Languages

Ask questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful.

Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet.

To see translations of some frequently used phrases and sentences in other languages see Languages

Rose: Ebru has translated BK into Turkish and she's a very kind person, I'm sure she'd help you with this if you ask her.

I did a small research myself though:

"Merhaba" - Hello
"Acaba" - I wonder, if, do you mind
"Benim" - my
"Dilim" - strip, sector, piece, slice
"Anlıyormusun?" - Do you understand?

So maybe the sentence means: "Hey, got any problems with my pieces, huh?" LOL

Pedro Martínez:

'meraba acaba benım dılımı anlıyormusun' is absolutely Turkish and means Infact, Marfi is right about one thing, correct spelling of hello is merhaba but as in all languages it is widened as meraba in the speech.

And thxs for the nice compliments Pedro

Ebru and all: Thanks so much every body who replied. Most helpful and very fast!

Ebru could you translate this:
1. su oyunu hanı konusarak oynarız dıye dusunmustum de
2. tsekkur ettım

I feel absolutely lost in a game with a player here. All I can say in reply to them is "Bol şans."
