Please help to translate "you find what you search"


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi there,

I would like to make a gift and write a wish with it, and I want to wish this person to find what she searches. I know how to write her name, but don't know the rest. Can it be something like:

, 找出 你 寻找 什么!

or is it completely wrong? Please help :)

How about:

< her name> 希望你能找到你想要的幸福

< her name> Hope you find the happiness you're looking for

I believe the common English phrase you are looking to translate is: "Seek, and ye shall find."

Thank you so much, friends!

I've decided to use 所尋必獲, because it small, looks like a motto and fits to the small gift that I have. Special thanks to skylee :)

Leeyah, thank you too for your complete sentence, it is very interesting to split it into words and study the grammar.

BrandeX, "Seek, and ye shall find" has the connotation "Why don't you seek? Do something!", or "You have to search to be able to find". And I wanted to say somethig like, "after so many years of searching, may your search be successful soon".

Have a wonderful day!

心想事成 is also nice

It means: may all you wish for come true :D

The whole well-wishing phrase goes: 心想事成,春风得意 & the second phrase means: wish you success in everything you do
