My name
So depending on where I am, to whom I speak and in what language, my name takes on different forms:
Language | Name |
---|---|
Norwegian | Arthur |
Spanish | Arturo |
Catalan | Artur(u) |
Lithuanian | Artūras |
Chinese | 阿瑟 (ā sè) |
Arabic | ارتور (Artuuri) |
This is so because:
- The pronounciation of my name in Norweigan contains a sound that is hard for most people to pronounce: the retroflex t. It is fairly common in Indian languages but in Indoeuropean ones it's not.
- My name does not exist as is in Chinese and has to be changed totally
- In Lithuanian every name has an ending that changes according to grammar rules (grammatical case)
