[TimorLesteStudies] FW: Tetun Translationfor Handcraft--Liman-fatin or Artesantu

[Patricia Woodcroft-Lee]

Hi Katrina, It's Trish, I'd go for badinas liman, Liman fatin, place of
hands, does not make make much sense. I think in some places Portuguese
would be fine, otherwise yes, kerajinan tangan is quite clear.

Kind regards

T

Hi, 
You could possibly use badinas liman or industria liman? (Liman-fatin sounds
more like youre talking about a place for hands..) My suggestion would be to
use the Indonesian simply because it is a term widely understood in Timor
and would cause the least  amount of confusion. It is perfectly acceptable
to do this if Tetum speakers haven't started replacing this with a specific
Tetum term (which to my knowledge hasn't happened yet). Hope this is
helpful.

Dear Bu could you post this for me, thanks sara

 

Dear Language Buffs

I need a final decision on what word(s) to use for handcraft in
Timor-Leste preferably in Tetun but so that most will understand itat a
small meeting in Dili the advice was to use the Indonesian but on reflection
Id rather use Tetun if possible--comments welcome.

 

Liman-fatin (Tetun) = Artesantu (Portuguese/Tetun?) = Kerajinan tangan
(Indonesian) = Handcraft (English)

 

thanks
