The words maybe hard to spell because English lacks the right letters.
For those eastern Europeans out there:
h' and kh are equal for X in greek alphabet.

I speak 4 languages, all 4 have forces in PR that speak them!
How awesome!!

Punkbuster, you are awesome.
I have been wanting to learn hebrew for a while now, and this is a pretty good start

Not 100% sure. But most the time in OPFOR type situations, I think they have them using farcey, not sure how to spell it. But it's close to arabic.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could come up with a simple program that would give people a chance to learn other languages, while playing the game?

Lol i play games to fry my brain, not learn things

joking aside it is a interesting idea

get ready for chines translation

sorry is 抱歉

Personally PR teached me to speak in english practicly, befor I started to play PR I was only able to say, "bread", or "ticket Warsaw".

PS Learning by having fun is the best learning.

Thats 'go go go' in Hebrew apparently.

Yeah, people are using games to fry their brain, but still you learn things from them.

One huge problem PR community has is the fact that 90% of Russians don't speak English. At all.
The thing is, they don't need to learn entire English, but it would be good if they could at least understand basic stuff like "enemy", "hold fire", etc.

Now, this idea of mine... It's just an idea. I'm good with coming up with stuff, but I'm too lazy to work on them. So if people think this make any sense, someone needs to make a list of words that are important for in game communication.

I instantly recognized the problem with translation. What good is it to have all the phrases translated, if you don't know how to read them?
There is a partial solution to the problem. Couple of sites offer natural text-to-speech, like this one:
Free text to speech software with Natural Voices-- Free NaturalReader

Maybe some of you guys is looking for a college project involving language and society and... whatever... so maybe he can work on this, come up with the list of phrases, and record some people saying them in different languages.

And when you go to real-life, and you go to speak someone with that language, you are gonna say "Hi, I don't understand!" and then "Oh okay, enemy spotted North move!". Followed by chick leaving...

I learned a few russian words, though...

Spaciba - Thank you!
Shashkaaaaa - Smoke!
Uraahhhhhhhhhhh! - Go!!

i dont believe Urah actually means go. Its more just a war cry if i recall. I know for sure that Byriot means attack.

Hebrew is my second language, but if you are interested, I can teach you a bit... just give me a PM.
I also know Arabic and Russian!

I learned some Russian words from PR too... I know very little Russian already though...

Uraaah doesn't mean go, its just something to make the adrenaline rush

Poshli Poshli! - Go go!
Davai - Come on
Izvinite brat - Sorry bro
Medik - Medic
Yeast - Roger that / Ok.
Da - Yes
Net - No

I learned some other things but I cannot recall them.

In pinyin mandarin chinese Sorry is Dui bu chi

Thank you - Xie xie

me - wo

you - Ni

Bad - bu

English - Yingwen

Chinese - Zhongwen

Ying = English

Zhong = Chinese

1 - Yee

2 - Er "Are"

3 - Sun or something, can't remember.

4 - Si

5 - Wo

6 - Leo

7 - Chi

8 - Ba

9 -

10 - who knows anymore. Just getting the first 6 was hard.


Wo shi _______ ni shi guixing ma? Not entirely sir I spelt it right, but it should come out to something like my name is _____ what's your name?


Mandarin Chinese is really complicated. Since each word has 4 sounds which can completely change the meaning. I forgot all 4 for ma which is put on the end of something to make it a yes or no question most times.

One of the meanings was horse I remember. Forgot the other 3.

My Pinyin may not be perfect, been a while.

Wow, Hebrew sounds awful in English..
And I think I would change some of your e's with i's, it would sound better, other than that good job

Well logically your right, but if you were playing with Israelis you would propably hear them saying 'Yalla' P:

a good thing is to start installing your games in whatever language you want to learn. i've learned just as much english from the games i've played as i did in school, if not more.

Pretty cool idea and I support it.
I learnt a lot of English from PR although I was going on English course.. but my pronouncing was improved a lot since I started using VoIP in PR...

That's correct
Yalla is a very common word here, for all Israeli ethnic groups!

True. "Urah" is the same as english "hurah"! E.g. an expression of joy and determination or something like that. "Vperiot" - "go!" or "advance!".

And yeah, PR is great for maintaining the flow of my engrish.

Edit: Ninja'd.

Well i learned to say in russian

"I can't speak russian sorry.. can you speak english?" from PR

It's: ya pa ruskie nje gavariu, izvinitje. Vy gavaritje pa angliski?

=D
