ترجمه - Am I happy now?. (انگلیسی)

I accept what it is => I accept what is

Wish what belongs to me => Wish for what belongs to me.
Though I think that "Want what I have" sounds much better.

I accept what is

Want what I have

Happiness is my nature

Unhappiness is my own choice

Hi Casper,
Doesn't this mean:
I want what I have
in the original Swedish?

CC: casper tavernello

It means:
Accept it as it is
Wish what I have
I'm not that sure, but both phrases look like imperative mood. It would be "I accept/wish" just if Acceptera and Önska are misspelled, because the conjugated forms are "accepterar/önskar".

These phrases are tips (not the best ones, but...).

1- Accept the things as they are
The first reason that makes us miserable is that we want the life to be something it is not.
2- Wish the things you have
The second reason for us to be miserable is that we wish things we don't have.

So I think that the other versions should be edited (according to the opinion of the experts for Swedish, of course).

Im not sure that "Acceptera det som är" should be translated into "I accept what it is"

I don't think it's misspelled Casper, you are right that it is imperative mood!

TITLE: Am I happy now?

Accept what is (meaning = Accept the things or existence that are)
Wish what I have (meaning = Wish the things or existence that I have)
Happiness is my nature
Unhappiness is my choice

I accept whatever it is
I admire what I have
Happiness is my nature
Misfortune is my choice.

This translation is not wrong at all. The problem is that it's based on the French version, which is certainly incorrect.

So, I think we have to decide first the translation in English based in the original in Swedish and then try to correct the French one.

Pia, Lenab, what would your version in English be, please?

Lilian,
I have given mine above..but since my English is not perfect, lets wait for Lena

I think that an accepted translation may lead other versions to incorrectness.
I'll set the requested ones to stand-by.

OK, Let's compare:

Lenab's version:
Am I happy now?

Accept what there is
Wish what I have
Happiness is my nature
Misfortune (unhappiness) is my choice


Pia's version:
Am I happy now?

Accept what is
Wish what I have
Happiness is my nature
Unhappiness is my choice

Almost the same except for the first line.

Could words in this line change a little in order to make things clear?

What about:

"Accept things as they are."

If "things" means both material things and circumstances, I will say YES.

"Accept things as they are" would be: "acceptera det som det är".
I actually think Pias first line is more accurate than mine!

I think that first and second line could have been translated better by "I accept what is // Wish what I have//". The "it" in first line is disturbing.

Have read all your messages. If I understand there is only one line to change in the French : The first one :

Accepte ce qui est

au lieu d' " J'accepte ce qui est"" or am I wrong?

SORRY. FORGOT TO CC YOU.

No, you didn't, but I replied in your inbox. Good night!

I think you are right Gamine.

Francky, that seems to be the final English version.
Do you think you could edit the French version accordingly in order to avoid negative votes when setting a new poll for this one?
