Help I need Language!

[hetalia_kink]

Help! I Can't Language Good!

Do you need some help with another language?
Do you know how to read / write a language that isn't modern English, and want to help your fellow anon?
If so, this is the place for you.

How this works:

• You don't need to be anon when you are offering language aid.
   
• When offering language aid, post a comment saying what language you will helping out with
  • Put the language you want to help out in in the subject line
     
• Only one language per thread please. "I can help out with French and Vietnamese," for example is wrong. French and Vietnamese should go into two separate comments.
   
• If you are requesting spelling, semantic or grammar aid in another language you must remain Anonymous.
   
• You may post a comment requesting language aid, providing you do it in anon mode and there isn't already a thread going on for that language.
   
• If there is already an aid thread for your desired language going, don't start a new comment asking for help unless you posted to that existing thread, and haven't received a response in 7 days
   
• Please stick to the topic at hand (language aide). This isn't the place for chit chat.
   
• If you have had experience with a particularly good online language resource that actually works than feel free to link it here as a reply to the first comment.
  • In the subject line, state what language it is and try to describe what the resource does.
  • Links to resources go in the comment area.
   
• No pimped out fonts or embedded videos are allowed. They will be deleted.
   
• Just a note. If you do have phrases in other languages in your fills, it's only polite to include a translation in English at the bottom of your fill somewhere.

GOOD online language resources

[hetalia-kink.livejournal.com]

The key word is GOOD.

Subject line: 'Language - what the resource is'

You can also list communities that help with one particular language.

Message: 'Brief description of resource. + Link'

I've included an example below as a reply to this comment.

[hetalia-kink.livejournal.com]

Just for clarification, can you put your the language you want to help out in, in the subject line of your message please?

Re: German Beta

[berseker.livejournal.com]

Hi there. :)

How do you address someone respectfully in German? I want to write a scene where a character calls a German guy by his first name and is asked to be more deferential. Is there a way to address people that would be humiliating, like calling them "master" or something (there´s a lot of power play going on)?

French Beta

[ono-tachibana.livejournal.com]

Hello,

So, I'm here for offering you help about French sentences/words/etc.

(Only for Francis, since I live in France, I'm afraid I may be inacurrate about the French spoken in Quebec, I know there are some differences)


Check older advices and translations here : http://hetalia-kink.livejournal.com/6850.html?thread=8867778#t8867778


Also, if you want a translation, put some context because most translations depends a lot on the context :3

I'm also copy-paste this because it's so simple to follow...


How to use the word "cher" ?



Towards a guy :

Dear :
Mon cher XXX (name is optional)
Cher XXX (a name MUST follow)
(My) darling : Mon chéri.

Exemples :
You know, mon cher (Arthur), I would rather die than (...)
You should forget it, mon cher (Antonio).
Don't worry, cher Alfred.
Don't pay attention, mon chéri.


Toward a girl :

Dear :
Ma chère XXX (name is optional)
Chère XXX (name must follow)
Darling : Ma chérie.



Well, don't hesistate to ask, I would be glad to help you! <3

Re: French Beta

What do French parents say when they want their small child to eat what they feed them? Like in America, we say "Here comes the airplane/choo choo train -makes plane/train noises-" as we put the spoons to their lips.

And what are some terms of endearments French parents give to their children?
All I know is "mon trognon".

Thanks in advance!

I'm more than happy to help with any translations, idioms and phrases you may need. Grammar, slang and dialects as well. (Native speaker)

Re: Swedish beta

[(Anonymous)]

Not really language, but necessary anyway:

Are the copy (CTRL+C), paste (CTRL+V), browser history (CTRL+H), and find (CTRL+F) shortcuts on US PCs the same on Swedish keyboards? If not, what are they?

I'm from Quebec

Re: Canadian French (Québecois) beta

[(Anonymous)]

Would you mind posting some examples of ways to express outrage. For example phrases like "what the hell?" or "My god!" and the like.

If thats to board the sentence I had in mind is something along the line

"What the hell America? Jesus fucking christ!"

.. sorry if thats to.. "badmouthy"... -_-'

Italian Beta

[loxaris.livejournal.com]

I'm a native speaker and I'll be very happy to help since it's the only thing I can do here for now... (I still don't feel like writing in English ;_;)

3. I want him dead! No excuses!
4. This is for your own good, brother.
5. I want you to be happy.

8. I love you.

Also, what are some really strong insults to use when a person is really angry?

Filipino beta. xD

[ileikeggz2.livejournal.com]

I'm a native speaker of Filipino (or Tagalog, as others would know) whose knowledge consists of formal and slang.

...Does anyone even need a Filipino beta? ._.

Re: Filipino beta. xD

[pencildarts.livejournal.com]

I do~

What are Filipino cusses usually used? :D

Norwegian beta

[smiletokamera.livejournal.com]

Norwegian (bokmål) is my mother tongue and I'll be very happy to help you out~ I'm also a bit decent in Nynorsk, so I'll help with that too.

And for the lulz I can help you with various dialects, there's too many of them here in Norway. |'D

Re: Norwegian beta

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry, I have a really annoying request. OTL
I'm afraid it's more time-consuming than I feel is normally right to request in this kind of a "helpful anon" thread... so I understand if this goes unanswered.

Could you please write out for me what is being said in this video? (it's only 0:47 long, and not much is said)
I would really appreciate it if you could write it in Norwegian and also give me a very, very basic English translation.

I know "language beta" and "translation" are kind of opposites, but I would like to use this text in a comic - which is why I'm asking here. I apologize for the inane request. orz

Helping

[pmpatg.livejournal.com]

I will be glad to help out with spanish.
Yo se que podre ayudarlos mucho.

Finnish beta

[saya-aensland.livejournal.com]

Native speaker. Can do formal and informal, but if you want me to do southern dialects (the most likely dialect Tino would speak), I'm afraid I can't help you there.

Re: Finnish beta

[(Anonymous)]

In case the need arises - how does your dialect differ from southern dialects?

Finnish help

[rei-liet.livejournal.com]

Also native finnish speaker. Can do almost any dialect, slang or just help with grammar. Also formal or informal is okay. I'd be glad to help!

Re: Finnish help

[(Anonymous)]

Since it seems ridiculous to leave Sweden-and-Finland's dog's name in Japanese, and sounds idiotic to put it in English (if one is writing in English): what would Hana-Tamago's name be in Finnish, and does it sound as idiotic in Finnish as "Flower-Egg" does in English?

Spanish help

[jelly-rabbit.livejournal.com]

It seems there's already a lot of Spanish speakers floating around here, but if anyone needs it, I can help with Spanish since I'm a native speaker.

Norwegian help

[linnpuzzle.livejournal.com]

Norwegian is my native language, so I may be of assistance. Since I am a bit of a language-geek, if asked, I can offer different translations of the same sentence.

I can also assist in how to write æ, ø and å, if that is required.

Chinese, take three

[skelody.livejournal.com]

Spoken: Mandarin
Written: Traditional Chinese
Transliteration/Phonetic rendering: Hanyu pinyin (i.e., standard pinyin), and zhuyin.

Re: Chinese, take three

[(Anonymous)]

Can you help me with a few phrases?

I'm writing an abuse fiction and I need the following in pinyin because I am not sure of my own Mandarin at the moment:

"You are hurting me."

"I want to die."

"I hate you."

"You are my friend?"
(I thought it would be "Ni shi wo de peng you ma?")

"I am hungry/I am always hungry."

"Those are my things."

I also need titles (hope this isn't too much):

Sir
Miss
Master (as in, young master)

dutch

[mennybeads.livejournal.com]

It probably won't be needed much, gosh darn it, but since Belgium also speaks it... Dutch! Native speaker, of course. I'm not Flemmish, though, so if you want a Flemmish accent I'm afraid I can't help too much.

Re: dutch

[(Anonymous)]

Um, I'm writing something with Belgium, and would like to get a translation for "Oh my God" or "I can't believe it". Or a general insult like "you moron."
