"One Hundred" Languages

daddypugg · #1 01/21/2006, 08:45 PM

I hope that with the broad span of RC that I can get some help here.

My daughter is looking for different ways to say "One Hundred".

So if you speak multiple languages and can offer some help, My little reefist in training would be most appreciative.

Thanks.

Thank You -

I didn't have the Russian translation.

I do have a handful that I looked up on the net but I want to compare them to the answers from people who actually speak the languages.

Thanks again,

If you need the number name in cyrillic, is appears as "cto".

Chinese: Yi bai.
Pronounced: E Buy
(The E has a flat, even tone, and the Buy tone dips down then up.)

Written: 一百

Maori: rau

According to the maori english translator I have here at work.

hehe, Interestingly feeding "rau" into the translator spits out the english translation as: blade, crowd, feather, hundred, hundredweight, leaf or sheet.

Thank you so much John Henry, FickleFins and IRA NZ.

IRA NZ - forgive my ignorance but where is Maori natively spoken?

Heh, I'd have thought that was obvious given that my username is Ira NZ, my location is listed as New Zealand that it most likely would be New Zealand.

ha sometimes the most obvious of things can escape me. Actually I didn't see your location

Thanks again!
