I remember looking up Equity.
Still not sure if I understand what it means...

>>75138217
It means Kapital and most often in the sense of Eigenkapital. Hope this helps.

>>75138180
>bona fide

for real? i thought swiss at least had a basic knowledge of french or italian to get some basic latin

in my case just searched paccionar, another way to say pactar (to agree)

kith - knowledge; one's native land; one's friends
tilth - agricultural work
fey - giving an impression of vague unworldliness

>>75138217
It's your share of ownership in something.

>>75138302
It's often used a a synonym for "real" nowadays and not only "in good faith". That's confusing to me. A good way to remember the word for me is as the opposite of "rogue".

>\fe'tä-gre-fe \

Wonder if that's an actual joke or animator laziness

Hmm, ok. Pic related was the reason I looked it up.

>>75138457
Neither. It's how it's pronounced in standard American English and was notated in the dictionary for a long time. You can check Merriam-Webster's online dictionary and see something similar.

>>75138529
It's a bit of a complicated definition, because it has origins as meaning 'one's fair share of something'. We use it nowadays to denote ownership, but it can also just mean 'fairness' or 'what one is rightfully entitled to'.

How does it work? That's clearly not international phonetic alphabet, and I don't see how it would correspond to the pronunciation. This is how it would be pronunced in Finnish: http://vocaroo.com/i/s09lXJq8xV4I which sounds way less like the original word than just the original spelling. I want to know the logic here, can you explain?

Sure, there's two systems for how pronunciations are notated in English dictionaries - IPA and syllabic. Syllabic is older, but it's not a single consistent system. Rather, it uses a set of syllables that are common enough that the average English-speaking person would, upon seeing it, be able to reproduce the word's sound.

In this case you have fe'ta, which uses a short e because it's followed immediately by a stop and a consonant, meaning the short e is barely voiced. The final 'fe' is by itself with a dash so it uses a long e (like fee). So an American would see this and probably say 'fehtahgrahfee' (with that first 'eh' very short). Here's how I pronounce it: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1rBJqkQdUKL

These kinds of ad hoc syllabic systems have been mostly phased out nowadays in favor of IPA, but some still do provide them. You'll often find the later ones mix in some IPA too, so it just gets extra confusing.

In Spain is used mostly with the judicial meaning but most of the time we use the spanish translation "de buene fe".

Can you pronounce this correctly.

Since I have learnt German language at school.

A promontory is a raised mass of land that projects into a lowland or a body of water (in which case it is a peninsula).
