Kafea is coffee shop in Davvisámegiella or North Sámi. I chose it because that is the best place to hang out with cool people, or linger over studies.

I like to cook and eat my nickname!

baun - bean (Icelandic)
According to a dictionary it's allowed to say 'ekki baun!' for 'not at all', as in 'not a bean, old chap!'. If that's not a reason to question solely dictionary use I don't know what is.

सेम (sem) - bean (Hindi)

My nickname is my name, and I think Paul means modest in Latin. I hope Lambeth derives from lamb.

Paul in Icelandic is Páll (formally - pronounced p-ow-tl) or Palli (informally, pronounced as written).

I am registered as 'ember' in a few other communities and forums, and in Russian-
speaking ones, they often try to call me 'янтарь' ('Amber' in Russian), which is a
completely different word.
So I have to explain, which is not easy since Russian does not have a single word for
'ember'.

ドジ

but I don't use it, my nickname was originally clumsy arashiyama, because i have found such a joint of words, and no any epecific reason.

in Chinese, and Korean I use my Asian name 夏雨
it was given my by one girl.
there is also another nickname,紫月 given by another Chinese girl (from Inner Mongolia)
but I resigned from it, as people said it sound silly (purple moon).

It could be this in Russian:ЮДМонкада

The D in Moncada in authentic Spanish (it's a Mexican name in my case) is pronounced as a voiced TH. I don't know that Russian or Japanese has that. I also figured out how ti write my name in Hiragana last week.

Here you are
ҙ - Cyrillic letted for th.

My nickname is the Bengali way of pronouncing my first name, Harshad.
In Sanskrit "Harsha" = Happiness and "Da" = Giver. (Although North Indians generally drop
the final "a" from Sanskrit words. So Harshada becomes Harshad. And all Sanskrit 'a's are
pronounced as 'o's in Bengali. Hence, Horshod.)
