I like Kushinda!

When I said them like Charlie Sheen would, that had the best aural quaity.

Nyero for sure. Sounds like a badass samurai or something.

aelaeandi - Icelandic. That one looks cool, I don't know how to pronounce it.. But it looks cool.

False, "Aelaeandi" means "Attractive" not "Winning", winning could be "Sigrandi" or "Vinnandi".

"He is winning the competition" - "Hann er ae vinna keppnina" or "Hann er ae sigra keppnina" both can be used here. However in no way can "winning" be translated as "Aelaeandi" which means attractive.

"The woman was attractive" - "Konan var aelaeandi"

However the word "vinna" can be used both for "win" and "work".

Example for used as "work": "He was working for Bethesda" - "Hann var ae vinna fyrir bethesda"

So it may be better to go for "sigra" or rather "Sigrandi"

So ultimately if he went for the word "Winning" in Icelandic it should be "Sigrandi".

how about Vincendo?(Italian)

Sigrandi sounds cool to me. :nod:

Even if I'm from Sweden the Vinnande doesn't sounds right imo but that's just me.

It would be funny if 10 users just decide to register all your options.

(Winner)

Nirbah (Winning)

Why isn't norwegian an alternative damn it.

» Tue Dec 06, 2011 1:46 pm

Zirrama: Azerbaijani.

» Tue Dec 06, 2011 4:39 pm

Can you even pronounce "pobjeda"?

Btw. that's "victory" and not "winning", which would be "pobje?ivanje".

Btw. that's totally hilarious and not cool at all...but then again so is Charlie Sheen.

» Tue Dec 06, 2011 4:32 am

Why isn't norwegian an alternative damn it.

Because he calls it Swedish. :teehee:

I'd prefer Sigrande though.

OP, you fouled up the German one. It's Gewinnend.

Yoy're right I forgot about nynorsk.

» Tue Dec 06, 2011 2:14 pm

Yoy're right I forgot about nynorsk.

LOL, how can you forgot that? :teehee: As you can see, I like a good bit of nynorsk.
Bokm?lfolk. Help, I'm being oppressed. Joking.

How about Ganador? (Spanish) Sounds a bit TES-y too doesn't it?

» Tue Dec 06, 2011 8:38 am

Ganastes? Ganando?

» Tue Dec 06, 2011 11:43 am

Yeah I messed up on the german one...but their is so many options I can't choose! But it looks like nyero is"winning"

» Tue Dec 06, 2011 3:20 pm

Zirrama: Azerbaijani.

I like that one!

» Tue Dec 06, 2011 4:31 pm

:rofl: I thought you meant "whining"... I was like, WTF?!?! Now I get it. It's good that you look for germanic/slavonic (or else) words. Latin words sound lame for this. Don't get me wrong, I love French (mother tongue), but "gagnant" doesn't sound good, it's ugly even for us. Yeah, nyero is nice.

Edit: I see you put portugese and Catalan in there... my bad. As long as the root is not the same as "gagner", it's fine.
