Basic words or sentences in your language

Portuguese: (it’s brazillian portuguese)

  • Hello = Olá, oi
  • How are you? = Tudo bem? Como vai você?
  • My name is Diane. = Meu nome é Diane.
  • Thank you = Obrigada (for girls) Obrigado (for boys).

wow it’s totally different, from the old greek…

Yes, you can!

I see Malay is missing here so I’m just gonna add it in! :smile:

Malay

  • How are you? = Apa khabar?
  • I’m fine thanks = Khabar baik
  • My name is Shyan = Nama saya/aku Shyan (formal/informal)
  • Thank you = Terima kasih
  • You’re welcome = Sama-sama
  • I’m sorry = Minta maaf/Maaf (full form/short form)
  • Yes = Ya
  • No = Tidak
  • Welcome to Malaysia = Selamat datang ke Malaysia
  • Good morning = Selamat pagi
  • Good noon(so to speak) = Selamat tengah hari
  • Good afternoon/evening = Selamat petang
  • Good night = Selamat malam
  • Goodbye = Selamat tinggal

Hehe, it’s actually pretty close to Indonesian sometimes. X) In case anyone noticed the similarities and wanted to ask. Oh, also, I’m not sure if there’s an actual “hello” in BM.

Filipino:

  • Hello = Hello (No offical translation)
  • How are you? = Kamusta ka?
  • My name is Christine = Ako si Christine
  • Thank you = Salamat

Here’s some American English from New England. Specifically, Boston and Greater Boston:

-Hello = Hey
-How are you? = How ah yah?
-What’s your name? = Who ah you?
-What’s new/What’s up? = 'Sup?

  • I’m fine = I’m good
  • Thank you = Thanks
  • You’re welcome = No problem
  • I’m sorry = I’m wicked sorry
    -That’s really nice/That’s really great = That’s wicked pissah
  • Goodbye = Latah (“later” with long a sound on the first a)
  • Beer = Bee ah
  • Here = Hee ah
  • Weird = Wee uhd

Remember to always replace “r” with the sound of “ah” and add “r” to the end of words that end in vowels (unless the vowel is silent or the word ends in an “o”). If an “o” is in the middle of a word, pronounce is “aw”. Use the word “wicked” as a modifier/intensifier as often as possible, and never pahk yah cah in Hahvahd Yahd because you’ll get towed.

Gosh this is so interesting to read. English truly has many varieties

I just learn’t some Korean and I’m pretty sure the majority of you like Korean so here it is:
(sorry if I spell the romanisations wrong, also each dialect is different)

Hello/ How are you = Annyong-a-seoyo
My name is Alannah = Chaneum Alannah im-nida
Nice to meet you = Man-a-seo-ban-gap-sim-nida
Sorry = Chwe-song-ham-nida or Mianhae
Thank you = Kam-sam-nida or Koh-map-sim-nida
What’s your name? = I-ruemi mwoh-ye-yoh
Good-bye = Annyong-i-ka-seoyo

I’m currently learning this at school so once again sorry if I’m a bit off

“Apa khabar?” just like Indonesian, am I right?
and the in response you say " Mabotai"

I LOVE Turkey :heart:

Korean is a wonderful language to learn ^.^

I started learning it myself not too long ago. In general…I’m…PRETTY sure that foreigners are taught the Seoul ‘dialect/accent’ of Korean. At least it’s the most recognised that I’ve heard about. Just a note about your romanisations:

Hello/ How are you = Annyong-a-seoyo —> properly romanised is an-nyeong-ha-se-yo

My name is Alannah = Chaneum Alannah im-nida
Would actually be “Je ireum-eun (your name) im-nida”. The phrase you have…not sure if it’s a shortened form I’ve never seen or if you meant “Jeo-neun Alannah imnida.” If it was a misspell then you were actually saying, “I am (your name).”

It’s actually interesting to see that you have a combination of formal, very formal and informal forms of each phrase. Is the mix the way that school has taught you or just the way you’ve remembered it?

Hi there,

how are you = tapai kasto hunu huncha?
my name is = mero naam…
i like dramas = malai drama mann parcha
beautiful = sundar
thank you = dhan-ya-badh
i don’t know = malai thaha chaina
i miss you = mo timi lai samjhi rako chu (timi = inromal, tapai = formal)
i love you = mo timi lai mann parau-chu
bye bye = ta ta

akashirung,
Here are the translations that you have asked for. However, Koreans do not use the exactly same kind of greetings as Americans do. So I’m modifying it slightly to make it sound more natural.

How are you? 잘지냈어(요)? Jal Ji Net Suh (Yo)?
Good to see you. 반가와(요) Ban Ga Wa (Yo).
I love k-dramas 한국드라마 너무 좋아해요. Hangook Drama Nuh Moo Jo Ah Hae Yo.
What’s your name? 이름이 뭐여요? Ee reum ee muh yeh yo?
I like you. 니가좋아 Ni Ga Jo Ah (It all depends on who you are talking to)

since I don’t see any here :stuck_out_tongue:

  • Hello = hej (which is pronounced just as the english “hey”)
  • How are you? = hus mår du? (huor moar do)
  • My name is Raneem = jag heter Raneem (yag heter…)
  • Thank you = Tack (takk with a short a)

I think it sounds ridiculous with roman. you better check it yourself with google translator and listen to it xD

Sei bellissimo = Ma che figo che sei! :smiley:
