'yes' in other languages - it's on topic

Hi, I'd like to embroider the word 'yes' in many languages on a quilt ( it's the elk's quilt on my WIP-Page ) Can you help me with further languages: So far I have German/English/French/Italian/Russian TIA Heidi from Germany

Hawaiian - ae Gaelic (Scottish) has no actual 'yes', but you could use seadh (means 'that is so')

Spanish is .... si

Thanks all :-)) Heidi from Germany "Kate G." schrieb:

You could try using babelfish to get some more translations.

Turkish: "evet" or "tabii". Scots: "aye". Lazuri: "ho".

"Tak" in Polish

In Greek it's nai (pronounced neh). If you want to write it in Greek it's the letters nu alpha iota.

In Korean, it sounds like "ni", what are you using to embroider them? Can you use non roman characters? If you can't, will you stick to languages that use them? I can probably locate "ni" in Korean characters somewhere online and if not I can scan them.

Thanks for all the help and the funny ones. I'll probably use some of the 'slang' ones, though betcherbritches is a bit long :-) And this means really yes ?? I'll post pictures when I finished it. Heidi

Heidi, if you take betcherbritches apart, it's really "bet your britches" and britches is a slang word for pants/slacks or panties/underwear. In this instance, the britches usually means underwear -- using the phrase in a conversation would go something like..... Person A: "Are you going to the quilt show?" Person B: "You bet your britches I'll be there!" Of course in conversation, the words in the phrase would be spoken quickly and would sound like one long word -- betcherbritches. English is a strange and mystifying language -- what more can a person say?!?!?!? LOLOL!! CiaoMeow >^;;^<
