One Phrase, Many Languages

[nyxelestia]

So, on my fanfiction.net profile, I have a thing going on where I say "Hi, I'm Nyxie!" in multiple languages, with a note that anyone can contribute another language to the list. So far, it's just been on FFN, but I figured if anyone here wants to contribute, go ahead. I'll always link back to your LJ or FFN Profile, which ever you prefer, when you provide a language. :)

This is also the post for anyone on FFN who does not have an account to send me a PM, but would still like to contribute a language. You can comment here "Anonymously" (meaning not signed into an account). You can leave me just a name, or if you have an account of some sort somewhere else (i.e. IJ, DW, a specific archive, or anything else), you can leave me with a URL to whatever you want me to link the contribution to. :)

And if you can, please leave an e-mail address so I can contact you to thank you, and let you know when I've put up the language on my profile! :D

TBH, in Dutch, it's: Ik ben Niksie.. and I don't even think you have to spell your name differently, but whatever..

not: Ik heet Niksie. Because that would mean: Hi! my name is Nixy..

sorry..

xD

Because that would mean: Hi! my name is Nixy..

That's what I'm trying to say - how does "Ik ben" differ from "Ik heet"?

[katelinmr.livejournal.com]

It's more common.. When you meet someone you say: Ik ben..

well most of the people anyway..

and because you said you were trying to say: Hi! I'm Nixy.. or at least that's what I read, I thought I would hop in and be annoying xD

sorry :P

No, it's okay, thank you! I'll add it as the informal version and change the first one to "formal" version (would that be an accurate way of naming the two versions?)

[katelinmr.livejournal.com]

Kind of.. but you really don't have to ;) I just thought of telling you because you seemed interested in the languages :D

♥

btw, it's a really cool idea!!! :D

[nyxelestia.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you like the idea. And, the alteration has been added. :)

Russian!

"Привет. Меня завут Никси." Phonetically, "Preevyet. Menya zavoot Nixie."

سلام!میرانامﻧﻜﺲ.ہے

(Salam! Mera naam Niksi hai.)

Since you already have Hindi and Spanish, I thought I'd throw in Urdu as well. :DDD

[nyxelestia.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's been added. :)

Just one question - of the script, which part is my name? I like to bold that part consistently so people know which part of the phrase is what. :)

ﻧﻜﺲ

This is your name (the part that should be bolded, lol)

I just realized, I never thanked you for this! \o/ So thank you. :D
