Hey All... can you check this for me (I am hoping it says... I'm Sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you)

Λυπάμαι, συγχωρέστε με, σας ευχαριστώ, σ 'αγαπώ

It's an ancient Hawaiian healing chant that I am thinking of having tattooed on my leg... but in Greek

Yeah, that's about right.

Yeah, that's about right.

Yeah. Agreed but there's no "please" ... oh and isn't the "σας ευχαριστώ" in the plural whereas "σ 'αγαπώ" is in the singular ?????

... but tattoos ... yuk! except for those just above cute girl's bums of course.

Yuk - I am not keen on "Arse antlers" - still it takes all sorts

You might want to say "συγγνώμη" instead of "λυπαμαι", you use λυπαμαι for saying "im sorry to ... im sorry for..im sad for.." etc. While συγγνώμη is used more for apologising to someone and is a better fitting word in my opinion.

"Please forgive me" translated to "συγχωρέστε με" means "forgive me" when addressing more than one person οr/and when you are speaking formally/politely to someone. In singular it'd be "συγχὠρα με". (there is no "please" there, if there were it would be "σε παρακαλὠ συγχὠρα με").

Same with "Thank you": "σας ευχαριστω" is formal/polite in plural form. In singular it's "σ'ευχαριστώ".

"Σ΄αγαπώ" is fine. It's in singular though. If you want plural just add "σας" at the start instead if "σ΄"

Hope this helps.
