Hi, I hope this is allowed--I'm looking for a good translation of the words "Bad Romance" (yes, like in the Lady Gaga song) into both Russian and Welsh. I'm looking for a less-literal translation, and I'm afraid that the free translation sites might be too literal/may not be grammatically correct ( Read more... )

In the book series A Song of Ice and Fire by G.R.R. Martin there's a red priestess called Melisandre. She worships some red god called "R'hllor". The book doesn't say anything about the fictional language of Asshai (the place where she's from), but even so... how the fuck do you even pronounce it? Any ASOIAF fans in this comm.? Come out, come out, ( Read more... )

Despite meaning to learn Welsh for years, I can't form a complete Welsh phrase, let alone sentence. I believe that the word for November is Tachwedd and the word for darkness is tywyllwch, but if I wanted to say "November darkness," what would be the correct word order, and are any declensions or mutations required?

And we could also do the ( Read more... )

Can someone give me a quick translation of the Welsh sentence "Digwydd /h/ yn dafodiaith ond nodwedd brosodig i nodi pwyslais ydyw nid ffonem." into English?
