Hiya all! Could someone please tell me where I could get a list of Latin to English words? I need a nice long one. I've learnt most of the grammar, I just need the words. Cheers! Lenadi 01:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
How would the following lyrics be translated from Turkish?
Sene 1341 mevsime uydum
Sebep oldu şeytan bir cana kıydım
Katil defterine adını koydum
Eşkıya dünyaya hükümdar olmaz
Sen üzülme anam benim dertlerim çoktur
Çektiğim çilenin hesabı yoktur
Yiğitlik yolunda üstüme yoktur
Eşkıya dünyaya hükümdar olmaz
Çok zamandır çektim kahrı zindanı
Bize de mesken oldu Sinop'un hanı
Firar etmeyilen buldum amanı
Eşkıya dünyaya hükümdar olmaz
Sinop kalesinden uçtum denize
Tam üç gün üç gece göründü Rize
Karşı ki dağlardan gel oldu bize
Eşkıya dünyaya hükümdar olmaz
Bir yanımı sardı müfreze kolu
Bir yanımı sardı Varilcioğlu
Beşyüz atlıylan kestiler yolu
Eşkıya dünyaya hükümdar olmaz

How is "Latin" pronunced ( endonym/ exonym)? Could you add this to the Latin article? Is the "t" retroflex? — Masatran 13:05, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
In westerns I often hear Indians use the ending '-ello', most often '-yello' and even more specifically in 'ni yello'. What do these mean? I hear it so often that I get the impression it's not restricted to one Indian language. DirkvdM 17:19, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
how do you say "goodbye" in Welsh? (Unsigned)

wht is shortest word using all vowels
Oi! I'd guess a word you want is yea?
The questioner might intend a word which uses all of the vowels in the English alphabet (from Jh51681's link):
"The shortest word containing the five regular vowels is eunoia at six letters, followed by sequoia (and a variety of rarer words such as Aeonium, eulogia, miaoued) at seven. The shortest words with all six vowels are eukaryotic and aureomycin." Tesseran 04:06, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
What sort of accent did the Ancient Romans have. Was it like todays Italian?
Can the mouthpiece for an instrument such as a trumpet also be called a "moutpiece"? I saw this spelling in a flyer for a trumpet, and I thought it was a spelling mistake, but I did a google search for the term "moutpiece" and it brought up 800 pages. There's even a band called "moutpiece" on www.moutpiece.com But is it a correct spelling? 800pages isn't that much, and there's no Wiki page on it.
Also, where did the expression " Man Alive!" Originate from? I want to start using this expression, and I'd like to know what it means.
Thankyou.-- 172.150.151.23 23:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Phonetically, that would be how Irish people pronounce it. In the Republic of Ireland, TH sounds are optional. martianlostinspace 16:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I would suspect that "man alive !" comes from looking for survivors of some disaster, like a shipwreck. Finding a corpse would not require any rapid response, but finding a survivor would require a shout for immediate assistance, such as "man alive !". StuRat 06:21, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
