BrainKing - Forum (Languages)

Toezichthouder: Walter Montego

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

Is there is a list at BK of how to say certain phrases like "GOOD GAME" OR "CONGATULATIONS" etc, in all or some of the languages used here. If not it would be a worthwhile list to compile.

yoyudax:No there isn't. But I guess I agree that it's a useful list. Maybe we can make one here.

King Reza: How could we go about setting something like that up? It sure would be nice to know that my opponent knew that I appreciated the chance to play with them or that I thought they played an awesome game.

Onderwerp: Re:

yoyudax: It's easy enough to do here without too many tricks. You put into a post box just like this one the things you want in it. Then King Reza puts a link to it in the title or header at the top of this page. Then all of us can view the page and it can be updated or added to as more phrases come up.

Onderwerp: Re:

Walter Montego: It would even be better to put the link to a thread, not to a post! Then we could split it up in different posts. One post for each phrase or one post for each language. I personally think that one for each language would be more comfortable for searching. Also every post could then be made by a native speaker, so that they wouldn't have to be updated by Reza one by one. We would have a representative for every language :)
Great idea, yoyoudax :)

Mr. Shumway: Sure thing. Let's first have a list of what people may want to know in every language, and when the list is complete, each native speaker of a language can create a post and give us the equivalents. And I'll put the links up here!

King Reza: Yes! Having different posts is way better than having a thread, because in a thread the posts get so small ;)
