Translate a sentence

Olsson88 · (#1 (**permalink**))

Hi. Could someone translate this english sentence to both japanese kanji/kana and to romaji? I would be really thankfull.

"The most important thing is your happiness."

Well, I would translate it to:
あなたの幸せが一番大切な物です。
anata no shiawase ga ichiban taisetsu na mono desu

I could...perhaps most likely...be wrong. It should be close enough though.

Close enough will do! Thanks alot.

Altough if anyone would like to chance something, please say so.

One OT question btw: Are there any site/program that I could use to zoom in the japanese sentence to see how to write the signs?

many browsers allow you to gold ctrl and scroll your mouse wheel to change the size of fonts etc. if that is not the solution you want you best bet is to copy and paste and then enlarge the font size on your text editor. there are many online dictionaries that have SOD (stroke order display) for characters as well.

お幸せは一番大切のものだ

i'd use こと instead of もの. and never use あなた, unless this is your spouse or similar

最も大切なことはbさんの幸せです

who is this addressed to?

Olsson88 · (#7 (**permalink**))

anrakushi: Thanks. Ctrl + scroll works fine

It's actually to an old girlfriend.. Not any more tought. So what would you use MrDrEsq?

MrDrEsq · (#8 (**permalink**))

mmm, use her name- do you know how to katakana smash?

Olsson88 · (#9 (**permalink**))

I don't know katakana yet. But I though about using this for that purpose.

As an actual translator/interpreter, I would write it as;

もっとも大切なのはあなたの幸せです。
(mottomo taisetsu na no wa anata no shiawase desu)

I see no problem at all with using anata unless it`s someone you just met on the street. But I highly doubt that is the case with this sort of phrase. Anata is NOT overly personal.
