Dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth

Can be simplified to say (if it makes translating easier...???):

Can anyone do this quite quickly?? <3 English to Latin
Please can someone translate "Thank you for teaching me Latin" into Latin?? Yes, I know that I should know it, but the idiom has confused me here :S
 * In Classical Latin, there are no nouns to represent names of languages. Languages were indicated using adverbs, so you'd need to thank someone for teaching you "to write in Latin" or "to speak in Latin" or "to read in Latin". --EncycloPetey 20:02, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * What about 'lingua latina'? That's a noun... —CodeCat 20:38, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * That phrase is exceptionally rare in Classical Latin; it didn't become the norm until the medieval period. It's a description using an adjective and noun, and would have been understood literaaly as "language of the Latin(s)."  It wasn't used as a proper name for the language until much later.  You can also find rare instances of 'lingua Romana', but that's also not the norm. --EncycloPetey 20:44, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I have to respectfully disagree ... lingua Latina shows up already for Latin in Varro and is all over Cicero. The idiom for thanks is the dative with a form of ago + the plural of gratia, for the reason one can append a noun clause introduced by quod. I would render this: tibi gratias ago, quod lingaum Latinam docere (or) docuisse. Salmoneus Aiolides Χαῖρε 20:39, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Gellius' Noctes Atticae is the only work where I've seen the phrase "lingua latina" (in various inflections) appear more than once, and I find it only once in the digitized works of Cicero that I have available (checking nom., gen., and acc. forms). It occurs with roughly the same frequency as "lingua romana" in the collected Classical texts I can search electronically. --EncycloPetey 20:52, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry to have butted in, EncycloPetey, without being on here enough to engage actively. Right now I have to go to bed, but will return to this so we can hash it out. Right now I'll just say that lingua + adj. is common and that Latinus predominates over Romanus, but the usage is most common in marking outthe difference between lingua Graeca and lingua Latina. For a collection of examples, the section of the lemma in Lewis and short is:


 * The tongue or language of a people: lingua Latina, Graeca, Cic. Fin. 1, 3, 10: Graeca et Latina lingua, Varr. R. R. 2, 1, 6: (Massilia) tam procul a Graecorum regionibus, disciplinis linguāque divisa, Cic. Fl. 26, 63: quod quidem Latina lingua sic observat, ut, etc., id. Or. 44, 150: Gallicae linguae scientiam habere, Caes. B. G. 1, 47: qui ipsorum lingua Celtae, nostra Galli, appellantur, id. ib. 1, 1: dissimili linguā, Sall. C. 6, 2: linguā utrāque, i. e. Greek and Latin, Hor. S. 1, 10, 23; so, auctores utriusque linguae, Quint. prooem. 1; 1, 1, 14: Mithridates, cui duas et viginti linguas notas fuisse, id. 11, 2, 50: haud rudis Graecae linguae, Curt. 5, 11, 4; 5, 4, 4; Nep. Milt. 3, 2: Syrus in Tiberim Orontes et linguam et mores vexit, Juv. 3, 63


 * I think I've seen more examples in Cicero (hence my comment above), but there's every chance that I'm dead wrong. I'll look into. Glad to see a pointed philological conversation on this page. Salmoneus Aiolides Χαῖρε 04:12, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

irish gaelic tanslation
Hi

I don't know if you can help me. Please can you tell me the correct translation for

Little great one

In gaelic irish please. Its the meaning of my other halfs name.

Many thanks

Melissa


 * I suppose it could be "amháin iontach agus beag". It doesn’t make much sense to me, I’ve never heard of a name like that. —Stephen (Talk) 07:27, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for the speedy reply :-) My other halfs name is Darren, according to all the naming sites its Gaelic meaning is Little Great One.  I am looking at having this tattooed on me, rather than having Little Great One, i thought if it was in Gaelic translation it would be much better.

Melissa


 * Amháin iontach agus beag would mean "only wonderful and small". "Great" in the sense of "a great man" is mór; cf. Alastar Mór (Alexander the Great). The only way to say "one" in reference to a person is duine, so Duine mór beag would mean "a small (in stature), great (in quality) person". I have no idea who came up with the idea that Darren means "little great one" in any Gaelic language. —Angr 08:52, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

In this post there are links to 3 books on the Panchatantram by Vishnu Sarma.

1. Sanskrit commentary on Pancahtantra 2. Sanskrit text of Panchatantra with Hindi translation by JP Mishra 3. English translation of Panchatantra by AW Ryder

According to Indian tradition, the Panchatantra was written around 200 BCE by Pandit Vishnu Sarma, a sage. However, based as it is on older oral traditions, its antecedents among storytellers probably hark back to the origins of language. One of the most influential Sanskrit contributions to world literature, it is “certainly the most frequently translated literary product of India” and there are over 200 versions in more than 50 languages.

In the Indian tradition, the Panchatantra is a nitisastra, a treatise on political science and human conduct, or niti. It is said that Vishnu Sarma’s objective was to instruct three dull and ignorant princes in the principles of polity, by means of stories. Panchatantra consists of five books, which are called:

1. Mitra Bhedha (The Loss of Friends) 2. Mitra Laabha also called Mitra Samprapti (Gaining Friends) 3. Kakolukiyam (Crows and Owls) 4. Labdhapranasam (Loss Of Gains) 5. Aparikshitakaraka (Ill-Considered Action / Rash deeds)

A part of the body, in English
Once again, I'm asking people to adapt an English definition into an English word. If there is a word for that part of the human body, I don't know it: The portion of skin between the chin and the neck. --Daniel 03:20, 9 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I don’t think we have a formal word for it in English, but I would call it the underchin if I had to refer to it in one word. —Stephen (Talk) 03:52, 9 July 2011 (UTC)


 * "Underchin" works. It even has Google results. Thanks. --Daniel 05:50, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Is the underside of the tongue between the chin and neck not called the " jowels " ? Simon


 * No, the jowls are big, fat cheeks, like the cheeks of a hog. —Stephen (Talk) 12:08, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * jowl can also mean extra fat around the jaws or chin; such as a double chin. BigDom 12:33, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I didn't find anything particularly meaningful and useful about "jowl" meaning "double chin"; but "double chin" is already useful enough. Thanks, to you too. --Daniel 05:50, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Citation: []. --Lo Ximiendo 22:55, 13 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I think it says something like, "How do I want to die? In comfort? Or with the pain of hell?" —Stephen (Talk) 03:53, 14 July 2011 (UTC)


 * 差し上げる can mean to raise something up, but it's also an honorific way of saying to give someone something, in this case, giving the listener their preferred death, so it's more like, "Shall I kill you as you hope to die? Easily?  Or with the pains of hell?"  Transcript (apparently of a game or anime or something) here -- this makes it clear that the speaker of the above utterance is describing how to kill the listener.  -- HTH, Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 02:14, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Please translate this Hawaiian phrase to English
Here it is:

Nāneaikaho'omanwanui.

Thanks to anyone who can help!


 * It seems to be misspelled. For one, it’s not all one word, it needs spaces. The last part, hoʻomanawanui, means patience. Naneaika means different things depending on how you break it into words, such as "nanea i ka". Nanea i ka hoʻomanawanui could mean something like tranquility due to patience. But with all of the obvious mistakes in the spelling, there could be others. Instead of nanea, it could be nana or nāna. Letters or words could have been left out. No telling what it was originally supposed to be. —Stephen (Talk) 12:41, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

I am a songwriter living in Hawai'i and I need a refrain in a particular number of syllables that means something like "You're the woman I will never forget" or "The woman who won't be forgotten" or something like that. The syllables and cadence need to be the same as "ko aloha makamae e 'ipo," which is the line I have been using. It means "Sweetheart you are so precious to me." But I'd rather have the line about never forgetting.

 * Aloha ʻoe, ē kama lei. (I cannot understand your second request...the words make no sense whatsoever to me). —Stephen (Talk) 15:19, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Stephen the translation i had for the first phrase was Nau ko'u aloha (that was for my love is yours) then child - keiki which i would assume i would have written as "Nau ko'u aloha ko'u keiki"? the second phrase was a tattoo i saw that said "desire or reason" which the guy actually put on his arm translated to a language i cant remember but the word in the middle was spelt "kai"


 * The Greek word for "and" is και. "Desire and reason" in Greek could be "επιθυμία και λόγος". The Hawaiian word nau means chew or munch. The word for "yours" is nāu. I’m not sure that "Nāu koʻu aloha koʻu keiki" makes much sense. It looks Anglicized. If this is for a permanent tattoo, you should get more opinions on the translations before you choose one. —Stephen (Talk) 16:25, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello,

I am considering a tattoo. After a very emotionally and physically traumatic time in my life I'd like to have a tattoo of the phrase 'the truth is in the scars'.

I have chosen Aramaic as my language of choice because it was Jesus' native language.

If anyone could help me in translating this phrase into correct, Ancient Aramaic ( better still the Syriac dialect), I would be most appreciative.

Thanks in advance.
