so if i want to write "Sunsisters"
is the correct notation सूर्यस्वसरः ?

correct, Nataraj, because:

suuryaH = "Sun" in the nominative.
svasaraH = "Sisters" in the nominative.

but suurya- = the root of the noun for "Sun".
the root is also the compound form, which is the form used to connect one noun to another, that is, making a sense of Genitive form or any other sense depending on the context. (any questions about that just ask us)

so, suurya + svasr in the plural = suuryasvasaraH. only the last word will be inflected in case, gender and number. get it?

anyway, that is correct...

salutations,

salutations,

family = वंश = vaMsha-.
that's the root of the noun for family. the nominative (or subject) is वंशः = vaMshaH.

if you want to use it in a compound, you should use the वंश (vaMsha) form, which is the root. for example:
वंश + सूर्यस्वसरः = वंशसूर्यस्वसरः = "Sunsisters of the family". this phrase does not make sense, but it's surely correct gramatically.

are you learning Sanskrit?

best regards,

correction: we don't know that much about it; we are just beginners in learning Sanskrit.
we've read very much about sanskrit: we study several languages as a hobby. we like sanskrit very much and you are right, it's indeed an unique language.

we know you are not learning sanskrit at the moment, but take a look at these sites that helped us very much (we didn't make any course - we've learnt it all in the Internet):
http://www.sanskrit-sanscrito.com.ar
sanskrit.inria.fr - grammatical information, declension and conjugation engine, morphological analyzer, dictionary...
asignoret.free.fr - André Signoret's french-sanskrit dictionary - our preferred Sanskrit dictionary.

these sites are really helpful.

best regards,

the word family is listed as lignée, dynastie (lineage, dynasty)

but there are many other translations:

noble family = kula
household, house and duty of a family = kuTumba ou gRha
party, politic family = paksha
etc.

we found that the most accurate translation for us would be vaMsha = lineage, dynasty.

salutations,

we would gladly translate your phrase to Sanskrit, but we are not sure what it means.
we looked up for this quotation on the Internet, and we saw it's from Neil Gaiman... but we don't know Neil Gaiman, who's he? do you know?

anyway, could anyone provide the meaning of this phrase?

t. y. in advance,

i was wondering if you could give me the Sanskrit translation for the word Brothers

pc2 · Post by **pc2** » 13 Mar 2006 21:35

brothers (plural):
भ्रातरः bhraataraH
brother (singular):
भ्राता bhraataa. its root is भ्रातृ bhraatri. notice something: bhraataa is a nominative but it's not formed by adding visarga.
