It's a nice list, but these are words that are associated with "fall" in only one country
in the entire world! 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

To the OP: I'm not trying to derail the thread, and I've probably missed the reason for your request, but why do you need our help to translate these words? Surely Google translate can handle single words in many different languages. It's not as if you're asking for a sentence or even a paragraph to be translated.
On this note, how many English-speaking countries use "fall" rather than "autumn"? Edited by patuco on 02 November 2012 at 9:35pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Ah, the power of single word, out-of-context word translation. In Turkish, it's Türkiye. Oh, you mean the other turkey. Well, that would be hindi. I wonder what it's called in... Hindi? (Sorry, couldn't resist.) R. == 5 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Many Brits and Aussies I've met have been curious about this. Centuries ago "fall" was common in England. Now, it is only used in the US. According to Online Etymology:
When you think about it "fall" serves as a nice counterpoint to "spring". American English has preserved many words that were once common in British English. I used to accuse my English friends of always preferring a Latin origin word instead of the English alternative. I always referred to autumn as "the fall of the year". In US English "autumn" is used as well but when given a choice between a Latin-based word and an English one, the English one is generally preferred in my former region of the US. Here in the tropics we don't have autumn, just summer. What we call "winter" would be a glorious summer in many parts of the temperate zone. Nothing "falls" here except coconuts and you wouldn't want to be underneath a coconut palm when one falls. Why do we say "fall" instead of "autumn" Edited by iguanamon on 02 November 2012 at 10:34pm 4 persons have voted this message useful |
