natën e mirë dashuria ime
The English phrase "goodnight my love" is translated into Albanian as natën e mirë dashuria ime.
This phrase is used to say goodnight to a romantic partner or someone the speaker loves.
Did you know?
- The Albanian word mirë shares a prehistoric linguistic ancestor with the Latin word mītis, which specifically described food that was soft and not chewy.
- While dashuria ime means 'my love', Albanians also use the word zemër meaning 'heart' as a common term of endearment when saying goodnight.
- If you were to say this to a person you are not dating, it might be seen as a very heavy romantic gesture due to the intensity of 'dashuria'.
Examples in context
- Natën e mirë, zemra ime.Goodnight, my heart.
- Gjumë të ëmbël, natën e mirë dashuria ime.Sweet dreams, goodnight my love.
- Po shkoj në shtrat, natën e mirë dashuria ime.I am going to bed, goodnight my love.
