December 22

[edit]

Yakut translation please

[edit]

Please translate these words into English.

  • Саргылардаах сахаларбыт ->
  • Ыччат сахаларга ->

If you can, please also translate this to English. Much help is needed, I need to construct an article about the anthem of the Tungus Republic. Thanks!--Jeromi Mikhael (talk) 04:26, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

With no knowledge of Yakut language whatsoever, I can tell you that "Sakha, covered with happiness" can be found as "Саргылардаах сахабыт" only -- note the absence of the Turkic plural suffix -лар-. So, "Саргылардаах сахаларбыт" is something about Yakuts in plural. "We, Sakha Nation", as you had it until your last edit, seems to be the Russian name of the anthem, even if not the literal translation of "Саргылардаах сахаларбыт".
Ыччат is "offspring, generation": [1] --93.172.3.203 (talk) 11:19, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can't read it, but the саргы in саргы-лар-даах seems to mean something like bare or unfinished (a саргы house doesn't have the windows or doors in yet). -лар is presumably the plural, and no idea about the -даах. сахаларбыт might be 'our Yakuts' (саха-лар-быт Yakut-plural-our). Ыччат is 'generation', and саха-лар-га Yakut-plural-dative. But how that all fits together and what it means is beyond me. — kwami (talk) 07:01, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
