My wife an I went out to dinner today, and we saw this Delaware license plate on a car in the restaurant parking lot:
PV NRT
How nerdy can a person get? What a gas!

Ha. Good one.jtbell said:What kind of car was it? An ideal one like a BMW?
By having the other tag ... PV KNTHow nerdy can a person get?

Obviously more so than me; I had to Google to find out what the hell you were talking about.Chestermiller said:How nerdy can a person get?
Yea. Typo.Matterwave said:NKT...NKT I've never seen it as KNT. Just like it's nRT not RnT!
I Googled it and got some hits, but I still don't know what it's supposed to be. Try Googling it, and see what you can figure out.Mark44 said:A couple of years ago I saw a car whose WA license plate said '3EHKA'.
This was obviously (to me, at least) a personalized license plate. Can any of you figure out the meaning of this plate?
No, not even close.Maylis said:Eureka?
Here are a couple of hints: it was a personalized license plate for someone from a European country where they don't use a Roman alphabet.Chestermiller said:I Googled it and got some hits, but I still don't know what it's supposed to be. Try Googling it, and see what you can figure out.

Oh, okay then. That's more sensible. Until you divulged that, all that I could think of was that it might be a misspelling of a really bad poker hand.Mark44 said:it was a personalized license plate for someone from a European country where they don't use a Roman alphabet.
Not Russian, but you're on the right track. It's not Zack, but it does start with Z (as a Roman letter).Enigman said:Russian - Zack ?
LOL!Danger said:Oh, okay then. That's more sensible. Until you divulged that, all that I could think of was that it might be a misspelling of a really bad poker hand.
In the Cyrillic alphabet, 'З' corresponds to Z in the Roman alphabet, and 'H' corresponds to N, so the driver's name was probably Zenka.Mark44 said:A couple of years ago I saw a car whose WA license plate said '3EHKA'.
No, it doesn't, although I understand what you're trying to say. Russian doesn't have an 'H' sound, and the closest they have is X, which is similar to the sound of "ch" in the German "ach" or Scottish "loch". Non-Russian words that begin with the letter H get transformed to start with G, with one example I've been told of being Gitler, of Third Reich infamy.nuuskur said:H corresponds to G in cyrillic.
Letters that appear the same in both alphabets (Cyrillic and Roman) but are pronounced differently.nuuskur said:For instance Harry is Garry in Russian or what kind of correspondence are we talking about?
It took me a little while to figure out which letters you meant.Danger said:And you got to love my 3 favourite Cyrillic letters: (although I don't know how to spell them in Roman letters so I'll try phonetic): svar biznyik, mach biznyik, and yuri.
Danger said:Although it seems peculiar at first svar biznyik is actually no more complicated as a letter than "double-you" English. (And in fact, they are modifiers as opposed to actual letters.)
That's actually preferable to the way that I was taught: "church cheese".Mark44 said:shch (as in rash choice)
The letters on a Delaware license plate are known as the registration code, which identifies the county where the vehicle is registered. In this case, "PV" stands for Kent County.
The "NRT" on a Delaware license plate is known as the prefix, which indicates the type of vehicle. In this case, "NRT" stands for non-commercial truck.
You can obtain a Delaware license plate by registering your vehicle with the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles. You will need to provide proof of ownership, insurance, and pay the required fees.
The color of Delaware license plates changes every year and indicates the expiration date of the registration. The color for 2021 is blue and the color for 2022 will be yellow.
Yes, you can personalize your Delaware license plate for an additional fee. However, there are certain restrictions on what can be included on a personalized plate, such as profanity or offensive language.
