What is the word for "beautiful" in your language and what language is that?
the beautiful life | WordReference Forums
Multilinguists of Reddit, what's a beautiful word or phrase in another language for which there is no solid English translation?
Beautiful words from other languages?
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 love the responses this has gotten. Each one is awesome. Thanks guys!
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'm interested in languages that wouldn't be found on Google translate.
