souhlas kolegů (celkem): +1dear and nice (but see explanation) Vysvětlení: Can you be more specific about the context? These words can have several different meanings depending on the actual context, but if you use is as adjective about a woman etc. (is this what you mean?), then the equivalent for "drahá" is "dear" (e.g. moje drahá manželka = my dear wife) and "milá" is "nice" (Jeho manželka je milá = His wife is nice). You can also use "drahá" when addressing a woman, especially your wife, meaning "dear/love/honey" (e.g. "Pojď sem, drahá. = Come here, honey.), and "milá" can also be used as a noun, meaning "girfriend" or "sweetheart" (but this use is very formal or literary).

You should have stated that in the first place :-) I think the word youn want on on yuor body is "láska" (if you want the translation for love as the strong feeling of affection for someone) |

dear and sweet Vysvětlení: dear - mila: dear in human relationships is what Czechs use "drahy/a/e", for the same reasons why it became popular in all languages. Dear represents something as valuable like gold...and personal relationships lead to the feeling that someone is dear to them...like if they lost it, they lost all their gold, which is "dear." sweet - mily/a/e: Any Czech who is truly "mily" is what we could call in American English "sweet"....kind is .05% off of that mark with room for argument... |
