I've decided not to let diabetes get in the way of my dream of traveling the world. In order to do this, I want to be able to say certain phrases in as many languages as possible. This is a list of these phrases. My sources are:
-English (my native language)
-Spanish (years of studying it and a dictionary)
-German (Melilotona, a native speaker)
-Arabic (99meemo99, a native speaker)
-Dutch (xDROPDEADGORGEOUS, a native speaker)
-European Portuguese (xDROPDEADGORGEOUS and her mother, a native speaker)
-Brazilian Portuguese (H4RRY5, a native speaker)
-French (b1oody4r0se, Melilotona, and Beidirsein, longtime students)
-Norwegian (b1oody4r0se, student)
-Finnish (Xichotl, a native speaker)
-Malay (Kamikazepilze, a native speaker)
-Estonian (Beidirsein's friend, a native speaker)
-Italian (xxWeskerLadyKazama93, a native speaker)
-Hebrew (DISCOnnected90, a native speaker)
Thanks to all those listed above! :)

Please do the following:
-Let me know if I'm saying it all correctly; if not, correct.
-Give me better phrases, if they exist (as in, a phrase you would actually hear in the country).
-Fix the grammar, if needed.
-Tell me if any countries are missing from the language lists.
-If a certain dialect uses something different (word, grammar concept, or idiomatic way of saying it), let me know what it is and where it is used. (I'm fairly certain this applies to Spanish, but other languages might have it, too.)
-Tell me what I'm doing properly!
-Give me other languages to do! (If they have a significantly non-Roman alphabet, please provide transliteration as well.)
Thanks in advance! Enjoy!

  • What a great initiative! :)

    Your Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation was pretty good. The only advice I can give you is to watch out for close/open vowels! The "e" in "eu" is actually a close (close-mid?) vowel, while the first "e" in "leve" and the first "o" in "posso" are open(-mid).

    Your intonation on "Posso comer aqui, por favor?" is a bit different too, but it's not such a big deal - I doubt a Brazilian would have problems understanding what you mean :)

    Keep it up! ;)

  • @BRDisney What do you mean by closed/open vowels?

  • @xxWeskerLadyKazama93 Hm...Is "qui" like the first syllable in "quality," but with "i" instead of "a"? That's the best I can think of (assuming I'm right).

  • @ChanahEmiliania Ok...:D

    For "svengo":Yes just like when you say "go"..svenGO!:D Yes! No the ñ in spanish is not the same for the Italian...Don't worry soon you'll say it without problems..:D

    For chi and qui:No...Only "chi" is said just like the work "key"...Qui is different as pronunciation...It's hard to explain....I have no words in english so similar with its pronunciation..

  • @xxWeskerLadyKazama93 I'll have to look up where Italian is spoken in Africa.

    "Svengo" was a word I had trouble with last year, too...is the second syllable like the English word "go"? For some reason I thought "ng" in Italian was like the "ñ" in Spanish. And I'll pay more attention to "possibile", not "posible"!

    Are both "chi" and "qui" said like the English word "key"?

  • @xxWeskerLadyKazama93 The last wrong word..."Qui" you said it again with a Spanish pronunciation...In Italian

    is just as if it was pronounced "chi"(who)...it is not correct...but it is Qui..I will see you how you have to pronounce it..;-) For the rest..GREAT!!^^

  • Well done friend for Italian...Just some advices..

    1 Well as I saw some years ago Italian language is also spoken in some states of Africa...I think one that I remember is Etiopia and then...I don't remember..XD

    2 correction for the pronunciationin some words: "svengo" is not sveNio,just svenGo without n and i... "possibile"..the accent not in possibI'le but in possI'bile...in the second "possibile" you said "possible" just like the Spanish word "possible" that in Italian it's not correct...

  • @xDROPDEADGORGEOUS Since you and Kendeelyoung said the same thing, it must be true! Yes, I'd greatly appreciate your help with that word. :)

  • Your Dutch was good, just the word ''suikerziekte'' was a bit off, but I'll help you with that if you want to. :)

  • @MaetelSX999 My nasals have gotten worse?? :( Oh, well, an excuse to watch The Aristocats in French! :)
