kanna Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Hello!I need help; I wanted to translate sentence (if you can call it so) into different languages and later use it on a present for my friend's birthday. So, the question is: how would "lies and slander!" sound in your mother tongue/language you know? Thank you so much in advance!Polish: Kłamstwa i pomówienia! (original)English: Lies and slander!German: Lügen und Verleumdungen!Spanish: ¡Mentiras y falsedades!Italian: Menzogne e diffamazioni!Latin: Mendacia et crimina falsa!Cayuga language: Sheyehsahdahnǫh! ryankopf and linguaholic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takibari Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 In Cebuano, a Philippine dialect it would be Lies - Bakak (but since 'lies' is plural it would be two words "Mga Bakak"And - UgSlander - Pagbutang-butang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petrushka Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I'm still learning Japanese so I had to look slander up on a dictionary, haha. Anyone more fluent is free to correct me: 嘘と讒誣 (うそとざんぶ - uso to zanbu)PS: On 12/3/2014 at 4:48 PM, takibari said: In Cebuano, a Philippine dialect it would beHope you don't mind me hijacking your post, takibari! I just wanted to clarify that Cebuano is a Philippine language rather than a dialect. The Bisaya language has a lot of dialects - the major of which are these four: Boholano and Southern Kana, Northern Kana, Mindanao Cebuano, and Davaoeño - just like Tagalog has Batangas Tagalog (Batangeño), Bulacan Tagalog, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteGeko Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 "Mentiras y calumnias!" would be for Spanish."Ложь и клевета!" would be for Russian. I believe that is pronounced, "Lozh' ee kleveta!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
