Decir se puede traducir por say o por tell. Por regla general, say simplemente {dice} y tell {informa} u {ordena hacer algo}. ► Decir generalmente se traduce por say en estilo directo. Normalmente no lleva un complemento de persona pero si se menciona a quién se está dirigiendo el hablante, el complemento de persona tiene que ir precedido por la preposición to: "Ya son las tres", dije "It's already three o'clock," I said "¡Qué tiempo más malo!" Eso fue lo único que me dijo "What awful weather!" That's all he said to me ► En estilo indirecto, decir se puede traducir por say cuando simplemente se cuenta lo que alguien ha dicho. Si say lleva complemento de persona, este se coloca después del complemento directo: Dijo que se tenía que marchar He said he had to leave Me dijo algo que no entendí He said something to me that I didn't understand ► Decir se traduce por tell cuando se {informa} o se {ordena hacer algo}. Suele llevar un objeto de persona sin la preposición to: Me dijo que tenía una entrevista de trabajo He told me he had a job interview ¡Te he dicho que no lo toques! I told you not to touch it! ► Hay algunos usos idiomáticos en los que decir se traduce por tell aunque no lleva complemento de persona. Por ejemplo: to tell the truth (decir la verdad) y to tell a lie (decir una mentira). Otros verbos ► Si decir va acompañado de un calificativo en español, a menudo se puede traducir al inglés por otros verbos que no sean say o tell: "Lo he perdido todo", dijo entre sollozos "I've lost everything," she sobbed Dijo con voz ronca algo sobre necesitar un médico He croaked something about needing a doctor Para otros usos y ejemplos ver la entrada Para otras expresiones con el participio, ver dicho.1.

Note:Il verbo parlare è reso in inglese principalmente da due verbi, to talk e to speak. To talk è d'uso frequente e informale, e significa parlare in modo amichevole e comunque non ostile o distaccato; to speak è d'uso più raro e formale, e si usa per indicare il parlare con un certo distacco, in modo spesso poco amichevole o comunque tra estranei, e in alcuni casi particolari (parlare al telefono, parlare in dibattiti o conferenze, parlare le lingue, essere in grado fisicamente di parlare ecc). Rinviando agli esempi d'uso più sotto nella voce, si noti che nell'inglese britannico to speak with e to talk with designano un modo di parlare più articolato e prolungato di to speak to e to talk to (il riferimento alla persona a cui si parla deve comunque essere introdotto da with o to)II [par'lare]sostantivo maschile1) (modo di esprimersi) way of speaking, speech2) (idioma)3) (chiacchiere) talk* * *parlare1/par'lare/ [1]Il verbo parlare è reso in inglese principalmente da due verbi, to talk e to speak.

12 Language
By 2009, the Portuguese language was spoken by more than 210 million people and the number of Portuguese-speakers exceeded the number of French-speakers in the world. Seven countries have Portuguese as the official language, Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde Islands, Guinea- Bissau, São Tomé and Príncipe Islands, Angola, and Mozambique. Overseas Portuguese, who number 4 million, reside in another two dozen countries and continue to speak Portuguese. There are distinct differences between Brazilian and Continental (Portugal) Portuguese in spelling, pronunciation, syntax, and grammar, but both versions comprise the same language.Next to Rumanian, Portuguese is the closest of the Romance languages to old Latin. Like Gallician, to which it is intimately linked as a colanguage, Portuguese is an outgrowth of Latin as spoken in ancient Hispanica. It began to appear as a distinct language separate from Latin and Castilian in the ninth century, and historic Portuguese made its full appearance during the 12th and 13th centuries. Major changes in the language came under the influence of Castilian in the ninth and 16th centuries, and there was a Castilianization of Portuguese culture during the 1580-1640 era of Spanish rule of Portugal and its empire.The cultural aspects of Portugal reasserting her sovereignty and restoring national independence was a reaction against Castile and Castilianization. In language, this meant that Portugal opened itself to foreign, but non-Hispanic influences. In the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, French culture and French language became major influences enriching the Portuguese language. In international politics, there continued the impact of the Anglo- Portuguese Alliance, a connection that has been less cultural than political and economic. For all the centuries of English influence in Portugal since the late 14th century, it is interesting how little cultural influence occurred, at least until recently, and how relatively few words from English have entered the language. With the globalization of English, this began to change in the late 20th century, but there remain many more loan words from Arabic, French, and Italian. -

14 इति
iti
2) ind. (fr. pronominal base 3. i), in this manner, thus (in its original signification iti refers to something that has been said orﾠ thought, orﾠ lays stress on what precedes;
in the Brāhmaṇas it is often equivalent to « as you know»,
reminding the hearer orﾠ reader of certain customs, conditions, etc.
supposed to be known to him)
In quotations of every kind iti means that the preceding words are the very words which some person has orﾠ might have spoken, andﾠ placed thus at the end of a speech it serves the purpose of inverted commas ( ityuktvā, having so said;
itikṛitvā, having so considered, having so decided)
It may often have reference merely to what is passing in the mind e.g.. bālo'pinâ̱vamantavyomanushyaitibhūmipaḥ, a king, though a child, is not to be despised, saying to one's self, « he is a mortal», (Gr. 928.)
In dram. ititathākaroti means « after these words he acts thus»
Sometimes iti is used to include under one head a number of separate objects aggregated together
(e.g.. ijyâ̱dhyayanadānānitapaḥsatyaṉkshamādamaḥ
alobhaitimārgo'yam,
« sacrificing, studying, liberality, penance, truth, patience, self-restraint, absence of desire»,
this course of conduct, etc.)
iti is sometimes followed by evam, iva, orﾠ a demonstrative pronoun pleonastically
(e.g.. tāmbrūyādbhavatî ̱tyevam, her he may call « lady», thus)
iti may form an adverbial compound with the name of an author
(e.g.. iti-pāṇini, thus according to Pāṇini)
It may alsoﾠ express the act of calling attention (lo! behold!)
It may have some other significations e.g.. something additional
(as in ityādi, et caetera),
order, arrangement specific orﾠ distinctive, andﾠ identity
It is used by native commentators after quoting a rule to express « according to such a rule»
(e.g.. anudāttaṅitaityātmanepadambhavati, according to the rule of Pāṇini I, 3, 12, the Ātmane-pada takes place)
kimiti = kim, wherefore, why? (In the Ṡatapatha-brāhmaṇa ti occurs for iti;
cf. Prākṛit. ti andﾠ tti.)

(3.70 ) speaks first of Πειθίας and then refers to him repeatedly as ὁ Π.; cf. Θράσυλος in Id.8.104, with ὁ Θ. ib. 105 ; or when the person spoken of is to be specially distinguished, Ζεύς, ὅστις ὁ Ζεύς whoever this Zeus is, E.Fr. 480 ; and therefore properly omitted when a special designation follows, as Σωκράτης ὁ φιλόσοφος: seldom in Trag. with pr. nn., save to give pecul. emphasis, like Lat. ille, ὁ Λάϊος, ὁ Φοῖβος, S.OT 729, El.35, etc.: later, however, the usage became very common (the Homeric usage of ὁ with a pr. n. is different, v. A.I).c Aristotle says Σωκράτης meaning the historical Socrates, as in SE183b7, PA642a28, al., but ὁ Σωκράτης when he means the Platonic Socrates, as Pol.1261a6, al.: so with other pr.nn., EN1145a21, 1146a21, al.2 in a generic sense, where the individual is treated as a type,οἷς ὁ γέρων μετέῃσιν.. λεύσσει Il.3.109
