She claims to not remember what it says anymore because it was 20 years ago, and she was drunk. We believe it to be Chinese, but aren’t sure.

Turkish Turkish > English Tattoo Translation Request

• Upvotes

Hi there,

I really love the word vahşi. I found it on Pinterest as a teenager. I was thinking about getting a tattoo of it!

First, I want to make sure it doesn’t have any slang or social connotations tied to it that would change the meaning.

It’s my understanding that it means wild or feral.

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

Could you check the translation on this allergy/dietary restriction card? The strict translation isn't important, but being simple and understandable is the priority.

Translated [ZH] [Chinese > English] Who's signature stamp is this?

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

I inherited this somewhat older painting from my grandmother after she passed away. It was likely painted somewhere between the 1960s - 1990s in China (?) or at least by a Chinese Artist. It looks almost exactly like a work by Ai Xuan, but the eyes and rendering details look different. There's a signature stamp in the bottom, but I can't read it and don't know who it's by.

Is this a replica/forgery/homage? Or something else? (And by whom?)

Japanese [English > Japanese] Short tagline

1 Upvotes

Hi all. Quick request for the following phrase in Japanese:

> The most powerful word in the Japanese language is "no."

In Kanji and then romanized would be amazing, if possible.

I'm assuming this isn't a saying in Japanese the way it is in English, but, nonetheless, I'm thinking about it for a context where a direct translation of an English (or US?) saying would be normal and expected.

Thanks!

Hello!

Seeing as there is no official translation of this particular kny databook (sad), I wanted to try my hand here to see what this may say!

I am aware it's kind of blurry, I apologize. I had to crop this from a much larger page! Figured here I would be able to get a more accurate translation, hopefully. :) Thank you!!

Unknown [Unknown > English] Voice from my kids room 😳

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Currently investigating a voice I heard in my kids room (creepy), but couldn't pickup the language of the voice. Anyone know what language, or what they are saying?

Two recordings of the same voice as I attempted to increase the volume of one of them.

Im still investigating where the voice came from as we have quite a few devices in the mix. I know usually it's a baby monitor picking up other radio signals... but not in this instance.

Edit: Location - USA East Coast

Japanese [Japanese > English] Blue lock Manga dialogue exchange kanji interpretation

Post image
0 Upvotes

I've know that kanji has multiple meanings, and I was wondering if in this dialog exchange that the kanji could be interpreted in 2 ways in the context. For added context the official translator translated it as "You've had the saddest smile on your face." But when I looked on a kanji to english website it said that 寂しcould also mean lonely, and in unofficial translations I've seen it was translated that way. So I was wondering if in the context it could be read in both ways or just as sad. Thank you to anyone willing to help, and I'm sorry if the image is cropped poorly 😭.

Hi everyone! I’m trying to identify the language/dialect and get a translation for a short whispered audio clip (around 2 seconds).

Possible Language Candidates:

Regional South Asian: Pashto, Saraiki, Hindko, Balochi, Brahui, Sindhi, or Memoni / Kutchi.

Other possibilities: Persian / Dari or other regional dialects.

Any help identifying the language or transcribing/translating the phrase would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
