  -> Faleminderit Nick. Megjithatë, përkthimi nuk mund të bëhet gjithmonë fjalë për fjalë. Siç e them lart: "One could say this sentence in a few different ways, but the above translation express the meaning" clearly. Best, Ani :)

The source does not say \"whose children\". It\'s an open question; it might imply \"our children\" or \"children in general\", and my translation does so too :)

neutral  aneta_xh: Nick, mendoj se ky përkthim s'është shumë i qartë e i saktë. Psh, "loving children". Which children, ours, yours or children in general? Gjithashtu, "loving children" s'është në origjinal. Ndoshta "lots of love for .." po të ishit besnik ndaj origjinalit?

  -> Dear Aneta, in general, I agreed with your answer. As per your comment: "We lived with lots of love for children" would be a word-per-word translation. Instead, "We lived by loving children very much" would sound more English to me, and faithful.
