Info How to say "Thank You", "You're Welcome" and "I Love You" in your language

[duchess of dork]

Filipino variants of Thank you very much

Tagalog: Maraming Salamat (add the word po when talking to someone older or superior) literally transates to many thanks
Hiligaynon: formal Madamo gid nga salamat; informal Salamat gid will do
Karay-a: Raku gid nga salamat

you should hear us speaking this. Hiligaynon is by far known as the most melodious dialect in the Philippines. Karay-a is so far the crunchiest(?) maybe there is a voice thread for this? so, anyone? if theres none, ill go make a thread

As a matter of fact we do have a voice recording thread over in the Fun Forum. That would be cool if you could record how you say all of these variants (or just chit-chat with everyone.. whatever ). I'd love to hear what you mean by "crunchiest" dialect. If you want to record something and post it here in this thread instead of in the FF, that would fine too. Even better, really. That goes for everyone else who wants to share the correct pronunciation of these phrases for us.

I didn't find russian's variant of the frase "i love you" in the first post, so I'll try to put it in latin letters. It would be like "ya tebya lublu".

 

[steelwingcrash1]

"Daghang salamat po" is a variant of the Filipino "Maraming salamat po".

Could you put some phonetic alphabets in Roman characters next to Hanguel, so I could sort of guess how to pronounce them in Korean? Thanks!

Hindi:

Thank you - Shukriya

I love you - umm... many ways to say this, so I dunno, really. <_<

You're welcome - INDIANS ARE TOO RUDE FOR THIS. And, I dunno if there exists such words in Hindi. <_<

Angrezi Main Kehte. Film song, but he says how to say "I love you" in English (Angrezi), Gujarati (my mother tongue, I think), Bengali, and Punjabi. I WAS MINDBLOWN!! YOHOHOHO

 

[mikkih]

(my mother tongue, I think)

What do you mean by.... I think?

 

[M3J]

I'm not sure if Gujarati is my mother tongue, I just assume it is, especially since it's the dominant language and the fact that my parents learned Hindi by watching Bollywood (my mom anyway).

 

[BakaHaze]

I'd assume salad has already done mandarin?

Just like to correct the thai sentences a little bit.

Thank you: Khop khun

This is correct so far, just that thais would outside of the family or close friends- always add the politeness-particle. These differ for male (khrap) and female (kha).

Thank you -> Khop khun ( kha[f] / khap[m] )



You're welcome: Mai bpen rai

Yet again you can use this, but its not the most polite way to say it and if you say it alot it might leave a bad impression.. The actual meaning of mai bpen rai would be more leaning to nevermind. So insteat you should say:

You're welcome -> Duay khwaam yin dee



(I love you: Chan rak ter)

Well you can say this too but it's a little odd and not so common to say Chan rak ter. But as a male it would be even more odd, cause chan is the female personalpronoun only. Men have to use phom. i would suggest to say:

I love you -> (Chan[f] / Phom[m]) rak khun





Maybe i can add albanian too if i still remeber everything, that is

Thank you -> faleminderit


You're welcome -> Ju lutem

Did't know this one anymore, so i googled it. As far as i remeber (don't quote me on this though) it's not used often anyway and depends a bit on what you're responding too - like shnet patch is the answer when someone sneezes and you say shnet well there should be others, who know this and can explain the details...


I loye you -> te dua

There's a more common one though, i just dont remeber anymore...

 

[jorped]

Portuguese


"Thank You" -> Obrigado ;

"You're Welcome" -> can have two meaning in Portuguese , which are:

"De nada" or "Seja bem vindo"

"I love you" -> eu amo-te
