Urgent translation required -any language! - Page 2

STAT = instantly, immediately, on the spot, at once. It's medical shorthand (from the root Latin word "statim") which crosses many languages.

Russian-

прямо сейчас (preeyama seychas) - right now/right away
как можно скорее (kak mozhna skahryehyeh) - as soon as possible
быстро (buystra) - quickly
немедленно (nye medlenna) - immediately
сразу же (srazu zhe) - straight away

Hope this helps.

Couple more Russian ones:

сию минуту - (siYU meeNUtu) right this minute

сейчас же - (seiCHAS zhe) right now -- zhe is an intensifier of anything

Vocalperk's transliteration is very careful, but you can say CKOPEE like "sko-rey-eh" and be well understood. Especially if you roll the R -- all Russian Rs are rolled. They aren't quite as rattly as Spanish RRs, though; pull back just a bit and you'll sound like a native.

I'm not quite sure if Spanish says ahorita for "quickly" as well as for "at this moment," but I suppose they do.

So in US military dialect it could be rendered "right fucking now". :-)

I need to stress that a survey on a foreign language program in our school should be returned asap.

So I want translations for "ASAP", "now', "quickly" etc. in as many languages as possible. Especially non-European ones (as I already have several of those). I'm particularly interested in the sort of colloquial phrases that might not make it into a dictionary but which all people who speak that language will understand. like "chop chop!"

please

Hi, I'm Zoli from Hungary. The Hungarian versions for your requests are the following (pronunciation in [brackets] ):

ASAP (=as soon as possible): Amint lehet [omint lehet] OR Amint lehetséges [omint lehetshaygesh]
now = most [mosht]
quickly = gyorsan [dyorshan]

Regards

Zoli · 05-15-2006, 02:32 AM

In Spanish:

ASAP = lo más pronto posible [lo 'mas 'pronto po'sible]
now = ahora [a'ora], ahorita [ao'rita], ahora mismo [a'ora mismo], ya [ya].
quickly = rápido ['rrapido], rápidamente ['rrapida´mente]
