Suits in different langueges


Recommended Posts

A nice student asked for my help with a collection he got, he collects objects names in many langueges, now he needs the names of the bridge suits in as many langueges he can find.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

In German: Pik Coeur Karo Treff

In more common games the same suits are named:

Pik Herz, Karo, Kreuz

I guess one should pick the second option (Pik, Herz, Karo, Kreuz) which are the "official" names. If the request is specifically about Bridge, go for the first option.

(This was just for clarification, not nitpicking ;-).

Flemish: (joke @ Frederick)

 

Schopske

Harteke

Ruitske

Klaverke

Rather something like:

Schuppe

Hette

Koeke

Klavere

... but that will probably be different for Frederick

Always funny when Dutch people try to speak Flemish :D

 

kgr, that sounds a lot like Aantwaarps :P

 

Here's the only language from Bruges (some form of Flemish):

piekngs

ertns

koekngs

kloavrs

In hebrew

 

pic (not a hebrew word)

Lev

Yahalom

Tiltan

I seem to remember a different word for spades, but don't remember what (my hebrew isn't that great). Something like "alleh". I'm not sure, though. But I had never heard the word "pic". I totally believe you, that people use it, but my grandparents were sticklers for not substituting non-hebrew words, so I know that they used something else, if only I could remember what it is. :)
