coward, cowardice

Post by foryoureyesonly »

Dear Freelangers and visitors to the forum,

How do you say the words 'coward' and 'cowardice' in other languages?

Thanking you for your time and efforts,

En espagnol, galicien et portugais, ces mots viennent du Français, je crois.

Portugais: covarde, covardia

Galicien: covarde, covardía (Pas la même chose, notez l'accent sur le i ;) )

Oh, sorry, I didn't realize we're in the English forum now. I'm so obsessed with trying to do my best in the French Forum that I have worked more than necessary. :-?

Anyway, I don't think my comments are worth to be translated. ;) I'll translate just the important words:

Portugais=Portuguese
Galicien=Galician

In Bulgarian :

coward = страхливец [strakhlivets]
cowardice = страхливост [strakhlivost]

from the word страх [strakh] meaning "fear"

We could also say, closer to the English form: "couard" and "couardise"

In Thai...

- coward: คนขี้ขลาด (kon kee-klat)

- cowardice: ความขลาด (kwam-klat)

Out of curiosity, why do you need these words in all languages?

Thank you

Swedish:

Cowardice: Feghet, rädsla

Coward is harder. There's old words like 'pultron' and newer slang words like the childish 'fegis' But I guess most people do say 'fegis' or the more humiliating 'kruka'. But what do I know? I haven't used any of the words for ages.

Edit: Rädsla is another word for cowardice. Perhaps a better one

43% of all statistics are useless.
