What does sim card do? Define its function and a Yoruba word can be coined for it. |

Hmm, old thread, I know! But never saw a proper answer here. There is no need to translate SIM, most languages retain this and just add "card". So SIM paali or paali ero isohun. But if you want to translate the entire thing it gets a bit harder. I don't know how to translate "subscriber" into Yoruba, since SIM means subscriber indentification module. I know to subscribe is: fowo si (iwe), but not sure how to turn it into subsriber. Maybe paali eni ti o fowo si iwe ileese ero isohun. |

we must refrain from translating yoruba in linear terms. i will give you example."promotion"is translated as "ilosiwaju". pro is a term generally meaning support or in aid of something. .motion is a mechanical movement, forward or backward or sideways. so if translted linearly promotion will not then equate to ilosiwaju. the functional sense of what promotion does is what gave it the meaning of ilosiwaju in yoruba. it could also be progress. therefore, by correctly identifying the purpose of sim we can approximate a term that gives it meaning in yoruba cosmos. yoruba language is a cosmos in itself. i know what sim stand for and what it means......but,. what does sim do? |

Ogbuefi_Negro: we must refrain from translating yoruba in linear terms. i will give you example."promotion"is translated as "ilosiwaju"."Promotion" is a word that can be coined in any language on earth because it's a phrase joined together to form a word. But with words like "Sim-card", it's different because these things are new inventions that did not exist before. |

Ogbuefi_Negro: we must refrain from translating yoruba in linear terms. i will give you example."promotion"is translated as "ilosiwaju".SIM identifies the one using the phone. That's generally the purpose I believe, so they can be billed etc. I agree that translating literally is usually not a good idea, but I can't seem to find another good way to say it. Maybe phone holder card would be a better translation into Yoruba. Or phone card can work just fine. |
