    Smile Goodnight! Bonne Nuit! Gute Nacht! Oiche Maith! shab-bakhayr! Tesbeheen Ala Khayr!

    I thought this would be a nice idea for a thread. Why not pop in here before you hit the hay (go to bed) and wish all your fellow litnetters goodnight!
    I hope the Urdu and Arabic translations are okay!

    So as we say in Ireland
    Oiche Maith mo Cairde! see you all tomorrow!

    G' night all!
    Hwæt! We Gar-Dena in geardagum,/Þeodcuninga þrum gefrunon,/hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon!
    Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,/ monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah,/ egsode eorlas, syððan ærest wearð/ feasceaft funden; he þæs frofre gebad,/ weox under wolcnum, weorðmyndum þah,/ oðþæt him æghwylc þara ymbsittendra/ofer hronrade hyran scolde,/gomban gyldan. Þæt wæs god cyning!

    Yes, the Urdu one is very fine.

    But the French is BONNE nuit, ain't it?

    Well I'm not going to bed, it's half past 3 in the afternoon... well technically I'm IN bed but just because my desk is uncomfy...

    I knew i had that wrong but for some reasn my edit on the title wont change, and i had to drop the "Say" just to fit it in...
    I think i assumed it was Bon because Bonsoir, Bonjour etc...
    Goes to show how easy it is to forget a language in seven years.

    Good Night All then!

    Full many a gem of purest ray serene
    The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear:
    Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
    And waste its sweetness on the desert air.

    From Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard ~ Thomas Gray

    It is very nice idea ,
    but Tesbeheen In Arabic is just for feminine , and it is Tesbah in masculine .
    and in plural Tesbahu.
    Tesbaheen Ala Khayr ,
