Wouldn't "former fairy" be the right answer, here? I think the idea is that the person writting my be the addressee's former girlfriend or something... Ninouu can tell us if I'm right or wrong, of course.
Of course "old" can work, too ( as in "an old friend" ), but I just think it's a little more ambiguous... | | | 21 February 2007 21:49 | | | C'est marrant, j'allais dire exactement la même chose, je pense que je vais éditer avec "former", parceque "old", ça fait vieille peau quand même! | | | 22 February 2007 00:53 | | | Gosh - I don't know what to say. I wish we had another word for "fairy", because "old fairy" really sounds like a slang word for "old gay man". | | | 22 February 2007 12:15 | | | So, what about "former fairy" kafetzou?
doesn't sound too "repentant"? | | | 22 February 2007 14:44 | | | LOL - no, I think "former fairy" is fine, although we might say "angel" more frequently for this kind of relationship, but I think the English is just being used as a bridge here, and "angel" has more religious connotations in other languages, so let's leave it as is. | | | 22 February 2007 20:02 | | SahNumber of messages: 47 | yeah you're right, that last part of the translation was a bit ambiguous i perfectly agree |
