 that's awesome holy, very nicely done. How about another one, ' Today, I am going to go out with my friends to the store' Aaje oon maara bhaibando saathe dukaan ma jaais Aaje = today oon maara = my, mine bhaibando = friends saathe = with dukaan = store (duh!) ma = to, in jaais = will go Hindi translation will be: Aaj main apne dosto ke saath dukaan mein jaaunga
Laaloo Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Aaje oon maara bhaibando saathe dukaan ma jaais Aaje = today oon maara = my, mine bhaibando = friends saathe = with dukaan = store (duh!) ma = to, in jaais = will go Hindi translation will be: Aaj main apne dosto ke saath dukaan mein jaaunga noob u could have just said "dostaro" instead of bhaibando :D
Holysmoke Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Actually, mitro is the "proper" gujarati word. Today, I am going to go out with my friends to the store' Aaje, hoon maara mitro saathe dukaan javaano chu. Blue Brigade, "will go" is different from "am going to go".. will go is not continuous.. So, Aaje = today hoon = me maara = my mitro = friends saathe = with dukaan = shop javaano = am going to go chu = will Hindi translation = Aaj mein mere doston ke saath dukaan jaane waala hoon.
ludhianvi Posted October 12, 2008 Author Posted October 12, 2008 how come the variation, is blue-brigade talkin slang by using jaais :eyedance: so far I got this : chu =will che= present form past form? Aaje hoon India match juvano chu. Today, I am going to see India's match? :D
Laaloo Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 how come the variation, is blue-brigade talkin slang by using jaais :eyedance: so far I got this : chu =will che= present form past form? Aaje hoon India match juvano chu. Today, I am going to see India's match? :D Aaje mein India-NI match jovano chu :D

Aaje hoon India match juvano chu. Today, I am going to see India's match? :D Blue brigade is saying "I will go", instead of saying "I am going to go" btw, that line is good, except for the apostrophe In gujurati you say you will watch India ni game (India's game) In marathii you say you will watch India chi game (India's game) In hindi you say you will watch India ki game (India's game)
Aditi Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 bhaibando = friends Wow...I haven't heard that word for friends in a long, long time! We say 'dostar' (male friends) or 'bahenpani' (female friends) 'Today, I am going to go out with my friends to the store' A girl would say - "Aaje hu maari bahenpanio saathe dukaane javaani chhu" A guy would say - "Aaje hu maara dostar saathe dukaane javaano chhu" Maybe it's a Kutchi thing......
