I need to find the translation of 'school of learning' which is dojo in Japanese. I need the equivalent in Hebrew.
Thanks

I have no idea what is written in the response. It doesn't look like Hebrew at all which I'm sure it's not. I am needing Hebrew please.

I don't understand how that applies to my request. You wrote in Hebrew (transliteration) and I need it written in English first (so I can read and understand) and then in Hebrew.
Thanks

You never said that order mattered :roll: Gilen gave you half of the answer.

I can't give you the English pronunciation, but if you ask kindly someone will probably do it...

The English pronunciation of דוג'ו is "dojo".

hebrew translation

Post by Soldier »

Ok, fair enough on the asking seeing how email is so crude. I didn't realize I was asking 'un-nicely'. :( Hope no one takes this the wrong way but it seems that we are getting translation mixed up with transliteration. To transliterate something means to take a word - dojo - and make each letter of it readable in another language. Translate something means to give the understanding -meaning- of the into another language. So -dojo- is just transliterated in English because the meaning of the word is house or place of training. So what I need is 'House of training' transliterated into Hebrew along with the translation of that new transliteration. I hope this is all coming across the right way. :-? I truly do appreciate your help with this.

IMHO, transliterate means to convert the characters of one alphabet to the corresponding characters of another alphabet. So usually it's in the same language, like the transliteration of มา is "ma", but both are in Thai.

This is more explaining than translating. Translating is finding an equivalent.

Sorry to be fussy. ;)

You see, it is so simple to explain correctly...

So, the definition of Dojo in Hebrew is : חדר או מזרון שעליו ניתן להתאמן בג'ודו which means "room or mattress where it is possible to practice judo".

:D Thank you! Is it possible to get the pronunciation? ;) Also, would you mind helping with a few other phrases? They are not long ones.
