Need some translation help
« on: January 19, 2011, 02:52:44 pm »
Hi, thanks in advance for any help!

I want to say "happiness forever" / "everlasting happiness" - words to that effect. This is something I intend to have made into a necklace and give to my girlfriend, so I want to make sure I have it right.

How is this:

영원히 행복

Thanks again!

if you are going to leave it at those two words, i'd write "영원한 행복"

if you wanna use what you have..."영원히 행복하자" would work better ("let's be happy forever")

Hi!  This is kind of a long translation.  I'm trying to get a half day off of work to take a Korean language placement test, so... how would i say that in Korean?

한국어...... 수...일....

Sorry it's such a specific question.  Any suggestions would be helpful!  (Also, my Korean coteachers are unavilable until February...)  Thanks!!
