First some Engliz:

These weird combination of letters are actually words translated in some different languages, and concatenated.

Each line has one word translated in different languages. These nine words form three groups of three words each, with groups separated on the basis of a common relation.

What you have to do:

  • Find the words
  • Find the languages
  • Find the groups

Since this question is the first part of a series of questions I'll be posting, so this one has a couple of easy workarounds.

  • $\begingroup$ Are all 9 lines an individual word? Or do all three rules apply to each line? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The way I read the question, there is no final group. The 'common relation' is between the groups of three words, which you've already answered. $\endgroup$
