book: what do you call book in your country?

In my country, Egypt, we call a book "Ketab". Cheers

Here in the Philippines & in Tagalog (one of your dialects)--you call book--"libro". How about in your country? =)

The translation (if it is what you are asking) is Livro. Country : Brazil Language : Portuguese. Is that what you wanted to know? I prefer to call my books friends.

Do you mean how we call book in different dialects and languages? Well, I know that it is called 'book' in English, 'shu' in Chinese and 'buku' in Malay. That's the extent of my knowlege. Hope you get more feedback from others. Good luck.

Uh, book. Are you asking about the translations for the word itself?

Libro or Aklat

In hindi it is called Kitab. In telugu it is called Pustakam.

In Estonian it's 'raamat'. But there are some other interesting lingustical facts, and as a former philologist I'd like to take a chance to reveal them there, for example: Estonian and Finnish are related languages. There is a similar word "raamattu" in Finnish, and there it means "the bible". In Finnish "a book" is "kirja" and we have a similar word "kiri", but it means "a letter", "a writing" or "a script".

I m from INDIA, here we call Book, Kitab, Pustak.

In my country we call a book a boek. Just one letter difference. However we call a library a bibliotheek a word that has been derived from the greek for book Biblos. Dutch can be so confusing.

In Italy the books are "libri"

The Italian for "book" is LIBRO "books" LIBRI "library" BIBLIOTECA "bookshop/bookstore" LIBRERIA

here in the philippines book is called libro. it can also be called aklat but most of the time it is called libro.

[shu:]

In my country Indonesia, we call "buku" for book.
