how do you translate/transliterate the name Rosa in other languages? Especially curious about Esperanto, Chinese (Mandarin), Korean, Japanese, and Arabic.
(In most (all?) latin-character European languages it just stays "Rosa", in Russian it's "Роза").
@morganastra In arabic it'd be probably be روزا (pronounced as r-oh-z-ah) i'm p sure
@morganastra i'm only in my first semester class though and i'm not so used to the ways in which you transliterate some stuff, but arabic is generally phonetic - how you say it is how you write it
@Fidgetcetera yeah. sometimes languages have specific translations for names too though. how do you say "rose" in Arabic?
@morganastra i'm not sure! i'll ask my professor in class tomorrow since i don't wanna give you a googled translation
@morganastra i mean google translate gives ارتفع which is kinda "airtafah" but the last "ah" is pronounced a little weirdly with the ع character that is hard to explain the vocal elements of via internet lol
@Fidgetcetera yeah Arabic pronunciation is hard for me
@morganastra update! professor says وردة (pronounced "warada") for rose!
@morganastra i lucked out in being able to handle most of it but the ع and غ fuck me up a lot lol
