 Post subject: Word for "thirst" in as many languages as possible
PostPosted: 09 Jun 2004 12:14

Hello ppl,

I need to know the equivalent words for Thirst in as many languages as possible.

The more off beat the language the better.

I have found some through translation websites. BUt I am specifically looking for languages like Swahili and Ashanti. Any takers there?

Beaumont, you and kyliane have helped me a lot. Just one more request... Can you make the forum page into English or tleast provide another page in English. I do not understand French, am still learning it...

Thanx a lot,

I would just say "jano". "Himoita" is a verb, it means "to desire". It's quite literal actually.

Estonian: janu

In Latin:
The noun is "sitis" (If you need me to decline it into cases, let me know).
The adjective is "sitiens" or "siccus" (Let me know if you need me to decline it)
The verb is "sitio" (If you need it conjugated, let me know).
