Hi everybody,
I would like some help getting a sentence translated in Russian. Someone is gonna use it as a tattoo, so I dont have to explain that its crucial its translated perfectly.
The sentence is:
"KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN".
Its a sentence that can also be found on bottles of toxic chemicals for example.
Thanks in advance
The exact phrase written on toxic stuff in Russian is literally "keep in the places unreachable for children" Is it okay for your tatoo or it will not make sense? If it is, then
ХРАНИТЬ В МЕСТАХ, НЕДОСТУПНЫХ ДЛЯ ДЕТЕЙ
If no, I would suggest a funnier phrase that means the same (Literally: don't give this to children")
ДЕТЯМ В РУКИ НЕ ДАВАТЬ
or simply
БЕРЕЧЬ ОТ ДЕТЕЙ
(keep from children)
I would also suggest to wait till somebody else suggest some other variants. Besides, what is as crucial as a proper translation, is that your Cyrillic encoding is correct and you see the Cyrillic characters above right.
Thanks Indra for your quick reply.
Its not for my own tattoo, so I'll ask my friend what he thinks.
And you're right about a second opinion; probably best to wait for some more feedback before running to a tattoo parlor :wink:
The Cyrillic characters look fine btw.
What about Keep far away from children! ?
ДЕРЖАТЬ ПОДАЛЬШЕ ОТ ДЕТЕЙ!
Well "Keep away/out of reach from children" is more of a standard thing written on such signs, adding the "far away" part would start to drift away from the sentence in question and that would make the translation further away from the closest version.
I just talked to my friend and he likes:
"Keep away from children"
Above, people translated Keep far away from children and keep from children, but not "Keep away from children".
Why does he want such a tatoo? Does he molest russian children or what? :lol:
bobbby: Don't expect a direct translation. The best your going to get is something that captures the essence of the meaning "Keep away from children".

Я не знаю точно, где будет эта татуировка, но подозреваю по логике, что вся фраза в длину не поместится. Влезет толькоQuote:

I think the best variant isQuote:
