Insider said:Hello, everybody!
I'm looking for names of Zodiac signs in every language. At this moment I can name 12 signs in 4 languages: Ukrainian, English, Spanish and German.
Can anybody help with it?![]()
Thanks in advance!
For Portuguese just follow the accent mark (if there's one, that means that is the stressed syllable and not an opposition between short and long vowels).In Portuguese:
Aries - Áries
Taurus - Touro
Gemini - Gêmeos
Cancer - Câncer
Leo - Leão
Virgo - Virgem
Libra - Libra
Scorpio - Escorpião
Sagittarius - Sagitário
Capricorn - Capricórnio
Aquarius - Aquário
Pisces - Peixes

Qu is pronounced as in aquarium and the x in peixes is like the sh in shoes.
Ão isn't very easy to describe, but if you pronounce it like an English own (as in drown), that should be good enough.
G before e and i sound like French j, as in je, or the second g in garage.
C sounds like k before a, o and u, and like s before e and i. If you see a ç, that means it's also pronounced like an s.

Outsider said:I've heard it said by astronomers that Ophiucus should be a Zodiac sign, since it also occupies a region of the sky in the strip where the other signs lie, but I don't think that it is a part of traditional Western astrology.
Ofiyuk-hus= Ulupong?(there is serpent in this zodiac sign)Here in Turkish:
