Voordat ik naar een bepaald land reis, probeer ik tien basiswoorden of -zinnen in de plaatselijke taal te leren. Daarmee toon ik respect en kan ik me gemakkelijker redden.
Dit zijn de tien waarmee ik begin:
- Hallo
- Tot ziens
- Dank je wel
- Graag gedaan
- Hoe gaat het?
- Oké
- Ja
- Nee
- Sorry
- Alsjeblieft
Met die paar zinnen kom je verrassend ver.
Ik heb een openbare spreadsheet gemaakt met vertalingen voor verschillende landen.
Dezelfde taal kan van plaats tot plaats verschillen. Spaans in Spanje is bijvoorbeeld niet precies hetzelfde als Spaans in Colombia. Kleine verschillen kunnen ertoe doen.
Ik stel de lijst samen met hulp van anderen. Als je een taal goed kent, voeg dan een vertaling voor jouw land toe of verbeter er een die er al staat. Houd het eenvoudig: gebruik de meest gangbare uitdrukking en geef één versie, geen reeks alternatieven.
Hieronder staan 250 landen en gebieden, met per rij één gangbare of officiële taal. Bij andere schriften gebruik ik Latijnse transliteraties. Voor onbewoonde gebieden staat er een bestuurstaal of internationale werktaal. Uitdrukkingen kunnen verschillen per regio, aanspreekvorm of geslacht van de spreker.
