	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	Hi Italo, You've chosen difficult verbs to express the "prayer". "prepossess" could be "captivate" "flush me", perhaps " illuminate me" About "stream" I don't imagine what you mean with it.

	italo07 Number of messages: 1474	Hey Lilian, you could also say "fulfil" instead of "prepossess". I disagree with "captivate". But I agree with "illuminate me". The word "durchstrÃ¶men" consist of 2 words: durch + strÃ¶men. A word by word translation would be "through + stream". What about "flow through" or "seep through"?

	italo07 Number of messages: 1474	"overflow" sounds good in German it would be "Ã¼berfluten/Ã¼berstrÃ¶men" Now the next question: fulfill or fulfil? American English or British English??

	italo07 Number of messages: 1474	Hello pirulito, the original text says "durchfluten". "illuminate" is a good transalation.
