i would like to learn what is it called a "movie poster" in other languages. i learned some. but need help.

especially i couldn't learn Spanish one! for hours i tried. many dictionaries... but there is no "movie poster"! also Spanish Wikipedia has no Movie Poster article. so... elp please!

thanx in advance...

Cartel de cine is Spanish...

French is probably something like Affiche de cine

in french : affiche de cinéma, or : affiche de film

in Chinese: 电影海报 pronounced as dian ying hai bao

Well, Spanish really could be a lot more complicated lol

Poster= póster/s, cartel/es, afiche/s (last one the least used for people in the street) [http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartel]

And we could mix it with "de cine"(generic) or "de película/s"(specific). You would find more results in google using película. And you would find more using cartel than póster and póster more than afiche.

So in google results, from more to less...
"cartel de película"
"poster de película"
"afiche de película"
"cartel de cine"
"poster de cine"
"afiche de cine"

thanx a lot!

let's feed this thread more and more with other languages. may help other people, as well.

thanx

in portuguese from brazil:
poster or cartaz

i think "poster" is used internationally

In Polish: plakat

Also "poster" is correct.

Here' something realy different...
In Bulgarian (wich is cyrilic) it's "филмов плакат"
It spells "filmov plakat"
I hope i helped you

very very good topic ... i often thought bout that while searching for posters ... here's some more

german/swiss: filmposter / filmplakat
italian: locandina

In Icelandic we usually just refer to them as plakat (poster) but if we have to define them as movie poster I'd say it's kvikmyndaplakat.
