I'm trying to learn how to call people "fool" in their native language.
The only one I know besides English so far is Estonian, LOL.

German translation is wrong. good game in German means "gut gespielt". as you can see it looks similar to the dutch saying.

I'd love to collect as many as I can! Would anybody like to enlighten me for any languages that he/she speaks fluently?
Feel free to add to/correct the list I already have...
PS. If your language is in a script other than Roman, Greek, or Cyrillic, can you include its own alphabet, and also a Roman transliteration?
This is what I have so far:
ROMANIAN- bine jucat
SPANISH- buen juego/buena partida?
FRENCH- bon jeu
ITALIAN- buon giuoco
ICELANDIC- takk fyrir skákina
NORWEGIAN- takk for kampen
SWEDISH- bra match
DUTCH- goed gespeeld
GERMAN- Du spielst gut
RUSSIAN- Khoroshaya partiya
SLOVENIAN- dobra igra
BULGARIAN- dobra igra
POLISH- dobra gra
ARMENIAN- lav xax
MALAYALAM- nalla kali
TELUGU- baaga adavu; manchi aata adavu
HINDI- tu aache khela hey
FARSI- baziye khoobi bood
KHMER- orrb orr saa tor- (congratulations); neaak leng baan laaorr- (you played well)
KOREAN- johun gaeim 좋은개임
INDONESIAN- mantap; permainan yang bagus
MALAY- Perlawanan yang bagus
FIJIAN- akka bakka
SHONA-urikugona kutamba
BEMBA- mkwai
TURKISH- iyi oyun
Thanks friends!
the german one is not correct. Good game means Gutes Spiel. While Well played means Gut gespielt. Gespielt is the past form of play .to play= spielen, played=gespielt, so basicly its a word per word translation Good(gutes) Game(Spiel)
For Spanish, buen juego if they are on your side of the pond, buena partida for Spaniards.
That is correct
Also my native language is Frisian even though everyone speaks Dutch :P
in Frisian it's: goed spile
I was about to say that!
I'm pretty sure Welsh would be "chwarae da" (literally meaning well played)
I'm from the predominantly English-speaking part of Wales and am not fluent in Welsh so I can't swear to this.
Yo hablo español

HINDI- tu aache khela hey
well that's not correct,it simply means you played with both hands,and it also means your hands are dirty,and also the game you played stinks to high heaven, But not 'good game'! ;D

@Stolen_Authenticity: I haven't used Google Translator, mainly because I know that the phrase I'm looking for is idiomatic… for instance, not everyone will literally say "Good game" though that's the meaning I'm looking for… for instance in Icelandic they're saying, more or less, 'thanks for the chess'...
@ Mr_Nosegaffeier & Till_98: thanks for the German corrections…
@Suman3: Did someone trick me into saying something not nice for Hindi? What would the correct polite phrase be after a game is done?
Good game in Danish is Godt spil
ROMANIAN- bine jucat
SPANISH- buen juego/buena partida?
FRENCH- bon jeu
ITALIAN- buon giuoco
