Chinese Translation of tickling

[youwontknowme]

Hey, hope this is in the right section.

How does one write 'tickling feet' or 'tickling' or 'celebrity feet' etc etc in Chinese? (Traditional or simplified)

Thanks!

In simplified.

Tickling feet:
瘙痒脚

Tickling:
瘙痒

Celebrity Feet:
名人脚

Etc:
等

At least according to Google translate. No guarantees for accuracy.

If it works for Chinese as good as it does for German, then it is probably very unaccurate. 🙂

Google are terrible at translating, the reason is because you need to have an understanding of the language to figure out how words are placed. For example in English we would say:
"I'm going to the shop"
Many languages would say:
"To the shop I/I am going"

Think like Yoda, that's the key 😉

I don't mind if I talk like a caveman in a foreign language. It happens to all languages. As long as the vocab and tenses are slose enough to get the idea across, I'm cool with it.

I did use it to translate Spanish to English, and got a very clear accurate translation. Saved a friendship of mine. So it works well enough for me.

As long as I don't start trying to translate armour terms....😱

Thanks for the suggestions, I have tried using the translators and had very mixed results, was hoping a native speaker was amongst us!

You want a tattoo, don't you?

I'm still wondering how Chinese can actually draw those symbols without having to spend a week just to write a letter.

But yes, the translations can be pretty bad and secondly because it works a bit like a dictionary problems arise when 1 word can have different meanings depending on context. Nuts, for instance. (I recently saw an English to Dutch translation of the sentence: "This product may contain nuts or nut components." garbled to "Such produce contains completely bonkers or screwnut component." 😀)

That was my first thought too 😀

I'm sure the Chinese have a way of explaining it.

 

[youwontknowme]

Haha, no tattoo. I live in Asia and most people's chinese tattoos are the English equivalent of nonsense.

Kanji was the bane of my western existence when we got to that in Japanese. Hiragana and Katakana were fine, but Kanji is evil. I much preferred studying German, where there is only one alphabet.
