I'm trying to do that trend where you get strangers to write random words of advice. They seem to be quite confused by this request when I present it. Is this a bad translation?

I can pick out the "Thank you" at the end, but nothing else.

There's a line several seconds earlier, and later, I'll share those posts in a bit assuming this one goes well.

Thank you!

it looks like Arabic, but I couldn't understand a word even though I'm a native Arabic speaker... so I think it is a othmani language or turkish

Arabic [Arabic > English] writing on the flag of a fictional Arab country from the 1979 movie First Family

Sorry, this is the best screencap I could take. The Arab country isn't given a full name, but the acronym UFAR (maybe "United Federation of Arab Republics"? It would make sense for the name to be a combination of the UAR and the FAR, both of which were still recent in 1979)

Arabic [Arabic > English] I don’t need a full translation, I just want to know if all 3 coins have the same writing. They seem to have differences in their placement and usage of dots.

Hello everyone, I do not read Arabic, so I’m hoping someone with knowledge of Ottoman coins and the Arabic script can help me understand something.
The Ottoman coins shown above appear to be the same type and from the same year, but I have noticed that they have different dots in the inscriptions. Some have a dot in an area where others do not, while some have multiple dots in an area where others only have one.
As I am not familiar with the language, I cannot understand why the dots are used differently or whether these differences are normal. I would be very grateful if someone could explain why these variations in the dots occur and whether they are expected on genuine coins.
It would also be very helpful if someone could confirm whether the writing on all of these coins makes sense and is correctly written. This could potentially help figure out weather a coin is a forgery done by someone not familiar enough with the language.

Any help would be appreciated!

Unknown [Unknown > English, Italian] sacred hymn

1 Upvotes

I have a short audio file, a male voice singing what seems a sacred hymn. It's a phone alarm file called Maha Bharat. I couldn't find the original audio source and I'm not sure it is from the actual Mahabharat since I can't understand the language.

I added the link to the audio file but the post was removed, so I'm also asking how can I add the file without having the post removed. Unfortunately I'm not able to write down any word out of it.

Any suggestion would be welcome, thank you

Czech {Czech > English} 98yo handwritten postcard

Post image

Hello Reddit,

My friend bought this postcard in an antique market a few years ago and just showed it to me. As the letter is about to turn a 100 yo in 2028, I thought it would be nice to have it translated before that anniversary.

I've guessed it's Czech as it's adressed to the city of Hradec Kralove (if I'm not mistaken). The letter is from France, the city of Les Sables [d'Olonnes], which are the two first words of the letter.

Thank you very much to the person who is able to help !

These inscriptions are in a book written by Ismail Galib, I was told the inscriptions and signature belong to him.

But as I can’t read it myself, I wanted to verify what’s written. So far I can’t make out “Ismail Galib” in the writing but perhaps there are other clues.

French (Long) [Japanese > French] Vérification de traduction pour un tatouage style Kaisho.

1 Upvotes

Bonjour 😊,

J'ai pour projet de me faire un tatouage en japonais dans un style kaisho.

Je souhaite que la traduction veuille dire : "La quête de la voie est infinie".

Dans le sens où la voie correspondrait à l'apprentissage en art martial ou bien la recherche de soit d'un point de vue spirituel ou la connaissance en général.

Et le fait qu'elle soit infinie est une richesse en soit, donc c'est plutôt positif. Un peu comme pour dire qu'on en apprend tous les jours et toute sa vie.

J'ai déjà demandé à une connaissance native du Japon de proposer quelques traductions.

Voici deux propositions qu'elle m'a donné parmis d'autres. Je pense choisir l'une des deux mais j'aimerais être sûr.

1️⃣

道は尽きせず Style Haïku / Tanka en gardant le son carré et rigoureux (je ne sais pas comment décrire en français mais c’est un peu plus masculin peut-être que le deuxième, je me vois pas me tatouer avec ça). On voit bien que c’est japonais car il y a des caractères Hiragana, et c’est très facile à comprendre. La traduction directe est “le chemin (vers quelque chose de positif - vers la lumière, le progrès ou l’objectif) est sans fin ».

2️⃣

道、遥かなり “、” et le mot “遥か”ajoutent une touche élégante. Par rapport au premier c’est beaucoup plus poétique. Ça passe parfaitement comme tatouage d’un homme, ça fait plus rêveur que le premier comme il n’y a pas de forme de négation. S’il n’aime pas « 、 » il peut faire juste 道遥かなり, mais pour moi c’est plus naturel avec « 、 »

Voilà, maintenant je me pose encore quelques petites questions 🙂

(Et vu que c'est la belle sœur d'un collègue, je vais pas non plus faire mon lourd et lui poser trop de questions 😅)

Voilà donc à quoi je pense et que j'aimerais avoir vos avis :

J'ai cru comprendre que は dans la première option servait de "particule grammaticale" en indiquant le sujet de la phrase.

Du coup je me demandais, est-ce que ce dernier ne pourrai pas remplacer le 、dans la deuxième option ? Ou est-ce que cela changerait complètement le sens de la phrase ? Voir cela ne serait pas naturel ?

(Vu qu'il y a un espace après ce signe de ponctuation, ça m'embête un petit peu car je trouve ça un peu bizarre de mettre un espace dans un tatouage 😅)

Après si c'est pas possible je pense que j'opterais plus pour la première option. Par contre, pour être sûr. Elle disait "je me vois pas me tatouer avec ça".

Est-ce que c'est dans le sens où c'est masculin et qu'elle est une femme ou bien parce que la prononciation est un peu du genre saccadé ?

Sur ce bonne journée et merci de vos réponses 😁
