Hello,
I would like to write a card wishing my italian neighbor happy easter in italian. can someone please translate this short message for me.. if it matters i am a 25 year old girl and he is a 70 year old man (for respect in the message...)

Happy Easter Luigi!
I wish you and your family the best.

Thank you so much!!!!
Julie

 

Buona Pasqua Luigi.
Auguro ogni bene a te ed alla tua famiglia

hope it helps

 

Hi julie,

welcome to the WR Forums

We can use the respect form (Lei) in Italian, even when we address someone with their name (not last name). It just depends on you and your relationship with that person.

I give you the other translation:

Buona Pasqua Luigi!
Auguro ogni bene a Lei e alla Sua famiglia

 

Ciao!

I would like to write my friend an Easter card in Italian so was wondering if somebody could please help me translate this short message?

'May God bless you and your family and bring you peace, love and joy this Easter.'

I can only translate single words and am not sure how to link them up to form a comprehensible sentence.

This is as much as I can do... Possa dio ti benedica e la vostra famiglia e portili pace, amore e gioia questa pasqua.

Grazie!

 

Hi Nattus, and welcome to the WRF!

 

I need some help with an Easter greeting too! Does it sound too cold to write "Buona Pasqua (name)! Auguro ogni bene a te!"?
I would like to send this to a very dear friend of mine to surprise him with my "knowledge" of Italian, any suggestions on a bit warmer greeting? Pretty please

 

How about just adding an "abbracci" and "baci"?

 

I would like to write the following in italiano:

"Greetings from San Francisco!

I hope you and your family had a nice Easter."

Here is my "partial" attempt:

Saluti da San Francisco!

Spero che tu og tua familigia ?? una buona pasqua.

 

...mi auguro che tu a la tua famiglia abbiate trascorso una Buona Pasqua"

 

Grazie Spiritoso78!

Would you be so kind and please explain to me why you are recommending that I use "auguro" instead of "spero" in my example.

Grazie di nuovo!

 

Ahhh..yes, sorry for my changing that verb, but honestly I prefer saying " Mi auguro/ I wish you may spend.." instead of using " I hope". In my personal view, I consider " to wish" more intense and warmer than " to hope"...this is my mere opinion Grefsen! You can replace "Spero" anytime you want according to your choice or preferences!

Ciao di nuovo!! alla prossima

 

I really do appreciate your opinion.

Since this is a message to my best friend in Italy, I most definitely want to use what sounds "more intense and warmer."

So would "It is my wish that you and your family have spent a nice Easter" be an approximate translation of what you are suggesting?

Mille grazie!

 

Yes, exactly! Your final translation gives the proper idea of my italian version.

Ciao and ...I wish you have a nice day Grefsen!

 

Comunque, si doveva usare la congiunzione "e", non la preposizione "a"...
