How is 'prediction' translated?
- The word for 'prediction' is the same in the Chinese (Mainland and Taiwan), Korean, and Japanese versions (Chinese 預言 (Trad.) / 预言 (Simpl.) yùyán, Japanese 予言 yogen, Korean 예언 (豫言) yeeon). Mainland Chinese and Japanese use a different simplification of 預. The literal meaning is 'beforehand words' or 'beforehand saying'.
- Vietnamese tiên đoán (先斷) means 'prior judgement'.
The title given at the top of each page of the Vietnamese translation is slightly different from that given at the head of the chapter: Lời tiên đoán cùa gião sư Trelawney. The additional word lời means 'words' or 'sound'. - Mongolian does not use a Chinese-based word. Instead it uses the noun зөгнөл zögnöl, derived from the verb зөгнөх zögnökh 'to predict, foretell'.
For Professor Trelawney's name, see Names of People and Places.
