I honestly wasn't expecting German (my grandma's parents came over from Germany!) Or Portuguese (my mom had a thing for Emeril, He always talked about being Portuguese) Thank you sooo much!!! I didn't know that Portuguese was so similar to Spanish!! This is great!! Too bad no word for Manx. lol There isn't one in russian either, or the girl who was teaching me didn't know what a manx was... lol

Thanks again!! This is exciting for me!

I forgot, it's "Chat" for a male cat (the "t" is silent) and "Chatte" for a female.

LOL... Not laughing at you, just reminded me of shadey. One of her nicknames is Stumpy Rumpy!

Stump is like a ... um... uh... short something... um... well... hmmm... how do you describe stump?

Like a tree stump, after a tree is cut down, the stump is left, just the very bottom of it, not very much. ?!?! Um... hmm...

So then Cola is tail ? LOL Coka-Tail... LMAO
and corta = short?

....Yep!

From Gary:

Hebrew:

Hi (hello): Shalom
How are you: Mein ya niem
Please: Bevakashah (inflection on the last syllable)
Thank you: Todah rabah (inflections on the last syllables)
You're welcome: Ah lo devar (literally means "it's nothing")
cat: chatool plural: chatooleem (I don't know how to suggest you pronounce the "ch" because it's not like in english - maybe think of the "c" as a sort of soft "k" - combined with the "h" it's a very gutteral sound).
manx - ???????????? Manx!

Arabic:

Hi (hello): Ahalan we sahalan (pronounced ahalan way sahalan) - that's VERY casual - you'd have to know someone very well to say it like that.
In the morning you say: Sabach el chare
In the evening you say: Sabach el noor

How are you: Keif el halach or you can say keif el duniya this one means "how is your world" - like - how are you and your family kind of a thing...
Please: Ana bidi - it means more "I want." He was in the army in the Middle East - I'm not sure he knows the word for "please."
Thank you - Shukran
You're welcome - ????
cat - chil

French:

Hi (hello): bonjour In the evening: bonsoir
How are you: I only know formal: comment allez vous?
Please Formal: S'il vous plaÃ[emoji]174[/emoji]t Informal I don't know.
Thank you: Merci
You're welcome: de rien - again, this means literally "it's nothing."
cat: chat
manx

I find it really interesting how many languages use "it's nothing" for "you're welcome!"

It took me a while to write the post, so I'd go with Marie's french, not mine!

Thankyou Laurie and Gary!! I wan't expecting Hebrew and Arabic, that's so cool!!! Interesting also, I am curious now how many different languages people from TCS speak.


Be safe.

...how do you say (write)...

Here's Russian. ut0pia might know these a bit better since I think she has a little more experience actually, you know, using the language.

Hi (hello) - Depends on who you're talking to. For a friend or someone you know well, it's привет (pre-vyet). For more formal situations, it's здравствуйте (zdrast-voo-tyay)

How are you - Informal: Как дела? (Kack dee-la - literally, how are things) [that first word is pronounced just like the slang for a rooster, but I'm pretty sure it would get censored if I wrote it that way]; Formal Как ваши дела? (Kack vash-ee dee-la)

Please - пожалуйста (pa-zhal-oo-sta)

Thank you - спасибо (spa-see-ba)

You're welcome - пожалуйста (pa-zhal-oo-sta)

cat - female = кошка (kosh-ka) male = кот (coat) У меня четыре кошки = I have 4 cats. Правда! (pravda) = It's true!

manx Since it's foreign, I'm guessing they'd just spell it like it sounds, i.e., майнкс. Most Russian can read Latin letters, so they might not even do that and just write "manx". BTW, when I pronounce the Russian properly, it comes out as Ma-eenx. It sounds the same way I think some of my very southern relatives would pronounce the word.

After thought
YES - да (da)
NO - Нет (nyet)
MAYBE - Может быть (Mo-zhet bweets [that last word is really hard to convey properly]; literally "It could be")

cat with no tail: eine Katze ohne Schwanz, eine schwanzlose Katze
cat with short tail: eine Katze mit einem kurzen Schwanz
cat with stump on her butt !! eine Katze mit einem kleinen Stummel an ihrem Hinterteil

German Manx breeders use the expressions "Rumpies" and "Stumpies", BTW.

I speak Bulgarian, Russian and Spanish, here it is in Bulgarian

Hi (hello)- Здравей prounounced Zdrah vey, this is informal, formal would be Здравейте, pronounced the same except for with Teh in the end
How are you- Как си pronounced Kahk see
Please- Моля prounounced Mol ya
Thank you- Благодаря pronounced Blah goh dar ya
You're welcome- За нищо prounounced Zah nish toh
cat- котка pronounced Kot kah
manx - котка без опашка Kot Kah beh zah opahshkah

After thought
YES- ДА
NO - НE
MAYBE- Може би mozhe bee

Sorry, I am bad at writing it out phonetically so that the pronounciation is clear...

Grogs beat me to it in Russian
