Pure destilled happiness. Plus she got the news delivered by Jeremy Renner. What a day!

Wonderful. This makes me happy.

Some things don’t translate well, though. “My beetroot”?

Pumpkin doesn't make sense either, so I just assume it's one of those cutesy nicknames. Either that, or maybe they just like Dwight Schrute. A lot.

I'm guessing the word in their language is a cutesy moniker, like pumpkin or peanut in English.

Yeah. Sounds odd, though. Now I have a better understanding of translators who insist on being literal vs. translators who are willing to bend the rules slightly in order to clarify what the speaker meant.

I recently have been thinking about this and it makes me wana learn another language. I feel like translation work is really cool. I feel like we sometimes take it for granted
