Re: How Do You Say FIRST?
 

Klingon:

pIlmoHmeH 'ej QeD cham je vanmeH

"In order to cause to be inspired and in order to salute* science and technology"

* The verb van salute has a homophonous noun meaning award, tribute, implying more than simply showing deference to a military superior.

I've occasionally tried to come up with something to retrofit wa'DIch first as an acronym, but acronyms don't work well in Klingon because all words start with consonants.

When you run out of FIRST, you could start with "Gracious Professionalism." :)
Wouldn't that make a great banner at a FIRST event? (I am picturing this hanging from the upstairs stands at Halsey Field House at the Naval Academy)

Re: How Do You Say FIRST?
 

Hm...I can understand Tagalog, but I can't speak, read, or write it. I guess there just isn't much of a reason for me to do so since most Filipinos also understand and speak English. Consequently, I can easily translate from Tagalog to English (assuming that it's spoken to me), but I have a lot of trouble going the other way around (or trying to read it). I'll give it my best shot though - no guarantees on grammar, spelling, or perfect meaning.

Para sa inspirasyon at pagpapasalamat ng siyensiya at technology
(For inspiration and appreciation of science and technology)

And yes, it's acceptable to use English words in a Tagalog sentence and vice versa. Although, I think if you use an English word in Tagalog you're supposed to use Tagalog-style spelling. My mom, her family, and the people on the Filipino news do it all the time. Usually when they can't think of the word they want to use, and generally only for nouns and verbs.

Re: How Do You Say FIRST?
 

There you go. Teknolohiya. Although, I'm not sure about your use of pagkilala. I think that's more along the lines of to know or to become familiar with.

Actually, I think we need to figure out what FIRST means in English first. I've been thinking that it means "To cause the interest and thanks or appreciation of science and technology". It seems that some have been going more toward "to cause the interest and identification or familiarity of science and technology".

Re: How Do You Say FIRST?
 

This is as much as I feel like adding today. Ill add some more later. I don't promise the accuracy of ANYTHING on that list. Infact their wasnt a specific word so i had to substitute in similiar words.

Re: How Do You Say FIRST?
 

Wow... that was a lot! thanks!

I guess it's an acronym so it doesn't need to be translated... but i thought it was really cool. So that works too. :D

You know those McDonalds cups that say "I'm lovin it" in a lot of different languages. We need a tetra that says For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. Photoshopper up for the challenge?

It's PKC version 2 because version 1 is impossible to write on this editor.

Re: How Do You Say FIRST?
 

The French should actually use "Reconnaisance" which is the equivalent to recognition. "Réalisation" actually meant realisation the same it does in english. French is my first language so it should be right :).
