Dolphik Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Dear Linguists, few years ago I have had blog about positive thinking and many translations of sentence "positive thinking is the key to success". Blog name contained polish word "nastawienie" (attitude) and after some time I got information from English speaking friend that for him it sounds like "nasta weenie" (sorry for bad words). Currently I am creating a new company whose main purpose will be building online software and would like to avoid such connotations in ANY language, to not have situation like Mitsubishi had with Pajero in Spanish speaking countries. So to the point... I would like my company and software to be called ALIVION Could you please look at that word and tell me if it has any bad connotation is your mother tongue? Thank you very much!

宇崎ちゃん Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 There's nothing wrong with this word as far as Polish, Dutch, English and Japanese are concerned. The word does sound a bit French, Italian or Spanish, so perhaps you'll have better luck asking speakers of Romance languages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
