hey dude....
hi. its fairly complex depending on the type of greeting /statement /and geographical area ..
swahili, (spoken in somali, kenya, uganda, burundi, rwanda, tanzania and parts of Zaire, malawi,ethiopia and sudan) the dialects differ but the jist of the story is the same.)
hello.------ hujambo /habari/shikamoo/mambo/sasa
how are you? (literally )------ uko , aje? otherwise hujambo.
I am doing well, thank you----- hujambo?---- response: sijambo ,asante.
------ habari? ------ response: mzuri, asante.
good luck in the game----- bahati njema mchezoni.
you are a strong chess player ---- wewe ni mchezaji chess wa nguvu
shall we play again? --------tunaweza cheza tena?
would you be up for a game?------- ungependa kucheza tena?
hakuna matata --- no worries
hakuna matiti ----- (cant say in a public forum. too rude!*&% )
Good lawd!! my swahili is rusty but hey, every little helps..
regards and please anyone spot an error feel free to let me know...
peace am out.
ps: forgot what chess is in swahili.


French..

Hola, wie gehts, priviet, como sa va, shalom, salam, zdravei, ce mai faci, chetori, yakshemash, kok si, nee hao, anyung hasayoh, koneecheewah, manh khoe khong, and, well, I'm afraid that may be all I know. At least all I can think of at the moment, and apologies if my transliterations are not quite right, but hey, I'm just a dumb American. But at least this dumb American would like to learn more languages, and is happy to help others who may want to improve their English. That said, it does amaze me how well my chess opponents from all over the world write English, so maybe my offer will not be an especially useful one. Whatever. It might be nice if we as a group could come up with a table, indexed by language in one direction, and by phrase in the other direction, so that a member could refer to this table and greet an opponent in his or her own language. My ignorance prevents me from being able to complete such a table myself, which is why I am reaching out and seeking help. I was hoping to include such phrases and words as:
hello
how are you?
I am doing well, thank you
good luck in the game
you are a strong chess player
shall we play again?
would you be up for a game?
OK, so with that, I leave it to the group to hopefully fill in all the blanks. Thank you, gracias, merci, danke, spaceba, mange takk, obrigado, mulumesc, shokaran, toda, gahmsahmneedah, sheh sheh, arigato, ...
