BrainKing - Discussion boards (Languages)

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

Subject: Bulgarian translation?

Modified by alanback (28. December 2006, 18:56:26)

My opponent's closing statement was ВЯРНО, ПЪЛНА СВИНЩИНА

The Russian translation site I visited, after changing each word in a spell check, came up with "Truly, pork is full." The Bulgarian translation site wasn't much help either.

alanback: i think "right, complete swine" might make more sense...(i assume you won;)
there´s a good possibility the swine denotes luck (truly: pure luck).
...but my bulgarian is non-existent, i guess "likewise" would be the most suitable answer :)
