Traduction - Danois-Anglais - Tro at hver dag, som lyser, er din...

Hi Jair,

"illuminate" is a transitive verb, therefore we'll need an object here.

illuminates you?

or maybe 'shines'? (even if 'a day that shines' doesn't make much sense to me - but maybe I just need a bit more imagination )

Jair?

I think "shines" is fine, it doesn't make less sense than in Danish, since also in Danish it sound a bit awkward

Perhaps "...any shiny day,..." would fit

hver dag = every day

"som lyser" might be a metaphor for the dawning... (which dawns)

Hi Danish experts, could you help us here?

Thanks in advance

It's a rather akward translation to Danish of the Latin proverb "Omnem crede diem tibi deluxisse supremum" which literally does actually mean something like "Believe that each day that shines to you is your last one".
I do, however, believe that pias is right that the meaning of this is: "Know that each day that dawns may be your last". Either way, I think that both the literal and the non-literal translation should be mentioned.

What about this?

"Consider each day that dawns as the last for you."

Sorry to be soo late. Don't have much time free as I have to take care of my friens young kids.
Anita may be right.

I think that it can be understood like this too:

'Believe that each day which shines to you(which make you happy)is your last'.

Just noticed That Anita has proposed the same proposal as I have. But still like 'which make you happy'.
Anita, pls.

Awww, I like your proposal too Lene

Agree with Anita that the non-literal translation(s) should be mentioned too, maybe as a note.

Thanks dear Pia. Agree with Anita too concerning the non-literal translation. Maybe in the comment field.

Thank you girls

I've placed the non-literal version in the remarks.

Thanks for your help, Lilian.

I guess the Latin translation of this phrase is the one Anita wrote in her first message, isn't it?
So I think she deserves those points

Agree with you Alex.
