- bhaak 8y agoThat's wrong, Quasar is also the German word for Quasar. But it looks like that the Scandinavian and the Slavic languages use the form "kvasar".
- oska 8y agoWiktionary is good for finding what languages a particular sequence of characters appears in. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kvasar https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kvasar According to that entry, it appears in both Swedish and Czech (as an alternate spelling). Given the commenter's username is krokku and the fact that "krok ku" means "(a) step forward/towards" in Czech, I think we can assume that the commenter is Czech.
- bhaak 8y agoTwo entries are not that much. On Wikipedia you can look at the list of articles in other languages. Or go directly to Wikidata https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q83373 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q83373
- oska 8y agoAh, interesting. So I see it also appears in Danish, Estonian and Norwegian. But with the additional clue from the username I'm still betting on Czech.
- coinerone 8y ago"Kvasar" is Czech i think.
- ableal 8y agoSometimes I go to google translate to hear words pronounced, e.g. https://translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=de&tl=en&text=quelle%0A%0Aquasar%0A%0Aquantum https://translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=de&t... (I hear "kvasar" and "cantoom" for quasar and quantum)
