Translation help

Postby glitch452 » February 27th, 2008 11:14 pm

I'm still a beginner and don't know much kanji, so I was hoping i could get some help on some translations.

These are from directions for a sewing pattern one is the size chart, and the other i think is what materials i need to buy.

Any help would be appreciated.

どもありがと

The first one's easy, so I'll do it for you, but there's a few too many words I don't know in the second, so I'll leave that to someone else.

サイズ (saizu) size
バスト (basuto) bust
ウエスト (uesuto) waist
ヒップ (hippu) hip
身長 (shinchou) height

By the way, it's no biggy but this forum is called 'Let's Practise Japanese' and is for talking in kanji. If you want more people to see questions like this in future, try the 'All About Japanese' forum :wink:

I know the kanji so I could transcribe this, but frankly I can't make heads or tails out of a couple of the katakana words:

材料
黒のアーバンツイル(表布用)150cm 幅 1.5m
接着芯 90cm 幅 1.5m
白のバイアスステープ (上衿縁とり、右カフス用) 2cm幅を1.1m
白のバイアスステープ (右カフス用) 0.5cm 幅を 70cm
シルバーのボタン 直径2cmを 3個, 直径1.4cm を4個
白のブレード (肩章用) 1.5cm 幅を50cm
白のロープ 太さ1cm と 0.6cm を 各40cm
接着ベルト芯 4cm 幅を80cm
フック式のバックル 1組


Noteworthy kanji:

黒 = black
表布 = surface-cloth
用 = use
幅 = width
接着芯90cm 幅 1.5m
白 = white
上衿縁 = upper-collar-edge
直径 = diameter
個 = counter for small objects
肩章 = shoulder strap
太さ = thickness
各 = each
芯 = ... lining?
フック式 = hook style

It's not great but I hope that helps.
