A few more sentences into lebanese pls

Cristina19 · 11-04-2006, 10:52 AM

Could someone translate this into lebanese for me pls?

1) you've done a good job
2) don't let yourself go (= don't give up)
3) better times will come
4) I'll drop by soon (meaning "I'll pay you a short visit")

Hello Cristina,

1) you've done a good job
To a male: 3melt sheghl mnee7 (kteer) "kteer is not really there in the letteral translation but using it is kinda better"
To a female: 3melti sheghl mnee7 (kteer)

2) don't let yourself go (= don't give up)
To a male: ma testaslem (also la testaslem)
To a female: ma testaslmi (also la testaslmi)

3) better times will come
This would be kinda weird if translated letterally, it would better be :
ra7 tejy aw2ait a7san men hay (meaning "times better that this will come")

4) I'll drop by soon (meaning "I'll pay you a short visit")
To a male: ra7 merr 3alayk 3an 2areeb
To a female: 3alayki 3an 2areeb

You are most welcome Cristina
I just noticed that in the first sentence translating I said "mnee7" is not there but I actually meant "kteer is not there", I am so sorry, it's some kind of a typo

Alan, that's what I thought too

Thanks again
