Talk:Endowment (Syrdyk kyuyus)

English Title

Syrdyk kyuyus (Yakut Сырдык күүс) is the temporary name of this page. While, this movie is Russian, the original language is Yakutian, while the Russian language is only subtitles. I absolutely don't know Yakut language, so, I can't translate this title. So, I leave this title for discussion about the better title, than it should be renamed.

Russian title is Дар ([1], for example). As far as I understand the story, it is дар in the meaning дарование, so "Talent" or "Endowment" are possible translations (if I'm not wrong). --Greg-Z (talk) 12:15, 18 November 2018 (EST)

The young orphan girl, named Mariya (her father was killed by the crime gang) adopted by her grandfather, who is apowerfull shaman. He teach his granddaughter to shamanic skills. When Mariya grew up, she became a well known shaman as well. Among the other cases, she uses her skill to hind and resque the peoples, kiddnapped by the criminals and fight against criminals as well.

So, yes, it's means дарование. How do you think,whats the better title: the "Talent" or "Endowment"? Pyramid Silent (talk) 12:32, 18 November 2018 (EST)

As spiritual endowment is translated as духовный дар (just our case, right?), I would opt for "Endowment". Greg-Z (talk) 13:31, 18 November 2018 (EST)

Many thanks! I renamed the page.

PS. As it can be seen in Russo-Yakut translator, the word "Сырдык" means a "light color" or "noble" and the word "күүс" means "power" or "energy", so, it's possibly means something like a "Noble Power", but I guess, that a quality translation of the official Russian title is a much better, that machine traslation (with unknown quality and unproving) of the original title.
