[QUOTE="Ancien-Membre, post: 5411275, member: 364996"] Hello Fredeni, The morrocan saying I did suggest you as an equivalent was with the second meaning you stated in mind. In fact, cultural and linguistic barriers make it sometimes difficult to find the right equivalence. As you know probably, in Morocco, most of us are muslims, and so, in our everyday's life, the name of God (Allah) is omnipresent. And this is the case also about many sayings. There is another one that is popular, commonly used, and sounds really nice.: "Dnya hanya wa sma safya" wich means "Everythng goes well" or "Don't worry, life is beautifull" Literally: Dnya: the world, the earth hanya: is quiet, is peaceful wa: and sma: the sky safia: is pure (blue) Moroccan speaking, like most dialects, is limited, not as rich or beautiful (at least for me) as classical arabic or arabic for short, an incredibly rich and complex language that is called "the language of poets". Follows is an extract from an article (link below) about how rich arabic language is: [Take just one English word love and you will find more than 50 Arabic words to appropriately describe it, each more harmonic than the last] [url]http://www.alarabiya.net/views/2008/11/15/60190.html[/url] Fred, a tatoo is something very personal, expressive and can last for the entire life. Take your time, ask in other places than here, and at best, try to get in touch with a moroccan linguist, writer, poet, someone who can really suggest you the right choice. I would have for sure used for myself the suggestion I made to you, still there must be a much better equivalent. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
