 | Can anyone translate these two for me? |

I have absolutely no clue and I've been searching all over the internet to find the translations. If anyone could help...that'd be great!! glikia mou thespinis mou Thanks!! |

I'm not greek, either, but perhaps I can still help. "glikia mou" is properly spelled: "γλυκιά μου" and means: "my sweet one", probably "my sweetheart" "thespinis mou" is properly spelled: "Δεσποινίς μου" and means (literally) "my Miss". ("my girl") |
| Re: Can anyone translate these two for me? |
| Correct translations but a note: in general, "despoinis mou" is sort of wquivalent for "my young lady" not "my girl" |

Can i have a big request for u guys?? What does it mean, exactly MANA MOU...and this sentences: Pragmatika en pou ta pio wraia pou ethkievasa! En ginetai! thank you a lot in anticipation Robert |

Hi there MANA MOU literally means "my mom/mother" (the form MANA is a sort of in-between the "formal" MITERA and the form "MAMA"= mom) As an expletive though it can have many meanings and show admiration, fear etc. It is also used as a term of indearment (my next door neighbour, almost old enough to be my granny, uses it when she talks to me quite often  )Now for the sentences. They are both in the Cypriot dialect. (It is) indeed one from the most beautiful/ nicest (books?) I've read. It's impossible (verbatim: It's not happening) |

I'm not Greek but I recognize some of these words. Pragmatika--Really, En ginetai --I'm am almost 100% sure it is - Get Well! The Greek is "Na ginetai" it is the Greek word "to cure" but used in the reflexive as you have indicated it means to "get well" as in "Cure yourself" Like in the following sentence Efkome na genis kala-- "I hope you are curing well" This is how the Greeks say "Hope you're getting better!" maybe this helps you a little as for the other words, because they are translitterated appear a little strange (This could be Cypriot dialect perhaps) "en pou" could be "Na pow" "I am going" alangagne@hotmail.com |

Sorry to disappoint you, but "en ginetai" is 100% not "get well"... It is indeed Cypriot-greek and it means "Not happening". Maybe in this context is more like "no way"... "Na ginetai" means: to happen. "to cure" is therapevo= θεραπεύω, and last... the phrase "cure yourself" is more like "na sai kala" (loosely translated, figuratively speaking/a wish of well being) or "perastika" (loosly translated, literaly speaking/someone is ill) |

my sweet my miss |

paul, my sweet is glyka mou my miss could be despi mou or despina mou. Sorry I haven't mastered the Greek keyboard characters yet. |
| Re: Can anyone translate these two for me? |

I think you mean "Despoinis mou" Δεσποινίς μου in Greek characters. If, that is, "miss" has its usual meaning. I also prefer glykia mou (γλυκιά μου) to glyka mou (γλύκα μου) although that's more a case of personal preference. As for "mana mou" see my previous post. One of the ways it is used that I'm talking about is to express admiration (sort of like "wow" or indeed "mama mia" ) |
