Tantine | | | 12 March 2010 11:14 | | | I feel that the word stigmatize, although exactly the same word in both languages, used in English, has a negative connotation which is not found in the original Greek. Therefore I feel that a better translation in this case of "Στιγματίζω" would be "make a (permanent) impression on" | | | 12 March 2010 15:59 | | | Hi ppediaditis
I was wondering about the pejorative side of the word "stigmatise"
Marinagr, what if we put "Your presence has made a permanent impression on my life?"

Tantine | | | 12 March 2010 16:30 | | | You can change it if you want but i don't really agree with this phrase. I think that "a permanent impression on my life" is not so strong as "stigmatise", so it cannot be an equivalent. | | | 12 March 2010 17:56 | | | Hi marinagr
I will leave your translation as it is, but will note in the remarks field, just in case someone wants a "softer" version Then I'll validate.
