Hey guys!
A friend of mine is taking part on a challenge and he has to discover what's being said in other languages. He has this audio now. Could any of you guys help with the translation? Thanks! Edited by fabriciocarraro on 17 June 2012 at 12:41am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

it's probably a variant of cantonese, though not the one used in hongkong.
"ant, mouse, ear(?)" the last one I am not 100% sure but it does sound like that 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thank you vientito! The last one was rabbit, we went through =)
Now there's a new one with a slavic language... can't figure out which. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/23754567/dna2012_i_m_djdf.mp3 I think the 2nd one is "pencil" or "pencils" and the last one "box" or "boxes", but the 1st one is impossible... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The second recording is Modern Greek, βιβλίο book, μολύβι pencil, κουτί box.
In Macedonian, according to google translate they are книга, молив and кутија. So the last 2 are very similar to the Greek and unlike the words in the Slavic languages I know, which I find interesting. And if this is part of a challenge your friend is taking part in, isn't this cheating? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Wow, I didn't know it was Greek, stelingo! The words were very similar in Macedonian, and even in Bulgarian or Ukrainian, so that's why I thought it was a slavic language. Very interesting indeed! I don't think asking your friends is cheating because you're allowed to use Google, Wikipedia and stuff like that, but if so, that's his problem and not mine =P Edited by fabriciocarraro on 17 June 2012 at 5:52am 1 person has voted this message useful |
