\nWe often wonder to what extent is language an accurate reflection of the spirit of a culture. For example, in the Arabic language, wishing newly-weds \u201cwell-raised\u201d or \u201crighteous\/virtuous\u201d children is a very common congratulatory expression. Recently, we were asked to translate a wedding card which included the following statement:<\/p>\n

\u062f\u0627\u0639\u064a\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0648\u0644\u0649 \u0639\u0632 \u0648\u062c\u0644 \u0623\u0646 \u064a\u0631\u0632\u0642\u0643\u0645\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0630\u0631\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0635\u0627\u0644\u062d\u0629<\/p>\n

Which literally translates to:
\nWe pray for God Almighty to grant you well-raised\/good offspring<\/p>\n

It seemed very awkward to convey such a statement to a Western couple, or is it? Is there an equivalent expression in non Arab\/non Islamic cultures? And is this a reflection of the importance of having children (or its lack thereof) in these cultures? Please share your thoughts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
