what is a kvasar

[jbf1001]

I had to look it up too, it's the German word for Quasar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasar.

[bhaak]

That's wrong, Quasar is also the German word for Quasar.

But it looks like that the Scandinavian and the Slavic languages use the form "kvasar".

Wiktionary is good for finding what languages a particular sequence of characters appears in.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kvasar

According to that entry, it appears in both Swedish and Czech (as an alternate spelling).

Given the commenter's username is krokku and the fact that "krok ku" means "(a) step forward/towards" in Czech, I think we can assume that the commenter is Czech.

[bhaak]

Two entries are not that much. On Wikipedia you can look at the list of articles in other languages.

Or go directly to Wikidata https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q83373

[oska]

Ah, interesting. So I see it also appears in Danish, Estonian and Norwegian.

But with the additional clue from the username I'm still betting on Czech.

[ableal]

Sometimes I go to google translate to hear words pronounced, e.g. https://translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=de&t...

(I hear "kvasar" and "cantoom" for quasar and quantum)

[coinerone]

"Kvasar" is Czech i think.

[dan_hawkins]

It's quasar - OP is probably not a native speaker.

[UI_at_80x24]

I can guarantee that OP is infact a native speaker. English however might not be OP's native language. =)

[jamesrcole]

But given that the rest of the OP's comment was in English, it is natural to interpret the GPs comment as meaning "not a native speaker of the language they wrote the comment in (English)".
