This word is on a card that my OH has sent and we cannot find a translation....help needed please as he may have to apologise.

could it be 'No te agobies!'

then it would be from the verb AGOBIAR, which means to overwhelm/stifle with responsibility

so that would pretty much mean - don't do too much/overwhelm yourself

No it was definitely one word and when OH typed it into google it came up but no translation.

Rosemary

in that case I don't know unless it's a valenciano word

I'll have a look when I can find Jess's dictionary

My Translator just repeats the word, can't find a translation.

they always do that if there's no translation

I've tried a catalan translator, too


no joy

Don't forget that words are often condensed/compressed, eg pesao = pesado.

To be honest, no te agobies sounds like a very likely translation.

very true bil, very true but not usually when written

I can't think what else it could be - and it is the sort of thing you might find on a card

Well, looking in my 'Big Boy's Book of Spanish Werds' There is absolutely nothing that is similar.

I'm assuming this is some kind of greetings card? In the UK, words on these are sometimes misspelled for comic effect.

Could that be the case here?

This seems to be the most likely answer - translating to "take it easy" - which would be appropriate for a greetings card.

Yes, it is on a 40th birthday card. At least it looks like he has not been rude, thank goodness.

Rosemary

Think this fits as well as we can so will go with this.

Thanks

Rosemary

Does pesado mean heavy? As in crikey this box is heavy?

If only Son of Satan, I mean Spain, was still around to help out....



FWIW, I agree with Lynn on this one....
