English to Navajo
porn, porno, pornography --Romanophile (talk) 12:05, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

 * I suppose it would be beʼelyaa tʼóó baaʼihígíí. —Stephen (Talk) 01:56, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
 * On second thought, I think the translation would be ajiłee. It is a difficult question for Navajo, because pornography is a Western cultural thing, and in Navajo culture there is nothing like it. Western morality cannot be applied to Navajo culture. Nudity for the sake of sexual excitement is a foreign concept, as is shame. Sex in all its forms is taught in Navajo culture as a natural need, like eating food and drinking water. You cannot live without it but you must not overindulge. Overindulgence is a symptom of being out of step with nature the universe around us. Maintaining harmony with the rest of nature is a personal commitment for Navajos, and there are special ceremonies for those who lose touch with their harmonious relationship with nature, to restore the person to normalcy. —Stephen (Talk) 08:14, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Russian instrumental + genitive case
How does it work exactly when you want to say 'with many people' for example? Does the noun follow the instrumental case or the genitive case? 82.217.116.224 12:24, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It depends on the sense of the English "with", so more context is required but in the sense of "together with" it's the instrumental case - "со мно́гими людьми́" or "со мно́жеством люде́й" (in the 2nd example "множество" is in the instrumental case, "лю́ди" is genitive, dependent on мно́жество). E.g.:
 * (Together) with - instrumental case - "со мно́гими людьми́". To meet someone for the first times uses "(по)знакомиться с" + instrumental case, e.g. "I met many people" - "Я познако́мился со мно́гими людьми́". "This happens to many people" - "Э́то случа́ется со мно́гими людьми́". "I went there with a lot of people" - "Я пошёл/пошла́ туда́ со мно́жеством люде́й/со мно́гими людьми́". --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 12:49, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Аha, so there it is..there is also многий. I thought there was only много! Anyway, to sum up...if you say 'I went with a lot of people' it goes like с + instrumental/'много' (at least not многий) + genitive? So it does not mean that с changes the ultimate noun in this particular order? 82.217.116.224 13:15, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

 * с большим количеством людей. The only governs the noun количество and its adjective.  is not part of that phrase, but in a completely separate phrase consisting of количество людей. That is, it breaks down to "with a large amount" + "of people." It is no different from the English: with a lot of people = "with a lot" + "of people". The English prepositional phrase is "with a lot." The prepositional phrase does not include "people", and "of people" is a separate prepositional phrase. —Stephen (Talk) 07:15, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

 * As Stephen said, "a lot of people" can be translated in different ways, depending on the situation. In "многие люди" both parts are declinable (it's just adjective + noun) but "много людей" behaves like "большое количество людей" or "множество людей", where the genitive form "людей" doesn't decline. Feel free to ask for the clarification, I'm not sure if it all makes sense. The collocation "много людей" would never be used with prepositions, so other forms are used. You can registered editors to make sure people notice your questions.--Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 11:11, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Wow thanks for your help guys, I really appreciate it. So I should never use много in combination with prepositions. Thanks for the advice :) I already thought it was difficult to understand. Thanks again, oh and of course, best wishes to wiktionary :) 82.217.116.224 18:06, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Spanish:  —Stephen (Talk) 15:31, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Why are they rare? --Romanophile (talk) 01:42, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

 * They are rare for several reasons. One, it is something that is rarely spoken of, especially during conservatives times and when the populations of these countries were very devout. Two, and partly because it’s a subject seldom talked about, and because all of these countries had long periods where the people were very devout and pious, the Latin word did not carry through in a natural, continuous manner to the daughter languages, but instead modern people had to read many Latin texts to find such a word, and then use it in literary works in the hopes of gettint the word adopted. Three, the meaning of linguist has shifted quite a bit, and it is understood as a person who knows a lot about languages, and not a person who uses his tongue for things unrelated to language. —Stephen (Talk) 03:16, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Once more I don't need a literal translation, but a natural way to express what each of these English sentences expresses in a different way:

 * Can you give me a lift?
 * Can I come with you?
 * Can I ride in the back?

It's for use in hitchhiking once a car has stopped but doesn't understand what you want. The latter is for use with pickup trucks. There's is no word for hitchhiking in Thai or Lao. A native speaker previously told me "kap lot dai baw" but most people look confused when I try it. I think it actually means something more like "Can I drive?"!

 * FYI (I don't know if either is correct), I got 裴智范 from Google Translate and 裴志范 from Bing Translator. WikiWinters (talk) 21:20, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

 * What does the term mean and why do you think it's Sino-Korean (therefore should have a hanja form)? . --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 22:33, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

 * It's a Korean friend's name. I'm writing a letter to him in Chinese, so his name in Chinese would be at the top. WikiWinters (talk) 01:40, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

 * I can't help with first names. I can only say with some certainty about the surnames, 裵, less commonly 裴 is hanja for the surname . --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:51, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Probably 裴致范 or 裴治范. Wyang (talk) 05:52, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

 * So, if a Chinese newspaper were to report on some random individual named 배치범, would they just take the most likely equivalent, which it appears you think is 裴致范, or what? WikiWinters (talk) 16:07, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * A Chinese newspaper would need to be certain about person's name. It's always known what hanja spelling is for famous people. Otherwise they would transliterate or guess, sometimes incorrectly, which seems to happen sometimes with Korean or Japanese (e.g. if a name is written in kana) names. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 19:20, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * The major newspapers know they should get Korean and Vietnamese names right when they report, otherwise they will get many complaints. If there is no other information about the actual characters, the newspaper could write 裴致范（音） or 裴致范（音譯） when reporting. Wyang (talk) 03:54, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Not disagreeing but commenting that in literature - translations from Asian or other languages, names can be shortened or made up. E.g. in translations of some Japanese manga or English books, the choice with the author. Long English names are often shortened, especially in books for children. Japanese names not always follow the original characters, especially with cases where more than one kanji can be used or no kanji at all. It's sometimes foreigners who complain, not Chinese readers. :) --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:08, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Please correct or suggest Latin
Hi! I'm trying for a Latin phrase: Illae [plural nom noun] In Viso Ardor Solis. I know enough to know that's not correct. What correction I have in notes is In Visione Ardor Solis. Want to keep Ardor to imply all meanings, not use an adjective. In Ardore Sole [modifier to mean sight i.e. 2nd definition]? How to do something like "in my own brilliant sight/vision/view"? Did Latin use "in sight(s)" like English? Prefer ancient Roman.

 * . (I don’t understand how you mean to use the noun ...if you use that, you’ll get a different meaning.) —Stephen (Talk) 19:41, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

@Stephen Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah, that's not going to work. I have to preserve ardor as a noun not modifier, or it'll lose the layered meanings. It's poetry; basically the plural subject is inside ardor. Like ships are in view. The vision/consciousness part is movable; ardor isn't. What might be helpful is how is the second definition of used in text? "brightness, brilliancy (of the eyes)"? I've tried to look. Is it perhaps used with oculus? I feel like this is an idiom that I don't know.

 * If you use the noun, you have to use it as a noun. Maybe something like "in the flame of my own view". Or "in the view of my own flame". English nouns can be used as adjectives, but Latin nouns are only nouns. If you tried to say "in meam sententiam ardorem", it becomes gibberish. Maybe you could say "in my view and in my flame". In any case, if you use the noun, it has to be used as a noun. —Stephen (Talk) 13:18, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Modern English to Biblical Hebrew
With what shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil?

 * It is my opinion that No. 1 is the formal literary choice, while No. 3 is the informal colloquial choice. —Stephen (Talk) 18:45, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

 * I'd go with that. (1) has the object as a verb phrase, with the actual verb understood: "I have the same name as he [does]". This is a formal way of putting it. (2) has the object as a noun phrase: "... as his [name]". Not incorrect, but not normal for either formal or casual speech. (3) is the normal, unmarked form, correct in just about any register. --Catsidhe (verba, facta) 22:05, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Really you can say all 3, but "I have the same name as he" sounds WAY too formal/archaic and wouldn't be used in colloquial conversation. "His" is used less but still is correct. "Him" is much more common and I'd recommend using that more than any of the other choices. NativeCat drop by and say Hi! 14:29, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Latin to English: "Eius modi tempora"
I came across the phrase eius modi tempora on a poster that was otherwise in English.

Could someone explain to me the difference between these two Russian words? When is лишь used instead of только? Thank you, 82.217.116.224 15:16, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Please see entries and . Which part seems to cause problems? --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 23:48, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

I'm not a native English speaker, so I do not completely understand the subtle differences between the translations at those entries. To me, those Russian phrases are not helping either, especially лишь только. I'm sorry if this leaves you not knowing how to explain it then, I simply do not understand. 82.217.116.224 22:06, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * They are synonyms. is much more common. If you want to translate the English "only" into Russian, "только" is recommended. The differences are indeed somewhat subtle, at least for a beginner, it depends on what you need to know or do (translate from English into Russian or the other way around).  --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 22:15, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
 * You can ask a more specific question about the usage with concrete sample phrases. The short answer is, they both mean "only". --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 22:27, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Okay, if you want to say 'You need to do just one thing', I guess только? And maybe..'You can see only one thing', would лишь be okay there too? Thanks again for your help and patience, Anatoli. 82.217.116.224 21:04, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
 * 'You need to do just one thing.' - "Тебе нужно сделать только одно."
 * 'You can see only one thing.' - "Тебе видно только одно." The word "лишь" would be okay here as well but, as I said, "только" is more commonly used. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 05:31, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Спасибо за всё, Анатолий. Всегда вы мне очень хорошо помогаете со всем. Это правильно? :)82.217.116.224 08:47, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Пожалуйста. :) Да, правильно. I would say "помогаете во всём", since "со всем" sounds like and is not immediately clear. You can use the informal "ты" instead of the formal "вы" with me, if it doesn't make it harder to make sentences.--Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 22:24, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

English (Or swedish) => German, "riddle postcard" to my Germanspeaking-teacher-sister.
Where are we going?

10 - To which country we have traveled is clear from the language on this postcard.

8 - An Altbier can be enjoyed here, at the view of a river that is not dirty.

6 - North of the city is a country that is not up and to the west a city that together with an element becomes a vegetable.

4 - While flying to this city, we were lucky that our flight did not offer any nasty surprises over the Alps.

2 - The first part of the city name rhymes with “pyssel”, but if you guess at "Bryssel" you are in the wrong place. Second part of the city´s name means “by” in swedish.

The same text in Swedish:

10 - Vilket land vi har rest till framgår av språket på detta vykortet.

8 - Här avnjuts gärna ett glas Altbier vid en flod som inte är smutsig.

6 - Norr om staden ligger ett land som inte är uppåt och till väst finns en stad som tillsammans med ett grundämne blir en grönsak.

4 - Hade vi flugit från en flygplats som fackmän kallar BCN, kunde vi ha haft otur och fått en otrevlig överraskning över alperna.

2- Första delen i stadens namn rimmar på "pyssel" men om du gissar på Bryssel har du hamnat fel. Andra delen i stadens namn betyder “by” på svenska.

 * Wo gehen wir hin?
 * 10 - Der Name des Landes, wohin wir gereist haben, ist von der Sprache auf dieser Postkarte klar.
 * 8 - Hier kann man ein Glas Altbier genießen, an einem Fluss, der nicht verschmutzt ist.
 * 6 - Im Norden der Stadt liegt ein Land, das nicht auf ist, und im Westen ist eine Stadt, die zusammen mit einem Element ein Gemüse wird.
 * 4 - Als wir in diese Stadt flogen, hatten wir Glück, dass unser Flug keine bösen Überraschungen über die Alpen zu leiden brachte.
 * 2 - Der erste Teil des Namens der Stadt reimt sich auf „pyssel“, aber wenn man an „Brüssel“ errät, an der falschen Stelle ist man. Der zweite Teil des Namens der Stadt bedeutet „Dorf“ auf schwedisch. —Stephen (Talk) 01:53, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

tuk-tuk - English to Lao
I was hoping that tuk-tuk (vehicle, a motorized rickshaw) would be something like or "ຕົກ ໆ" in Lao but there are zero hits on the Web. I know that tuk-tuks are also common in Laos. The Thai spellings are and. I have simply converted Thai letters to Lao one to one but no luck. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 06:52, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Quoting from a Lonely Planet page:

"The various three-wheeled taxis found in Vientiane and provincial capitals have different names depending on where you are. Larger ones are called jąmbǫh (jumbo) and can hold four to six passengers on two facing seats. In Vientiane they are sometimes called tuk-tuks as in Thailand (though traditionally in Laos this refers to a slightly larger vehicle than the jumbo), These three-wheeled conveyances are also labelled simply taak-see (taxi) or, usually for motorcycle sidecar-style vehicles, săhm-lór (three-wheels). The old-style bicycle săhm-lór (pedicab), known as a cyclo elsewhere in Indochina, is an endangered species in Laos."
 * In my experience, I simply used the Thai word in Laos and was universally understood. To me, săhm-lór exclusively refers to a carriage drawn by a bicycle, but this seems to imply that its semantic range is wider than that. Sorry that these are in an idiosyncratic romanisation system. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 23:32, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you! So "pedicab" (three-wheeler) must be (lit. three wheels) and taxi is . Sealang dictionary has "ສາມລໍ້" as "samlor, tricycle, tricycle taxi". (Our Lao transliteration doesn't show tones but correctly shows vowels).--Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 00:38, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
 * BTW, "săam lór" is the Thai transliteration of "สามล้อ" same as (cognate of) the Lao "ສາມລໍ້". --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 00:43, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

 * According to the 4th edition of the Lonely Planet Lao Phrasebook published in March 2014 the word is :
 * "In Vientiane they are also sometimes called túk-túk (ຕຸກໆ) as in Thailand, while in the south (Pakse, Savannakhet) they may be called 'Skylab' because of the perceived resemblance to a space capsule!"
 * Well I'm back in Pakse now and I was here for a week four months ago and never heard 'Skylab'. I wouldn't be surprised if that's something that used to be used thirty years ago and has lived on as a meme in phrasebooks. When I hear túk-túk here it's usually foreigners saying it. But when I was hitchhiking from the Vietnam border to Attapeu my Lao driver who didn't know much English used the word for a, which I'd also heard once in Saravan province earlier in my trip. I haven't been confident enough yet about this to add it to wiktionary though.
 * ຕຸກໆ only gets about fifty Google hits but gets a few more if you also look for the spelling variants ຕຸກ ໆ, ຕຸກຕຸກ, and ຕຸກ ຕຸກ. — hippietrail (talk) 08:11, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Thanks. I've added the common and the recommended spelling. I should have tried the "u" vowel instead of "o" and I would have found it (this Lao spelling only differs from Thai in the tone marker) but there are some Lao examples with "o" with the meaning "knock", which led me in the wrong direction. BTW, only works if your signature is added in the same edit. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 09:46, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah didn't know that. Just noticed that you hadn't seemed to have seen my comment. By the way, here in Vientian many (sleazy) tuk-tuk drivers try to get tourists attention by saying "tuk tuk" to every one that passes. But I think this is likely to be "tourism-ese" where they use the word because the tourists use it because they picked it up in Thailand. I'll ask one of the guys working in my guesthouse about this but I'm pretty sure Vientiane locals don't call them "tuk-tuk" amongst themselves. — hippietrail (talk) 09:56, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Also were you aware that "song tiaw" and "jumbo" (or "jambo") are also used for similar vehicles in Laos? I don't have the Lao spellings handy but I'm sure the former is also a Thai word and the latter is not. I've never been clear on the difference between a "samlor" vs "jambo" vs "songtiaw" let alone "tuk tuk" in Lao. I don't think "jumbo" is the biggest among them though. — hippietrail (talk) 09:56, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

 * They can make one if they need it. Most English verbs in dictionaries have a single form for the infinitive and the present tense forms except for the 3rd person, so there would be little need for a special word other than verb. If they were looking at Spanish verbs, they might say "main verb", "basic verb", or something like that. I would have to ask what expression they prefer for Spanish infinitives (there would probably be a number of different answers, all valid). —Stephen (Talk) 16:19, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Message by Susann Schweden
I would like the following paragraph translated into English so I could understand it: "hi, magst du dich etwas schlauer machen, bevor du einen Eintrag anlegst? In diesem hier fehlt sehr viel, was standardmäßig dazugehört. Magst du das ergänzen? Aussprachebaustein, Beispielsatz mit Übersetzung, Übersetzungstabelle und ganz wichtig: die Referenzen. Jeder Eintrag muss belegt sein. Es wäre sehr schön, wenn du dies alles selbst nachträgst. Du lernst dabei am besten, wie es geht :) Ich schaue mir das gerne hinterher an. mlg" --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 03:06, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

 * "hi, you want to learn how to do it better before you add an entry? A lot of standard stuff is missing here. Do you want to add it?

Listen to the fire alarm. Once you hear the alarm, evacuate as soon as possible. If you ever get lost, follow anyone else thats why you need to be together. If you get caught up with smoke, get down low and crawl. Do not hide if there is fire. Once you are outside follow all instructions. If there is a risk of explosion, get as far away from the taxi area as possible and face away at all times. As soon as possible,call your local or nearest fire department. If it is safe to go back inside, listen to your school bell. Then follow everyone back inside. Know your fire exists, so in case you are lost in the fire, you must know where your nearest exist is.

 * Luister vir die brandalarm. Sodra jy die alarm hoor, ontruim so gou as moontlik. As jy al ooit verlore raak, volg iemand anders. Dit is die rede waarom jy nodig het om saam te wees. As jy gevang in die rook, kry laag en kruip op die vloer. Moenie wegkruip as daar is 'n brand. Sodra jy buite is, volg al die instruksies. As daar is 'n risiko van die ontploffing, beweeg so ver weg van die taxi area as moontlik, en draai jou gesig weg van die brand te alle tye. So gou as moontlik, bel die naaste brandweer. As dit veilig is om terug te gaan binne, luister vir jou skool klok. Dan volg almal terug binne. Weet waar jou branduitgange is, sodat in die geval dat jy verloor het in die brand, sal jy weet waar jou naaste uitgang is. —Stephen (Talk) 07:21, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

 * . You normally order food or drinks with ຂໍ (in Lao) and ขอ (in Thai). I don't know much about Lao polite particles, they are probably similar to Thai. You can try yourself. They are not mandatory, especially if you're a customer. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 12:54, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
 * According to this Thai and Lao Quora article, Lao doesn't have equivalents of Thai polite particles. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 13:09, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah yes it's the that I'd forgotten. Our automatic transliteration for  is still broken. It should be more like the Thai word with the 'w' at the end rather than between the initial consonant and the vowel. Lao writing is more ambiguous in practice than it looks at first glance.
 * Lao doesn't have the 'krap'/'ka' polite particles like in Thai. There are other polite particles of a different nature, that I guess Thai has equivalents of. One is - you'll often see it used to make "thank you" more polite: "kop chai" -> "kop chai deu". And for ordering things there is  that is sometimes translated as "please". — hippietrail (talk) 03:18, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree about the transliteration of "ແກ້ວ", which is unambiguously "kǣu". The diphthong ແ-ວ surrounds the consonant "ກ" from both sides and the diacritic (້) is a tone diacritic we don't use for transliteration purposes. Unfortunately, Wyang seems to have given up major work at Wiktionary and no-one is taking over. He should be able to fix it.
 * The equivalents of Thai ครับ and ค่ะ/คะ are not used in the same sense in Lao - neither as particles, nor as a "yes" answer to a yes/no question. Sort of equivalent are, which also means "I" (respectfully) but is also used as a politeness particle at the end of a sentence, only if "I" is missing. Thai seems more "polite" and formal. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 03:55, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

English to Croatian
heroin

I'm not that familiar with Croatian. Croatian Wikipedia has an article on "heroin" (without diacritics), but the Serbo-Croatian entry heroin has the Roman listing with diacritics (heròīn). --WikiWinters (talk) 18:56, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

 * is correct. Serbo-Croatian has a pitch accent, which is used in speech but not indicated in writing. The entries here use a system of diacritics (Slavicist system) to indicate the pitch accent, but in normal text the diacritics are not used. In the case of, ò = short vowel with rising tone; ī = nontonic long vowel. —Stephen (Talk) 09:00, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Is this the same for Latin entries? I've noticed that they contain diacritics as well, but are they normally used in writing? --WikiWinters (talk) 21:00, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

 * The breve is used only in Latin dictionaries. The macron was not used in Classical times, but is sometimes written in modern Latin editions.
 * A number of languages use special marks or letters in dictionaries that are not used in normal text. Italian dictionaries use an accent to show the word stress, and the letter ʒ to indicate a /zh/ sound, but in normal Italian text only a final accented syllable may be marked, and no special letters are used. —Stephen (Talk) 04:26, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

English to Latin translation request
Hello I would like the following translated into Latin. It is a very meaningful thought to my life and feel it deserves some eloquence. I do not believe a persons professional should always follow what one loves. Quite often when a person tries to make a living around something the love the result is resentment. I do not want to lose my passion for those things I love. The other side is that success is more likely when a person pursues a professional path the benefits from their strengths.

Do what you do well. Enjoy what you love.

Thank you, Paul Ziemer

 * I was puzzled by your response; I thought you were being a wise guy at first, but then I realized I had said "English" instead of "Italian." Haha, that's embarrassing... So, the standard translation for "sexy" is attraente, but word-for-word is sexy?

Japanese to English
http://i.imgur.com/GvpEqJU.jpg --WikiWinters (talk) 22:40, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

 * This is all in Chinese characters, leading me to think it's not Japanese.
 * The writing is quite stylized, and it is difficult to tell what the characters are intended to be.
 * The topmost character might be 発 (the Japanese simplified version of 發 “to start; to become”), maybe 癸 (zodiac symbol). The radical looks like 癶, but Index:Chinese_radical/癶 doesn't show anything that quite fits.  Another option would be a radical of 入 with 長 on the bottom (maybe a surname?), but Index:Chinese_radical/入 also has nothing that fits this.  It could be a broken-down version of 食 (“to eat”).
 * The second one is probably 銶 (“chisel”).
 * The third one escapes me.
 * The fourth one is also hard to identify. The likeliest option would be a broken-down version of 寿 (“long life, longevity”).
 * The last one is clearest, and it looks like 行 (“to go”).
 * What is the context of this image? It looks like maybe the side of a knife.  The colander in the background suggests a kitchen setting.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 00:01, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Looks like another contributor on the linked site guessed right, for characters 3, 4, and 5: 堺 孝行, or Sakai Takayuki. The  character in the image is a bit warped, but just about recognizable -- if you know what you're looking at.  The  character is a real mess in the image, with stray marks on the knife that look like character strokes.

 * I think it would be "an icon of the Novgorod recension". I’m not sure of this, because I don’t know much about Slavic icons or the language used to describe them. Recension is rarely used in English, and most people would not understand it. It might be better to say "an icon of the Novgorod variant" or "an icon (Novgorod recension)". —Stephen (Talk) 10:40, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Hallo, Jungs, jetzt habe ich Deutsch gelernt. —Stephen (Talk) 05:05, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

 * As a native speaker I would rather simply put it: "Na ihr, ich hab jetzt Deutsch gelernt." To translate "guys" with "Jungs" is somewhat misleading since "guys" in plural simply refers to people and I guess, not only to young male people. So I would rather address the persons with "ihr" or drop it in the translation and just say "Hey" or "Na". Another way would be to say "Hey Leute,...". — Best wishes, Caligari ƆɐƀïиϠႵ 19:51, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

 * L&S's entry for imperium list the meaning of imperi as empire in this quote.

 * That would be good, I think. I like using "benefit", and my only problem left with your rendering is that ruō is more akin to rushing downward rather than falling apart, which "collapsing" would suggest. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 20:56, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
 * “What god may the people invoke for the benefit of a state tumbling to ruin.”
 * This is also one of those wonderful examples where res has some nondescript positive and/or legal meaning. — JohnC5 21:24, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Nice. And yes, I couldn't suss it out, so I rather cowardly avoided the problem of translating res, but I reckon you're right about that. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 00:36, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
 * The one alternative I might suggest would be “…in the matters of a state tumbling to ruin.” It really is a matter of valence, for which res has always been a difficult subject as it can be either very out-and-out positive (wealth, fortune) or very cut-and-dry legal (issue, suit). Up to Romanophile, I suppose. — JohnC5 01:53, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

I have already given them to you

 * Je vous les ai déjà donnés.
 * Je te les ai déjà donnés. (if you are friendly with this person) —Stephen (Talk) 08:43, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Not exactly. In French, the past participle agrees with the direct object ("les" in this sentence) when this one occurs before the past participle. In this sentence it will be always in the plural "donnés" (masculine) or "données" (feminine) since "les" can be either masculine or feminine. We would also have:
 * Je te/vous les ai déjà donnés. ("les" being masculine plural)
 * Je te/vous les ai déjà données. ("les" being feminine plural)
 * Furthermore, "tu" refers to only one person you are quite familiar with, whereas "vous" can refer to several people and also to only one person you are not familiar with and/or you respectfully speak to. Such distinction has been lost in English (see thou). 86.69.154.164 07:38, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

 * What about the comma after "hallo?" Wiki  Winters ☯ 韦安智  22:12, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

 * First of all, please apologize my belated reply. I'm not that often present in the English wiktionary.
 * As to your question I will quote from the article “hallo” in “Duden, Richtiges und gutes Deutsch” (7th edition, 2011) dictionary on the correct usage of German, and translate:
 * “In sehr kurzen, als vertraulich empfundenen Anreden in Briefen und E-Mails besteht die Neigung, das Komma zwischen Anredeformel und Personennamen wegzulassen: Hallo Anna, gestern hast Du geschrieben … Als korrekt im Sinne der Kommaregeln gilt aber weiterhin die Abgrenzung zwischen Anrede und Namen: Hallo, Anna, gestern hast Du geschrieben …”
 * Translation:
 * “In very short, familiar forms of address in letters and e-mails there is a tendency of omitting the comma between the formula of address and the personal name: [example] However, the dissociation between the form of address and the name still applies correctly in the meaning of the punctuation regulations regarding the comma: [example]”
 * So, since to me the English sentence felt as being written in a familiar and unformal way, I used the former. But you are free to use the latter as well.

 * Not as far as I know. There are a couple of synonyms, and . Homosexuality was very illegal under the communists, so gays and lesbians were careful to remain hidden. Twenty-five years ago, Russians, Romanians, and other people of the Soviet-bloc countries firmly believed that gay Russians, gay Romanians, etc., did not exist. They were certain that homosexuality was a thing of the West. After the fall of communism, homosexuality began to appear in these countries and people were astonished. The Russian Ministry of Healthcare decided to deal with their new homosexual problem by welcoming the introduction of AIDS and by turning a blind eye to its spread. It was widely believed that HIV would eradicate the gay people and then, with nothing else to feed on, it would simply vanish.

sustainability

 * I could not find a decent translation to Latin or Ido for "sustainability;" any suggestions? Best I could come up with was "potestas sustinere" ("the power to sustain") and "durapovo" ("enduring power," from an adjectivization of Ido "durar," by analogy of Esperanto "daŭripovo").  Nicole Sharp (talk) 14:28, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Probably not what you’re looking for, but how about sustentabilitas, from sustentō? —Stephen (Talk) 00:12, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I checked several Latin dictionaries on "sustinere" vs. "sustentare," and "sustinere" seems closer to the Modern English definition of "sustain" (in the sense of environmental or social sustainability, i.e. closer to "maintain, preserve" than "uphold" or "endure"). "Sustainability" has recently become an important buzzword for environmental movements; my university even requires a Sustainability Studies course now for students.  I would be surprised if it has not been used already in a Neo-Latin publication, perhaps by the Vatican.  There seems to less literature in Ido though than Latin, due to the popularity of "unimproved" Esperanto.  Nicole Sharp (talk) 17:32, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Well, yes, it is. That's what I meant by saying that it is "a commonly used spelling variant of ". —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 00:48, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Talking about spellings here, foreign names are hardly written in hiragana in Japanese, so "カリナ" (in katakana) is the Japanese translation of both "Karina" and "Carina", Eirikr must have provided "かりな" (in hiragana) for completeness here. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 00:35, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * @Μετάknowledge, interesting. I note that there is currently no Spanish entry for, which led me to think that this spelling is not used in Spanish.  If you are familiar enough with the conventions for Spanish entries, could you add that?

Italian to English translation
Thank you for your number pretty lady!

It is greatly appreciated. I am confident in my decisions. Reading your profile confirmed my gut instints and affirmed my judgement. I know you are exactly the type of woman I am seeking. So, we can talk tomight or tomorrow. But that's a formality. I'm jumping ahead and am now asking you out for Saturday night and my opportunity to do what I do best. I'm going to wine and dine and intertwine you. And light you up with an evening of enchantment that will not only leave your head spinning; and knees quivering; but sweep you off your feet before you even know what happened.

Warmly,

Anthony

 * Grazie per il vostro numero, bella signorina!

So che siete esattamente il tipo di donna che sto cercando. Così possiamo parlare stasera o domani. Ma questo è solo una formalità. Ho intenzione di saltare avanti ora e chiedervi di uscire nella notte di sabato in modo che posso mostrarvi quello che so fare meglio. Faremo degustare vini pregiati e cibi e io saremo coccolarvi. Vi mostrerò una serata d’incanto che farà girare la testa e spazzerà via i vostri piedi prima ancora di sapere cosa è successo.
