How do you write 'beloved father' in Greek using the english alphabet

how would you write:

i love you steven in spanish?

"Te quiero, Steven" (or "Te quiero, Esteban"). —Stephen 12:24, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

"Te amo, Steven" would be more appropriate if Steven is more than a friend. Loiseaujoli 16:52, 29 May 2007 (UTC)9:45 AM 29 May 2007(PDT)

Partly this depends on 1) which meaning of "love" is meant and 2) whether the statement is made in public or in private, in my experience. Very few native Spanish speakers (at least in Mexico or Peru, where I've been) would say "te amo" in public. Most would publicly say, "Te quiero", regardless of the intimacy of the relationship, because "te amo" is considered to be an intimate phrase, not to be said in public except in rare circumstances. In private, they would use whichever word fit the situation, but people who are in love (even married) use both to each other in private, since they have slightly different meanings, like the difference between saying "I love you" and "I cherish/appreciate you" in English, both of which I can say to my wife. --Cromwellt|Talk|Contribs 23:32, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I don’t understand what you are trying to say. What language are you talking about? What is the English? Do you want to translate "cigaretted cake with honey", or "cake with cigaretted honey", or what. What is a cigaretted cake (or cigaretted honey)? —Stephen 14:55, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

English to Greek

Beloved little sister (αγαπημένη αδελφή)

Beloved Father/Papa (αγαπημένος πατέρας)

Αδελφή, means sister. Little sister would be 'αδελφούλα', the diminutive. Or even, 'αδερφούλα', λ and ρ often being interchangeable. Anyway, nobody would say in Greek just αγαπημένη αδελφούλα. It sounds wrong and translated word by word straight from the ditionary. Αγαπημένη μου αδελφούλα would be the correct form. The possessive 'μου=my' is indispensable. Same thing for the father. Ο αγαπημένος μου πατέρας or, Αγαπημένε μου πατέρα, if you are addressing him.

how do you say forgiven in irish gaelic

dinner

how do u translate "dinner" in Spanish?

Dinner = la cena. —Stephen 14:04, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

It would depend on exactly which meal you mean. Some places I've lived, "dinner" refers to lunch (almuerzo/comida ("food", technically)), and in some places it refers to supper (cena). Generally, it means the largest meal of the day (which is where the ambiguity comes from), or can mean a special meal like a banquet (banquete). --Cromwellt|Talk|Contribs 23:45, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Zhushika

Hi, My Hungarian pastor used to call me Zhushika..or at least that's how I remembered him pronouncing my name (birthname: Susan). I've seen others online use that name as their online name and thought it was the Hungarian version of my name. A friend of mine (another Hungarian descendent named Susan) told me I was wrong and that there was another version and spelling for the name. Can you tell me what the actual meaning of this word (or at least one that he might have meant that is close to this pronunciation? Like I said, I don't know how he might've spelled it...just how it sounded when he said it. "Zhushika" is my made up spelling of how it sounded. Thanks, Suz

Zhushika would be spelt Zsusika in Hungarian (Hungarian s = sh), but I think the pronunciation "Zhuzhika" is more common, which would be Zsuzsika. —Stephen 15:49, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Note: the Hungarian for Susanna is Zsuzsanna. —Stephen 23:30, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
