How do you say Satan in other languages?

[Bestbank Tiger]

I'm curious because the Penguins have a player named Miroslav Satan (pronounced Sit-TAN). I'm guessing it doesn't mean the same thing in Slovakia.

It does, but you need an accent over the S I believe.

In Polish it's Szatan. (The sz is pronounced like a sh in English. so.. Shah-tahn)

 

[Lone Wolf]

In Russian - Satana. (all "a"'s are pronounced like "u" in "luck").

 

[Bast]

Saton in French.

 

[Phlegmak]

Shaitan - Arabic.

Samael - Hebrew ?

 

[warpus]

You can also call him Diabeł in Polish.

The local media has a real ball with that one. Especially the sportstalk geeks.

 

[Kyriakos]

Satanas

 

[Phlegmak]

Diablo - Spanish

 

[Kyriakos]

We also have Diabolos, which is a greek word, from the verb Diabalo. But Satanas is used as well..

 

[Maimonides]

Samael - Hebrew ?

Nah. It's "Satan" in the original Hebrew, but not with a long A as pronounced in English.

I'm not 100% sure without checking, but I think Samael is Aramaic.

 

[moscaverde]

In portuguese (Brazil) you can say:

"Ďábel" or "satan" in Czech. Same in Slovak. However, name is not Miroslav Satan but Miroslav Šatan.

 

[Yared]

Satan or the more used Fanders

though we shorten it to fan "FAN!!!!"

[Mirc]

Satana.
Diavol / Diavolul *
Drac / Dracul * (from the Latin word for "dragon")

Romanian.

__________________
* = ("devil" as opposed to "the devil", see Sofista's example above - most languages put the article in front of the words but we attach it to the end; it's "ul" here as opposed to "il"/"el" in Italian/Spanish)

 

[suiraclaw]

Litterally translated to Dutch would be just satan as well, but we almost never use that name (rather "de Duivel" or just as often "Duvel" in dialect, like the beer).
