Beautiful words from other languages?
Multilinguists of Reddit, what's a beautiful word or phrase in another language for which there is no solid English translation?
For a bit of context:
So this really good friend of mine has her birthday coming up very soon.
Her name is Isabella, but everyone just calls her Bella ("beautiful" in ??(some southern European language?)) and I often greet her with "Hey, beautiful" in the language we speak.
For her birthday, an idea I had was to make a card/poster/?? with the word for "beautiful" written in as many languages as possible. Sure, I could use something like Google Translate, but we all know how surprisingly difficult it can be to effectively use it, especially when looking for some word in a specific context.
I'm looking for the translation of "beautiful" in a phrase like "Good morning, beautiful!"
Feel free to add additional information that might be useful/interesting or even more than 1 translation if you happen to speak more than 1 language.
I'm really interested in hearing words from other languages that you find beautiful.
I'm especially interested in words that start with J that could be used as a middle name, like jaeger/jäger. My only issue with jaeger is it means "hunter" which is unappealing to me.
Thank you for any contributions to the thread!
I love the responses this has gotten. Each one is awesome. Thanks guys!
I'm interested in languages that wouldn't be found on Google translate.
