Learning is fun and fun could be learning sometime...

I had an idea...

What about giving a word from someones' language and the rest of us can try to give the meaning from their own languages. What do you think of it? Sometime we can give words without telling from which language it is.

If you will like it I can start with giving a word from Arabic...(Salam)..."It is an easy one"

Looking forwrod to know some words from other languages... :lol:

 

[Latoof]

Ok,
Just to make it easy this means.. "Hello" or literary.. "Peace be with you".

So, how can we say "salam", or "Hello" in other languages...French..German...Italian...

It is an interesting thing guys.. come on.. :roll:

 

[Latoof]

I made some searching to know other words from different languages...

:lol:

 

[Latoof]

Hola.. (In spanish)

 

[Latoof]

Salut... (French)

 

[Latoof]

Ciao... (Italian)

 

[Latoof]

Hallo... (German)

 

[Latoof]

I don't speak all these languages, but I went to ask about this word and I got it. More than that, I added some new words to my dictionary.:lol:

What do you think? Tell me your words...

 

[Kid A]

Okay, I hope I've understand what you mean, so I tell you my word, it's easy:

"kaputt"


(it would be great if more people could join this game)

你好:-D

 

[Kid A]

Where's the problem?

 

[ion Joe]

Where's the problem?

What did you mean?

 

[Kid A]

Have you got problems with my word?
Well, I'll try to explain it:

"kaputt" is a german word. You use it, if something has gone to pieces, like a window or glasses or stuff like that.
If you know the English/French/Italien/...-word for "kaputt", just post it.

This is the way I understand the game. Hope it's right...:-?

 

[RonBee]

kaputt -- broken

 

[Kid A]

kaputt -- broken

Exactly!!:multi:

 

[Latoof]

I thought about basic words like greetings... but ..
I get my Arabic equivelant word to kaputt , which is Maksoor.. and it is written like مكسور :lol:

 

[toyie]

Do we only refer to things that are visible to the eyes when we say "kaputt?"
I thought we could also say "kaputt" when something has gone into pieces, like a broken relationship?? So could we say " our relationship has gone "kaputt"?:roll:
