Word/Phrase Translation

[TheNothingMonster]

I got an idea for a little "game". Here it goes:

A user will give a random word or phrase. The user bellow will attempt to translate that word/phrase in another language they know as accurately as possible and later provide another random word/phrase for the next user to translate. And the circle shall continue!

Rules:
- The words/phrases provided must always be in English, of course.
- The crazier the words/phrases, the better!
- Some context for the translation would be awesome in more complex scenarios, but it's not required.
- That's it. Have fun & be as creative as you wish!

I will start! Here's my phrase:

house of bananas

Now try to translate that & give another random word/phrase!

[Loebas]

Huis met bananen, en appels

[TheNothingMonster]

Huis met bananen, en appels

Perhaps I didn't explain my idea clearly enough- woops! The later provided word/phrase is meant to be entirely separate from the translated one. Sorry about that! (Though this way of thinking could be used for another game!)

Here's an example of how I visualised the idea:

user1: chocolate
user2: chocolate is chocolat in French! My word: moon.
user 3: moon is mond in German. My word is "dog"!
And so on...

Feel free to provide any word/phrase you want translated (in English).

[Loebas]

House of bananas is huis van bananen in dutch. My word: lemontree

[Cobra!]

Lemon Tree is Albero di limone in Italian. My word: Television

[urgellx]

Television in french is... télévision !
My word is dubitative.

[keybladekid6]

way to make it difficult 

i think dubitative would most likely be amhrasach in Irish, but I'm super rusty T__T

ma in Italiano dubitative è semplice, è dubitativo/a 

my word is: rainbow!

xoxo, lolo =3

[grovyle]

Rainbow is arcoíris in Spanish!

Phrase to translate: a monkey with a knife
It's used in my country to say that to give someone something (either a literal object, information or power) is to make them dangerous lol

[TheNothingMonster]

A monkey with a knife is "μια μαϊμού με ένα μαχαίρι" in Greek. That's a funnily interesting phrase, ha ha!

Here's another phrase: the sky's the limit

[candycanearter07]

well, i only know one other language semi-well, so...

ali li ken (anythings possible)


two wrongs dont make a right?

[apricior]

"Two wrongs don't make a right" would be something like "Dos errores no hacen un acierto"

My phrase is "simpler than the handle of a bucket" (one of my favorite expressions in Spanish)

[Cobra!]

In Scottish Gaelic, that would literally translate to “Nas sìmplidh na làmhràcan am bucaid”.

One phrase I love from Gaelic is: Better a broken language than a dead language
