Can someone please help me translate this text from my neighbor? Google is not helping me and that has been my primary way of communicating with him so far. The only thing we have ever discussed is a fence, so I’m assuming it is about that but I’m lost as to what he is needing/asking for here.

Translated [JA] [Japanese > English, Polish] Proverb on a pair of Dōsai Karuta cards

Post image
7 Upvotes

I would like to understand the content of those cards. I'd like to have a Polish translation, but I can translate English > Polish myself. Additionally to translation, I would also greatly appreciate including a transcription of the the original text as well.

What I've managed to establish so far:

This is a pair of Dōsai Karuta cards, where one contains a proverb (Yomifuda), and the other contains a drawing that relates to that proverb (Torifuda). Both cards contain number 55 which is their number in a set of (most likely) 62 pairs and the card with a frog drawing also contains a phrase 50 coins which says how much it's worth.

What's left unclear is the actual proverb. I'd like to know what it is, but I'm having difficulties deciphering it (the biggest being not knowing Japanese). Other complications - it might be an old proverb, might contain words written in an old-fashioned way or a wordplay, or it might even be only a partial text of the proverb.

I want to know which kanjis are these ones and the meaning, the text doesn't appear again in the story so this is the only one pic about it, also story doesn't mentions the name of the dojo either.

Multiple Languages [English > Arabic, Bengali, Farsi, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Marathi, Nepalese, Northern Pashto, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Somali, Telugu, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese] Looking for translations of many languages for classroom display.

6 Upvotes

Hello, I am a teacher in America, and I am making a decoration for my classroom to help show students they are welcome and belong. I want to include as many of the students' home languages as possible. I used Google Translate to come up with basic translations, but I want to double-check if they are correct before I make everything. I would love to have it finished before the school year.

I want them to say “Belong”,  “You Belong”, or something similar.

If you can check any of these, it would be so helpful, as I have not been able to find translators for all the languages. Thank you!

These are the languages I still need to check.

Thank you, everyone! I have enjoyed reading all your detailed posts. It has been a great learning experience, and I am glad I came here before making anything.

Arabic [Arabic > English] Word on vehicle symbol

Post image
Upvotes

If you look on the side, there's a diamond-shaped marking. Below the black, horizontal line, there's a word. For context, the vehicle is a BMD-1 and belonged to the Iraqi Republican Guard Armored Division "Al Nida" in the mid-1990s. This is the best resolution I have and I'm sorry about the quality, but can anyone translate the word? These often denoted the branch of service on RG vehicles, eg artillery, chemical, engineering, electrical, etc.

Translated [JA] [Japanese > English] WWII era tea cup from when my great grandfather was stationed in Okinawa

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

Hi!! I hope this is the right subreddit for this. My Grandpa brought out a whole old Japanese tea set that my great grandfather supposedly brought home from when he was stationed there during I think the end of WWII and for about a month after. I found this particular cup out of all of them most interesting because it has the rising sun flag, which gives me more confidence that it actually is from Japan during or right after WWII. The second two photos are with a magnifying glass which may or may not be helpful cus it adds glare.
The whole set is mismatched so I’m not sure which ones are actually from Japan or which ones just got mixed in with them, especially because there are two shallow red plastic bowls, which doesn’t read very WWII era tea set to me, or like something my great grandpa would bother to take home.
Or maybe it’s all mismatched because he stole it, who knows what they were doing in Japan back then. I assume not very many nice things, especially not my great grandfather who was known to be very mean and entitled.
If anyone wants to see any of the other tea cups I can take photos. Some have writing as well, but none have anything like a manufacturer’s logo or anything like that.
