Languages!
Hello everyone!
What languages can you all speak, and could you teach us one word from one of the languages you speak?
I’ll start: flower in Mandarin is 花 🌼
@Mandie108
I can speak English, Hindi, Marathi
विश्वास, pronounced vish-wuhs Hindi for faith, belief or assurance
नमस्ते 🙏
@SilverTabbyCat63
अरे वाह, नमस्ते। 🙏🏻
नमस्कार! तुम्ही कसे आहात? 😊
@Mandi108
English is the only language I speak fluently. I know a little Turkish from friends.
Merhaba, nasılsın? Hello, how are you?
Ä°yiyim, teÅekkürler. I'm good thanks.
That's all I know lol
Why did it post like that?ð¤£
Merhaba, nasilsin? Hello, how are you?
Iyi Tesekkurler. I'm good thanks.
Maybe it was the Turkish characters?
@Mandie108
I can speak English, Gujarati, Hindi and Russian .. also little bit(maybe A1 level) of Japanese and German
I love the Japanese symbol for Heart ❤️ = 心 (kokoro)
In Russian language there is a word Сердцe (Sredats) means Heart
By the way... 心 kokoro is not just heart, it's mind as well, together as one, together... It's the same with chitta in Sanskrit.

I see . I am still learning Japanese so..I am trying to learn EVERYDAY something new...it's great...
So much is lost in translation (kokoro chitta nameste etc) with Japanese, it's really good to learn kanji, because they are pictures with meaning, and also cultural meaning (maybe you know too Japanese has a lot of homophones, so again kanji makes it easier to understand). Don't be scared with 2000 kanji, because there only 200 radicals which up the kanji... It's like a child drawing a tree, next to a house, then adding a family and you think ah!? it's a home (that's an example how kanji work, it's not the real kanji for home 🤭)... The brain processes the picture, much quicker than the Roman alphabet.
I can speak english and some Japanese, German, Spanish and a few more.
One word in German is "Zeitgeist," translates to "spirit of the times." pronounced like TSYTE-gyst Zeit pronounced like "site" (more like szite when you say it because most z's in German sound like a mix of s and z). Geist pronounced like "guyst" guy like guy and st like ist without the i.
Italian (native) and flower is "fiore"
I can speak English, Portuguese a little bit of French, German and Russian. Studying Mandarin on my own but it is hard haha
Wow, very impressive!!
Mandarin is definitely very difficult, but you can do it! Good luck with learning ☺️
@Mandie108 BAS BOHAT HOGAYA. That means I've had enough. (I'm fed up)
@oliveKiwi4222
I like that 😂👍🏻
日本語 (nihon-go Japanese) 花 (hana Flower)... A little Hindi/Sanskrit नमस्ते 🙏 (namaste, bowing to the divine you).
@SilverTabbyCat63
Are you learning Japanese?
I lived there 🤭
@SilverTabbyCat63
That's so cool....how many languages you know
Hopefully you have seen my main reply before...
Oops 🤭 not below... above.
Wow very cool! Japanese and Chinese have lots of similar characters but the pronunciation is so different 😮
Hello! Alongside English, I can speak Hindi and French.
I'll do the same word.
In Hindi, flower is phool. (my keyboard doesn't let me put the spelling in the language)
And in French, flower is fleur.
Very cool!! Thank you for sharing :)
Complacent
@Mandie108 flower in indonesian is Bunga.
