Another quilt from the Hershey quilt show.
I just got my partner for the Fall Doll Quilt swap. Luckily I got "Quilter's Choice" again. I am falling back on a favorite stand by of mine - Charm quilt. This time I am using rectangles. I am only feeling a tad bit guilty for working on a new Fall quilt - while I have a UFO languishing... But I am using my Nickel Charms for the charms, so this will be 100% from the stash.
I need some help...
I need to know how to "say" actually spell cats & snow in as many different languages as possible - for two different quilt ideas. I would prefer the English transliteration - like Neko for cat instead of the Kanji "Japanese characters" version.

Really like that quilt!
There are lots of online English-to-whatever dictionaries. You can just google "online English Hungarian dictionary," for example, and you'll find one. Have just been learning Italian, so I know cat is gatto (or gatta for a female cat) and neve is snow. Sounds fun! Will you let us know more?
Indonesian:
kucing = cat
saldju = snow
Now you really have me curious.
That quilt is just gorgeous.
Sorry, cant help with the cat.snow.
Here's a translation dictionary:
http://dictionary.reference.com/translate/index.html There are a bunch more.
I know cat is gato in Spanish, and meendri in katchi. I can ask my mother for more translations if you need.
French
cat - chats
snow - neige
German - Katzen, Shnee
Italian - gatti, neve
Portuguese - gato, neve
Spanish - gatos, nieve
Hope this helps, I'll look up the pinyin (Chinese) for you tonight.
El Gato is cat in Spanish, and I believe Nevada is snow.
I like that quilt a lot.
Hi,
In dutch:
Cat = Kat or Poes
Cats = Katten or Poezen
Snow = Sneeuw
ohhh, be sure and post what you find... this sounds like it could be a fun cat quilt!
Have you tried babelfish /altavista's translation engine?
Dandylion, i was going to tell you to google the words but apparently everyone else beat me to it!
sounds like something good is brewing!
Here is what I got:
Chinese
Cat=Mao
Snow=xue
Japanese
cat=neko
snow=yuki
Italian

I work with people from many countries and this is what they wrote for me.

No snow words, sorry.
