Question:
quote:
"What if you were using a word or term in one language eg French but you speak English. Is it acceptable to find both English and French words in the original French term? Are we confined to just sticking with the one language to match the original words?"
Answer:
quote:
We are a multilingual people on this planet.
English is a melting pot language containing the words from many different languages down through time.
I personally see no valid reason to exclude any words simply because they are not in English.
For example:
The word "LOVE" is very rare to most folks' names.
What is they want "LOVE" in their name/Lexgram? Adding an "L" or any other letter to force a Lexigram to say what you desire is wrong. However as I said, English is a melting pot language comprised of many languages especially at the etymological levels.
They may not have "LOVE", but may have any of these for example:
amour
amore`
ami
Eros
Agapē
Storge
amado (sweetheart)
amante (sweetheart)
amistad (friendship)
amor (pure love, romantic love)
