Languages, Anyone interested? Options

[Maya]

I learnt through a topic that some people in here are interested in languages.
How about a topic where we can share our languages? I'll suggest a greeting for example and members who are interested can post their translation of it in their own languages. (In English letters plz, so that we can all pronounce it)
I'm an Arab, so I hope I can be useful as one

Good Morning

"Sabah el kheir" -----------> Arabic
" Ohayoo Gozaimus" ------> Japanese
" Bonjour" ------------------> French

Anybody interested to add to my list?

Oh am glad somebody else is inetersted. Like you, Deacon, I'm interested in languages, but dont know much about them. But as for " Ohayoo Gozaymasu", u can say am sure of it

Irish.. interesting. I thought Irish people forgot about their Irish and used English instead. (I have been listening to "Irish son" lately) I find it useful that you pointed out the difference in the way vowels are pronounced in the two languages. (Bean-Ban). Thank you for ur reply, that was fun (f)

Here're the Arabic equivalents of what you mentioned:

Hello: Ahlan/ Marhaba (in some Arab countries) Egyptians say hi too!
How are you: Ezayak (to a male) Ezayek (to a female)
Bye for now: Salam/Bye
Goodnight, sleep well: tesbah ala kheir (to a m.) tesbahy ala kheir (to a f.)
Happy Birthday: Kol sana wenta tayeb (to a m.) kol sana wenty tayeba (to a f.)

Now the translations mentioned above are what we Egyptians speak, not necessarily what we write. So dont expect to read that somewhere, you can just hear it.

NickTheGreek: hi !
