Hi everyone,
To make a long story short, I am looking for the word 'forever' in as many different languages as I can. I already have about 20, and most of the 'obvious' ones, I suppose.
I do have
swahili
polish
portuguese
romanian
russian
african
dutch
french
italian
japanese
spanish
slovak
vietnamese
zulu
sanskirt
yiddish
punjab
If you know the word 'forever' in another language, please let me know! (And the language). It'll be great!
I will post when I don't need them anymore. Thanks again! _________________ If you're hungry, I'd love your support! |

Well, "toujours" is "always" in French...

I've been editing the video tonight and thinking about your Forever idea. Still thinking about doing something similar Hope you don't mind.
Very cool idea!!
I like Torrey's Always too. I'm thinking maybe "Always and forever" - cross dissolving in the different languages and background of some photos from their wedding. At the end - something like - "When it comes to the language of love it all the same - Always and forever". We'll see how it really ends up... LOL
Good luck with your wedding gift! _________________ Al

Al, I would've paid good money to see what you could do with a wedding we recently attended. What do you get when you combine Star Wars and Fiddler on the Roof?

I know how to say "forever" in sign language, but it's kind of a visual thing.  |
