English term or phrase: slate coasters Greetings, It's great to be back after some time abroad and a wonderful visit to Wales. While in Wales I noticed some coasters made of slate being sold in a tourist shop. Please, how can I say ‘slate coasters’ in Persian? For coasters please see this page: http://purecontemporary.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/... Coasters are for resting one’s cup on so that no liquid ends up on the table / tablecloth.

Neda Namvar Kohan Iran 10:40 Aug 22, 2011  There is no extra kasre in تخته سنگ. But in لوح سنگی, you should read it as /lɔ:he sængi/ SeiTT United Kingdom ASKER Extra kasre? 10:18 Aug 22, 2011  Thank you so much, Neda. May I inquire if لوح سنگی and تخته سنگ have an extra kasre between the words, please? Neda Namvar Kohan Iran 08:11 Aug 22, 2011  the word we use for arduvaz in Persian is لوح سنگی، or تخته سنگ. پلمه (pælme) is also used to refer to the piece of slate used for writing on in the past. I didn't use palme since I thought it sounds archaic SeiTT United Kingdom ASKER More about Slate 06:48 Aug 22, 2011  Many thanks for the excellent help; I appreciate that this is a difficult question. For more on slate, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slate The Welsh for slate is llechfaen/llechi and the French is ardoise. Turkish, for example, uses 'arduvaz', which is a loanword from the French. Does 'arduvaz' awake any resonances in Persian? It might be spelt اردواز, for example. Automatic update in 00:

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) agree  Edward Plaisance Jr: "sangi" is OK but "zoghali" means "coal"...the dictionary has several definitions for slate, but I am not a geologist to know which is correct. 2 hrs   -> Thanks a lot, I used zoghali to refer to the color of slate coasters which are usually dark and inky. agree  Younes Mostafaei 9 hrs   -> thanks! agree  Ahmad Kabiri 19 hrs
