Lao word for pork floss, rousong
According to Wikipedia, pork floss and rousong are English terms for a food/ingredient common in Asia.

Currently we don't seem to have entries for it in any language but even Wikipedia doesn't mention it in Laos yet I ate it in baguettes from the Vientiane bus station almost every day for weeks. I only just today stumbled across the English and Chinese terms for it in Taipei. Now I'd like to know the Lao word for it. &mdash; hippietrail (talk) 10:33, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Because, as Latin used to be in Europe, Sanskrit is taught in high school in India. This is probably homework.

Tatar (?) / Mongolian (?) to English
I've read somewhere that the word adyž in Tatar (what this language is supposed to be exactly, I do not know, but the context was of medieval Mongolians) means sorrow. Is that correct? 83.83.1.229 10:18, 10 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Too many unknowns. Neither Tatar (a Turkic language) nor Mongolian (a Mongolic language) is written in the Roman alphabet, so that is a transliteration...but there are many different transliteration systems, so there is no way to know what the actual spelling is supposed to be. No clue as to whether it’s a verb or a noun. Also, no idea if it’s a word in a modern language or in a medieval language. Modern Mongolian has numerous words for sorrow, but none similar to that. The Modern Tatar word for sorrow is qajhy (in one unspecified transliteration). The closest that I can guess would be Modern Turkish adice, meaning abjectly. —Stephen (Talk) 11:24, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

That's what I feared. I can tell you that is was a noun and that the word was the name of city between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Also, it was supposed to be medieval. I wanted to double check it, because the author that used the word did not specify on his use of 'Tatar'. He does not say whether it's Mongolian or Turkic, but he plays around with those terms. Really annoying. If you cannot help me, I understand. Thank you anyway. 83.83.1.229 11:57, 10 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Modern (Volga) Tatar (Turkic language) for "sorrow" is, Mongolian Cyrillic , , , . Crimean Tatar or alternative romanised (Volga) Tatar is "qayğı", Cyrillic Crimean Tatar is "къайгъы". --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 04:19, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

translate in Spanish
I don't know why you act like I have treated you bad when I am always trying to make you happy! You always say things to me that hurt my feelings and I still treat you kindly and still give you my love. You never think of how you are making me feel or how you are hurting me by the way you act. Its always about you and as long as you are happy! If you really loved me then you would show me and not just say the words when you want something! Stop playing games with me. I am going to think about me and do what makes me happy and if you want to be a part of that then that's fine, but the second you make me feel less than 100%, I will not say a word to you but you will never have the chance to do it again because that will be the end! Its your choice but I will not beg you to be in my life nor will I buy your love ever! I am finished feeling like I am the one you come to only when NO ONE ELSE HAS TIME FOR YOU! You can treat me right or be a man and be honest and let me go!


 * No sé por qué te comportas como si te hubiera tratado mal cuando siempre estoy tratando de hacerte feliz. Siempre dices cosas a mí que me hieren, pero todavía te trato con amabilidad y aún te doy mi amor. Nunca piensas en lo que me haces sentir o sobre cómo me estás haciendo daño por la forma de actuar. ¡Siempre es sólo acerca de ti y tu felicidad! Si realmente me amaras, se me demostrarías a mí y no sólo dirías las palabras cuando quieres algo. Deja de jugar conmigo. Voy a empezar a pensar en mí misma y haré lo que me hace feliz, y si quieres ser parte de eso, entonces eso está bien, pero el momento en que me haces sentir inferior al 100%, no voy a decir ni una palabra para ti, pero nunca tendrás la oportunidad de hacerlo de nuevo, ¡ya que será el final! Es elección tuya, pero no voy a rogarte que estés en mi vida, ni que jamás yo compre tu amor. He terminado sintiendo que soy la persona de que puedes depender sólo cuando NADIE MÁS TIENE TIEMPO PARA TI. Puedes tratarme bien o ser un hombre y ser honesto y ¡dejar que me vaya! —Stephen (Talk) 09:51, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

I'd like to say "Je viendrai si mes intestins se portent mieux". Could it translate as "I'll come if my bowels fare better"? --Fsojic (talk) 19:59, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * If you want to sound like a fantasy novel, you can say that, but a better way would be to use either "feel", "are doing", or just "are". --WikiTiki89 21:43, 18 February 2014 (UTC)


 * We probably wouldn’t say that at all. Usually we would say: "I’ll come if my stomach improves" or "I’ll come if my stomach gets better". We don’t like the word bowels in the literal sense except when talking to a doctor. It’s too personal, so we use stomach as a euphemism for it. —Stephen (Talk) 02:27, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Синтöм горань (from Komi)
I've long been curious what this page was about. Based on some translations online, I've determined that "Синтöм" probably means "Blind", and the other word might mean "Gorani". I'm wondering if anyone knows what this page is about specifically. Is it a game such as hide-and-seek and blind man's bluff (see the image)? πr2 ( talk  •   changes ) 03:33, 20 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Looks like blind man's buff or hide-and-seek. The Komi word горань (besides being a common surname and the name of a round dance) originally meant a holiday for the young (married folk may not participate) ... predominately young girls. It was a feast of fun and youthful recreation. Goran consists of four main parts: Gathering of the youths, round dance and merrymaking, hide-and-seek, and crowing rooster, each of which lasted a number of days. So, синтöм горань might be translated either as "blind man's buff" or as "blind games". It’s associated with Orthodox Christmas and Epiphany. —Stephen (Talk) 06:29, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the information. :) πr2  ( talk  •   changes ) 00:22, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Welk een vriend is onze Jezus. —Stephen (Talk) 02:28, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * That sounds a bit odd, and it's not the most literal translation either. Literal would be: "Oh wat een vriend hebben wij in Jezus!". Less literal: "Oh wat een vriend is Jezus!". I certainly wouldn't use "welk een". 03:44, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I think it’s how they sing it in the famous song. If you sing "Oh wat een...", it doesn’t fit the meter. —Stephen (Talk) 09:00, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

translation
Please translate "you think I have time for games" in afrikaans


 * I think the "nie" is misplaced there, and it might also be present tense instead of past tense. Also, if Afrikaans word order is anything like that of Dutch, then it's SOV, and you have to place the inflected verb at the end in a subordinate clause. So: "Dink jy dat ek tyd vir speletjies het?" (Dutch: Denk je dat ik tijd voor spelletjes heb?) 03:48, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

познание
Does познание have mystic connotations? 83.83.1.229 16:53, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * No. It's perception; cognition (philosophical) or simply "knowledge", "experience", usually plural in this sense. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 18:37, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

I think that the person who said it had mystic connotations referred to the 'experience' you also mentioned. Do you agree? Could you also tell me what 'Musul’manskaya Peçat’ Rossii v 1910 godu' means or what "Peçat’" means in particular. I do not recognize it, it might be Turkic but I cannot tell you for sure. 83.83.1.229 20:52, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * "Мусульманская печать России в 1910 году" is the title of a book by Владимир Гольмстрем, which is translated as "Muslim press in Russia in 1910". You can look at the entry for to it's other meanings, as it's most common meaning today is "stamp" rather than "press". --WikiTiki89 21:16, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The sense "press" is not dated either but it's a bit ambiguous, and is now a bit more common. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 23:41, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I did not mean that it was dated, but that it is not what people usually think of when they see "печать", or at least not what I usually think of. --WikiTiki89 01:54, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks guys! I was a little confused by the transliteration, but thanks :) 83.83.1.229 07:41, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
