Brazilian Portuguese
Prata = Silver

You're locked in for Brazilian Portuguese, but would need to submit another word, for Silver is already taken.

@All: The words need not be Bitcoin related. They can be any word, albeit not foul, otherwise I won't fuckin' use it.

All the other other submissions look fine. Getting a fresh cup of coffee, then I'll update the OP.

Keep 'em a comin'!

French: liberté

Guess what it means.

I guessed Liberty, but if I'm wrong, please correct me, for I didn't research it.

Adding a Yoruba word to the list.

Saudade - It has no translation on any other language that I know of. It's a kind of nostalgia, something you feel when you miss someone or something very much.

Just go with the 'coins' translation then.
Also, there's an error in the spelling of Indonesia in OP. Wink

I'm confused, what's the One Word in common? Or is it any word?

I know you reserved it for psy and that you want 1 per post, but would this be a good example?

Portuguese: prata: silver
Portuguese: ouro: gold
Portuguese: dinheiro: money
Portuguese: moeda: coin

There is no common word. Choice any word you want. I only reserved Portuguese for psy because I like to fuck with him.

Latin: aurum: gold

Gold has already been used, but Latin is reserved for you, polrpaul.

Malay/Indonesian: emas: gold
Chinese Simplified/traditional: 金: gold

I guess I forgot to mention that I'm not repeating words either, so I'll amend the OP.

I'll let you have first shot, John, of submitting another Chinese word, unless you want to keep gold and change the Indonesian word. Also, please provide the Latin/Roman script for your Chinese submission.

Okay.

Chinese Simplified/traditional:硬币: yìng bì : coins

^If multiple words are not allowed, please amend that to:

Chinese Simplified/traditional: 币: bì : Currency/money

I could live with a two word translation, as long as the word being translated is only one, which coin is.

Got it! Therefore, I'll do Latin: Gold for polrpaul, and Chinese: Coin for you, eliminating Indonesia.

EDIT: Now, I have three more problems with your submission: Is it simplified or traditional (I believe you meant only simplified)? Coin or coins (I believe it's either, in which case I prefer the singular)? And how do you capitalize yìng bì (I'm guessing only the first letter, but not sure on this whatsoever)?

There's no singular or plural in Chinese, so either will do.

硬幣 is traditional Chinese, and 硬币 is simplified Chinese. I'm not too sure about the capitalization, but normally we don't capitalize them at all. I guess capitalizing the first letter will work here.

Do you want another word for Indonesian?

Image where we would be today if China opted to not be such a closed society centuries ago. English, as we know it today, may not have came into existence.

Wow! No plurals. Simplified it is. I'll capitalize the first letter.

Shoot me an Indonasain word. Grin

(and be creative)

And thanks for all your input, to date.
