| Meaning of प्रत्यक्ष को प्रमाण की आवश्यकता न | Aug 4, 2007 |

Actually, this is a question for kudoz
It means:
Truth (or what is in front of our eyes) does not need any evidence.
Ok. I know it's not true in law... but then law is blind, right?
I've always loved this phrase
p.s.:
sorry somehow the title is still incomplete, I've tried several times to correct it... does not work
Please read the title as:

Most people who have chosen words in English have opted for Latin based words. I far prefer the sounds of words that derive from older sources, like 'swung'. The fabulous 's', goes on to a 'w', the rather deep Scottish 'u', then n the lovely throaty 'ng'. I think this word sounds powerful, old, ancient even, and I like its quirkiness, in that it is an irregular form.
As you can see, I like my sounds

... in languages he doesn't master
An English word I love a lot: overkill! The concept couldn't have been expressed better. It's a true stroke of genius

1) Nebeprisikiškiakopūsteliaudavome. = The longest one in Lithuanian as I can think of, comes from a story book, and yes it does have a meaning.
2) Kirba. = my dog's name, means smth like 'vivid', 'restless'.
3) Moša. = one's husband's sister. We have different words for family members.

I wish I were translating from Lithuanian - in English, half of all female relatives are aunt, and the other half are sisters, you know. Anyway, Turkish for "moša" is "görümce", but I have to admit that "moša" sounds much sweeter
So, what does "nebeprisikiškiakopūsteliaudavome" mean, Ele?

Well, take that---> Imagine you have two brothers and a sister. To your child, your sister is aunt (teta) BUT your brother's wife to your child, in English please correct me if I'mw rong is also aunt whereas in Lithuanian she is dėdienė- uncle's wife, literarily. And all kinds of stuff like that!
That long one...hrrrrrrrr. Well, basically we have a plant, similar to clover, which is sour, grows in meadows and forests, is edible meaning not poisonous. We call it 'kiškio kopūstas', = hare's cabbadge. Not sure if hares do eat that.
Ne/be-negatives, means do or did not
pri- a bit
si- particle shows you did it yoruself, like German ich wasche mich- I wash myself
kiškiakopūsteliau- hare's cannadge, root of the word
dav- we used to do it in the past and not for one time, indicates past
ome- shows plural, it was 'we' who used to do that.
In short, in the past we did not gather enough hare's cabbadge.

Have a good day!

correct me if ı'm wrong,
two is "dool" in korean, and there isn't any similarity between "no" and "ani".
in turkish, my native language, ı love the phrase "yavaş" it means "slow" but you can use it as "slow down" also, another one is "bu mudur?" which means "is that it?".
