Teach me your language I teach you mine

[mundodabolsa]

I need some collective French help...

tomorrow I'm going to be helping a french speaker communicate with american barbers about some theatrical haircuts.

Can you guys think of some vocab words I might not know that I could need? Obviously I know couper and cheveux and plus court and so forth...

how about:
wig
straighter
some terms for barber's tools?

merci

Plait: natte
Braid: tresse
Bun: chignon
straighter: raide

i got spanish 2 years in school, hope i can help you
departamento cuenta = account departement
con todo lo necesario = with everything (he?) needs/with all necessaries

but i am not sure with the word "alberca" ... but i guess it should mean "swimmingpool"

 

[laurette]

Does anyone speak GREEK ?
If so, please PM me.
It's only one sentence but I don't want to post it here

anyone?

[Modemoiselle]

[silviegoeswild]

[kismine]

i already know ciao bella

 

[Teja]

Can someone translate this into Russian language? In cyrillic, please.

The best revenge is success.

 

[tocceve]

^ is this right?

Лучшая месть успех

I don't know Russian and asked one of those not so reliable online translators maybe someone Russian can correct or conform it because I'm interested in it too

[seanutbutter]

Teja, if you want to copy and paste the phrase (since vlam posted an image), here it is typed out: Лучшая месть - это успех.

 

[vlam]

Sorry for the pic - it seems that board doesn't want to read cyrillic today....

What do you wanna say? I can help you, I speak spanish which is very similar to italian besides I travelled to Italy a few years ago and I learned a bit of italian there.

 

[Teja]

Marcel, Vlam and Seanutbutter: thank you so much!

This is almost two weeks late, but here you go:

EL DEPARTAMENTO CUENTA CON TODO LO NECESARIO = the apartment has everything you'll need
CUENTA CON ALBERCA = it has a pool

I need some help with a French translation, is there a way to say something like 'Saturdays of love'? I though it'd sound prettier in French

 

[stersita]

alberca = swimming pool?!

I'm not French but maybe it's something like Samedi's d'amour?

 

[nocturne]

^Yes, alberca=swimming pool. In some countries they use both alberca and piscina to refer to a swimming pool. For example, alberca is more common in Mexico.

Saturdays of love = Samedis de l'amour. I think we are on the right track!

 

[solg]

There's also another you can use to refer to a swimming pool, which is pileta. It's less neutral though

Thanks guys! I knew it'd sound better in French
