Barak

write my name in other langauges (read all 2 entries…)
I have always wanted to do this

Back in my childhood I collected my name in many languages (much before the internet era).
I have decided to make an attempt on re-doing it.. the only problem with this goal is that every name you get eventually needs to be verified in case any internet joker gives you a false name/curse words in his language..

Maybe you can help me complete this goal..?

In case you didn’t notice my name is Barak

Incorrect Cyrillic

Hi Barat,

I lived in Kyrgyzstan for two years. In both Kyrgyz and Russian, your name would be written the same way in cyrillic. Right now, for Russian, you are using the letter “D” for “A”! The correct russian “A” looks just like an english one. The correct name would be: Барак. (all your other letters are correct.)

Best of luck on your 43 things…

It’s correct but it’s not been displayed correctly,the letter ” ب ” should be at the most right side. The direction should be from right to left.

Not quite

In Classical Greek, that would be correct, but in Modern Greek, the Beta has a V sound (so you wrote Varak). You would need to write Μпαρακ in Modern Greek because B is represented by ΜΠ in Modern Greek at the beginning of words.

Apparently when writing the word “Barak” the closest you get sounds like “Ba-ri-ke”.

i can spell it for you in Korean

(in Hangul, The phonetic alphabet.)

it will sound something between “Barak” and “Balak”. I hope it helps…

(And I hope i am not mistaken, it’s been a while since i knew how to read and write in hangul…:)

start at Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangul

there are a lot of pages on the net, try searching for ‘learn Korean hangul’ or alphabet and you will get good resources. e.g. http://www.omniglot.com/writing/korean.htm

What a weird language.
How does an Israeli guy like you learn all of a sudden Korean? when does that come useful?

hey barak

a. i am a gal, not a guy
b. i used to work for samsung, a job that involved trips to Seoul. so i learnt for fun. i can’t speak. only “thank you” and “nice to meet you”, stuff like that. but since hangul is phonetic, it is very easy to learn.

Aug 22, 2005, 04:52AM PDT | Thread | Respond to this

Barak

oops..

sorry for the mistake..
I don’t understand – The fact that Hangul is phonetic deosn’t help you much since you don’t know the language..
The weirdest thing about Hangul is that it has this weird comibation of letters ..
for example – in my name there is one letter for B+A and one for R+A+K..
how did you decide to deal them like that ..? why not deal them as B+A+R and A+K ?
doesn’t this complicate the whole thing ?

Aug 22, 2005, 08:15AM PDT | Thread | Respond to this

nitsan

there are complicated rules to do that...

if i did “bar”+“ak” it would definitely be “balak” and not “barak”... :) that i can tell you 100%... generally speaking, i think it is more natural to go ba-rak and not bar-ak.
and they are not really letters per se, they are syllables.

wow!

I am amazed you have even found all those languages. What kind of name is Barak? It must be nice to have a unique name, I have about 20 friends with mine…heather

Barak

It's not that unique from where I come from..

I still plan on finding much more… thanks to the internet this is a doable goal.

Here’s a tip for starting doing this goal – if you want to get you’re name in many languages, go to Wikipedia and search for the most famous person with your name as a surname/family name.. (Mine is “Ehud Barak”) if he/she pops up, click on the translations available for that page (on the left)...

Barak was one of the Judges from the Book of Judges in the Bible…

On the other side, Heather is a very unique name from where I come. Now when I think of it, the only one Heather I have heard of is Heather Locklear :)

bengali correction

Hi Barak,

Your bengali spelling seems either extremely old, as I can’t recognise the third letter, or made by some automated translator, strange.

I have lived in Bangladesh for 11 years and speak fluent. I have attached a file with the correct spelling for you, on condition that your vovels are not pronounced like the English “o”.

Bengali is a phonetic language, so we write as you would pronounce it. Thus you have all letters B A R A K in the file I sent. If either of your two “a”’s are pronounced as “o”, you just remove the second or fourth letter (the straight vertical line) in Bengali, and it would come correct, as “B”, “R” and “K” by default are pronounced “Bo”, “Ro” and “Ko”. Got that? The letters “a” (the straight line), is there to change the pronounciation from “Bo” to “Ba” and “Ro” to “Ra”. As your last letter is a consonant, it would normally be pronounced only as “K” and not “Ko”, thus you can now make your Bangla word pronouncing, “Barak” (as given in file), “Borak”, “Barok” or “Borok” just by doing the changes I described with the “a”’s. Good luck.

thanks for the correction :)

I don’t know what the third letter was – I just wrote it done as it was given to me from someone in ICQ.
