I was bored.

[Kip]

I was doing schoolwork using Microsoft Word 2007, and I noticed that you can translate words into different languages. Just for the hell of it, I translated 'diaper' into 12 different languages. Here is the list:

French: Couche-culotte
German: Windel
Italian: Inglese
Japanese: 米国
Korean: 美
Chinese(PRC): 名词
Spanish: pañal
Chinese(Tiawan): 名詞
Arabic: حفّاظة
Greek: πάνα
Russian: пеленка
Swedish(Sweden): blöja

 

[Klokwork]

米国 ,huh? To 2chan awaaaayyyyy!

 

[BrBaby]

Portuguese: Fralda

 

[kite]

now translate 'lover' or 'wearer' and i'll have a new search query!

 

[James]

The french word is so weird "Couche-culotte".

 

[Maverick]

Martin can tell us how to say it in Dutch.

 

[Kip]

now translate 'lover' or 'wearer' and i'll have a new search query!

Here is 'lover'.

French: maîtress
German: Liebhaberin
Italian: maschile e femminile
Japanese: 恋人
Chinese( PRC): 名词
Spanish: masculino y femenino
Arabic: عاشقة
Dutch: minnaar
Greek: εραστής
Portugese: amante
Russian: любовник
Swedish(Sweden): vän

amoureux des couches-culotte

Wikied it. I barely understand French.

 

[Gingy]

The Chinese characters for diaper and lover showed up the same... Huh?

 

[moocow]

i think the french for diaper has been translated wrong, if you look at a package of one of the brands (don't remember) it appears to be couches

 

[skinnypuppy]

The Italian word is "Inglese" ?? I hope that's pronounced differently from the Italian word for "English"

Couches = plural of couche

Anyway, for those trying to search for diaper lover in Spanish the term would be "amante de pañales" (literally "lover of diapers"). Don't know if our names for the fetish still hold in other languages though.

 

[Target]

there are some mistakes:

Diaper in Italian is translated Pannolone (for Adults) or Pannolino (for baby)

Lover is translated Amante

 

[Kip]

Eh. Microsoft Word 2007 isn't perfect.

 

[moocow]

weird, i'll see next time i look at a package

 

[Serendiapity]

Cool, but I'm sure there's a thread on this already. I posted пеленка.

the french have to shorten a lot of their words so they can speak their own language easier. for example, mal is short for the word malereuse means bad as in you're feeling bad. if every time someone asked you how you were feeling and you had to push that word out you'd probably be feeling even worse by the time you were done.

i dont mean to be rude, but in that list, the chinese and korean words for diaper are wrong, the list has the characters as meaning America. i dont know why, but 尿布 is the correct chinese word for diaper, and it is pronounced Niao bu, meaning pee cloth.
