n-nas the people/les gens/die Leute

@SM Imân= Glaube
The translator is only good for word or small sentences you’ll sometimes none sence from it

#142

Thanks for the Glaube word.
And yeah, I know. I am using it only for this exercise. The automatic translators can’t do the grammatical job, especially for languages like German and Arabic.

Sîmâna = Week = Semaine (=Woche)

Next, N…
(The A ending is very frequent for all feminine words. We better take the letter that comes beforehand.)

#143

namusiya bed/lit/Bett

So witch letter now? Another idea is to take “t” for all words ending in ta marbuta.

#144

The idea is to diversify for the letters. The A I mentioned is actually ta marbuta in writing. (Confusing?)
Since a lot of words suggested here are feminine, we’ll end up suggesting words starting with T/A all the time. See?

So I say now it’s a Y.

Ya3nî = which means = c’est à dire = …

Y/I.

#145

Next m

Ok.

#146

Mo3llim = Teacher = Professeur.

#148

x = kh

khdma = work / travail / Arbeite or Beruf (??) ( I’m trying without resorting to the dictionary :unsure:)

I’ll have a go at a sentence this time : Ashmen khdma (lkhdma ?) katdr f lblad dyalek ? What (kind of ) work do you do in your country ?

next letter : m ( oh ! another ‘m’ ! ):wink:

#149

mmi my mother/ma mère/meine Mutter

next i/y

@lisc
Arbeit or Beruf both work. But Beruf is more profession.

#150

imkin = maybe / possible / (forgotten the German word - - ver… something ??)

next letter : n

#151

na3es to sleep/dormir/schlafen

next s

@lisec
möglich

#152

skn = to live / habiter / wohnen

fayn katskn ? = Where do you live ? / Ou habites-tu ? / Wo wohnst Du ? (??)

next letter : n

#153

negliza English/anglais/englisch

next: n

@lisec
Wo wohnst Du? Is correct in a letter or something like that, but normally is written: Wo wohnst du? That’s also the way I would write it in a letter.

#154

znqa = street / rue / Strasse

How about added Spanish (when we can) ? : calle

next : q

#155

qentra = bridge / pond (sorry nuwwara, I only know a few words in german!)

next r

#156

Actually, it’s nnglîziyya. Nnglîz is what we call the UK.
You got lost for the following letter :D, but lisec was careful.

You can add all the languages you want, it might always benefit someone. And you don’t have to use all the languages others used. :slight_smile:

Râjl = Man = Homme = mann.

L.

#157

lun colour/culeur/Farbe/color

@SM
Sorry, so many nuns I got sticked with that.
I just followed how I learnt it from the Harrell’s books. I’ve to check on that.

And you wrote all the nouns there in capital letter except for the German one that you have to write “Mann”.
