TRANSLATE THE WORD "POWER" INTO GAELIC
 * In Irish Gaelic there are several words for power:
 * • brí indicates strength or force.
 * • neart is more indicative of corporeal strength.
 * • cumhacht means power in a general sense and can also be used for "electrical power".
 * In Scots Gaelic we have:
 * • lùths meaning strength.
 * • spionnadh is similar in meaning.
 * • cumhachd, like cumhacht, is the general word for power.

Surname Suffixes
I am looking for some information regarding surnames suffixes. I am researching "Lazarucz", a Hungarian family surname from Transylvania, Romania; specifically, Mezoband (now Band), near Tirgu Mures. I am wondering if the "ucz" is a suffix on the name "Lazar" or "Lazaru". This was my great grandmothers name. I have seen Lazar as a first name as well as a surname. What can you tell me about this? Thank you for your help.

English to Khmer Script
I just got back from traveling across SE Asia for 3 months last year. Had an amazing time! Didn't have the $$ to get some ink done while we were there. Was wondering if someone might be able to to translate a few phrases from English into Khmer Script please? I know there may not be an exact literal translation, but hopefully it will be close.

Below are a few phrases that I'm thinking of. Thank you so much for your time.

Jason

Our Love is Our Strength

Love Passion Family

translate name for tatoo "UTSAV"
hey i need to know how the name "UTSAV" is spelled in japanese, russian, chinese, hebrew, arabic, latin, korean

"UTSAV" translate this name in japanese, chinese, latin, arabic, hebrew,

zack 02/01/06


 * Nobody can tranlate it unless they know what it is or what it means. What is it, an abbreviation of some sort? —Stephen 12:09, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

UTSAV means a happy occasions, i just want the word to be pronounced the same way in other languages, please do the needful

UTSAV IS A HINDI WORD


 * So you want it to be pronounced like that in each language? Most of the languages cannot have exactly that pronunciation. This is the closest I can do:
 * Japanese: ウツァヴ (utsavu)
 * Arabic: أوتساف (utsaf)
 * Latin: UTSAV
 * Chinese: 烏擦夫 (wūtsāfū) (somebody else can probably do it better in Chinese)
 * Russian: уцав (vide infra !). Bogorm 10:33, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * This word is evidently identical to Sanskrit in the Sanskrit-French dictionary, which I use. It comes from उड्: + सव:. If so, if ts is not pronounced as one consonant, then probably Russian ц is inappropriate - in this case only the corresponding spelling would be утсав. Bogorm 10:33, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

"Do not die wondering" in chinese, either simple or traditional?

English to Chinese
"Do Not Die Wondering"

Either simple or traditional

Sounds like a personal request. Try posting on this forum: http://www.orientaloutpost.com/forum/index.php?c=3 They will translate it for free. You can then create an entry here later if you wish.


 * I'm thinking 不要死不瞑目 might work. It literally means, "Don't die with your eyes not closed."  In other words, if your eyes are open when you die, that means that you still have things that you wanted to accomplish, before you died.  死不瞑目 is an idiom in Chinese.  -- A-cai 14:21, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Moroccan (arabic translation) French?
I am writing a children's book that takes place in Marrakech, Morocco and I am looking fro the vernacular translation for:

"My mother" "My home" "My grandmother" "My father"

Thank you!


 * I'm no expert, but having lived in Morocco I would say ‘walīdatī’ for ‘my mother’ (spelling is difficult, since the vernacular is hardly ever written, but probably وليدتي). For ‘my father’ I'd say ‘walīdī’ (وليدي).  ‘My grandmother’ — ‘zheddatī’ .  I'm not sure which word they would use for ‘home’ in Morocco.  Ƿidsiþ 23:24, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Moroccan Arabic is not my language either, but I would have thought امي (ummi) for ‘my mother’, داري (dari) for ‘my home’, and بوي (bui) for ‘my father’. I agree with (zheddatī) for ‘my grandmother’. But if he’s looking for French as used in Morocco, that’s another story. —Stephen 17:32, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Let me correct the Arabic version Widsith has provided: it's والدتي (wālidati) - my mother and والدي (wālidati) - my father, with the long "a", not "i". The other way to say "my father" is أبي (abi) and "my mother" as Stephen said, امي (ummi). The same spelling أبي may be pronounced as "abuyya" in Eastern Arabic. Not sure, which dialect is بوي (bui). :) --Atitarev 22:05, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm well aware that it's والد and والدة in standard Aranic, but in Morocco they pronounce it with a long "i". Although they may still spell it in the normal way I suppose.  Ƿidsiþ 09:33, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I did not about the Moroccan way. Aren't they shortening everything instead? Thanks for the insight. --Anatoli 09:44, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
