Ceyhun Əli, famous journalist, met the students of Translation Faculty of Azerbaijan University of Languages. The main topic, which they discussed, was the role of culture of speech in translation and the problems emerging in the process of translation. He emphasized that gestures, mimics, emotions and body language are one of the most important issues in speech.

Ceyhun Əli declared that speech has internal and external aspects and added that it plays a significant role in translation. He said that translation is the transformation of a message from one language to another, from one culture to another, but when the cultures are identical, and then speech becomes melodious.

Ceyhun Əli quoted a saying of A. Borges, which said: “Sword is the continuation of the hand”, therefore speech is also the continuation of the spirit and connected with the subconscious. He said that translation is an order of speech and speed of the speech tells of the richness of the idea, which is directly connected with the brain. Ceyhun Əli pointed out that in order to do a successful translation, one should know the target language perfectly and to achieve it he recommended to the students to read the works of the Azerbaijani writers Anar and Elçin.

At the end he answered to the questions of the students.
