7 | I will wish everyone I meet today ‘Happy Valentine!' | Arahabaiko hoe ‘Tratry ny Fitiavana!' ‘ireo olona izay mihaona amiko androany |

15 | Over in Haiti, the Livesay Weblog changes the focus from romantic love to a more all-encompassing kind - spiritual love: | Ao Haiti, Livesay Weblog nanova ny resaka fitiavana romantika ho amina karazana fitiavana amin'ny ankapobeny- fitiavana ara-panahy: |
16 | Our house is FAR too chaotic for romantic candle lit rice and bean dinners. | TSY mety amin'ny tokatranonay ny mampiasa labozia romantika raha hihinambary sy tsaramaso sakafo hariva. |
17 | We didn't get the time to grab treats for our kiddos. | Tsy manam-potoana hitadiavana mofomamy ho an'ireo zanakay koa izahay. |
18 | Getting flowers of any quality would require a TON of time in traffic. | Mitaky fotoana BE noho ny fitohanan'ny fiara ny fitadiavana izay mety ho voninkazo. |
19 | Most of the greeting cards in our area are in French, a language we don't speak or read…none of that matters because when we choose to focus on the God of love and the love in our house RATHER THAN the insane circumstances swirling around us - it makes every day feel like a day to celebrate. | Amin'ny teny frantsay avokoa ny ankamaroan'ny karatra firarian-tsoa aty amin'ny faritra misy anay, teny izay sady tsy fiteninay no tsy vakianay…tsy misy dikany avokoa izany rehetra izany satria raha misafidy hifantoka amin'ny fitiavan'Andriamanitra isika sy ny fitiavana ny tokantranontsika NOHO NY zavatra tsy misy dikany manakorontana antsika- dia ho toy ny andro fankalazana ny androntsika isan'andro. |
20 | Of course, some bloggers do the “not-Valentine's day” thing, while others, like Guyana-Gyal, make the point that “everything is a commodity now. | Mazava loatra, mpamahana bolongany sasantsasany no manao zavatra amin'ny “tsy Andron'ny Mpifankatia”, raha manamarika ny hafa, tahaka an'i Guyana-Gyal, nanamarika fa “entam-barotra avokoa ny zava-drehetra ankehitriny. |
21 | Even love”: | Na dia ny fitiavana aza”: |
22 | Last night, on tv, ads for Valentine shows bang-a-lang me nerves like generators in the dark. | Ny alina farany teo, manelingelina ahy tahaka ny gropy mandeha amin'ny alina ny dokambarotra momba ny ny fetin'ny mpifankatia miseho amin'ny fahitalavitra. |
23 | Everybody seeking light in one form or another but making noise instead o' beauty. | Mitady hazavana amin'ny fomba tokana ny olona rehetra kanefa mitabataba raha toa ka fahafinaretana no tadiavina |
24 | What happened to good old-fashioned walks in the moonlight, holding hands, whispering wishes to falling stars? | Inona no nitranga tamin'ny fitsangatsanganana taloha ao anatin'ny tsinam-bolana, mifampi-tanana, maneho firarian-tsoa amin'ny alalan'ny kintana mandalo? |
25 | In Cuba, the concept of love takes on additional layers; at Translating Cuba, Rebeca Monzo writes: | Ao Kiobà, ahitana endriny hafa ny fankalazana ny teny hoe fitiavana, Translating Cuba , Rebeca Monzo nanoratra: |
26 | The fact remains that to be alive, and even more to be in love, gives us enough energy to overcome so many difficulties, and each of us celebrates in our own way this and other dates. | Mitoetra ny marina fa raha velona, indrindra raha mitia, no manome hery antsika handresy ny zava-tsarotra maro dia maro tokoa, ary samy mankalaza azy amin'ny fombantsika tsirairay avy isika sy amin'ny andro hafa koa. |
27 | Today I passed by La Casa restaurant to investigate and I was delighted to see the special offers for Valentine's Day: the tab of 25.00 CUC per person, includes welcome cocktail, appetizer of home-based salmon rolls stuffed with fruit and cream sour, croquettes, ceviche, fried taro, squid and shrimp with garlic and onions… | Androany, nitsofoka tao amin'ny hotely fisakafoanana La Casa aho mba hanao fanadihadiana ka mirana ery raha indro fa nahazo fanomezana manokana noho ny andron'ny mpifankatia: sakafo 25.00 CUC isan'olona, tafiditra amin'izany ny “sakafo maivana fiarahabana”, sakafo fanokafam-bavony trondro nosesehina voankazo sy herotra (crème), karepoka, ceviche, vomanga frity, orana sy krevety nasiana tongolo gasy sy tongolo be… |
28 | It is true that these prices are only within reach of a few, but I'm sure there will be other offers for less healthy pockets. | Marina fa vitsy ny olona mahatakatra ny vidin'izany sakafo izany, saingy inoako fa misy tolotra hafa ho an'ny tsy dia manam-bola koa ao. |
29 | The point of all this is that there is a possibility, and especially the right to choose. | Ny zava-dehibe amin'izany, dia misy ny safidy, ary indrindra ny zo hisafidy izay tiana. |
30 | Make a celebration where it suits you…most important, no doubt, is that you and your partner spend an afternoon or a night to remember and salute the representation of Saint Valentine of this wonderful feeling we all call love. | Manao fety araka izay mety aminao…ny lehibe indrindra, tsy misy isalasalana, dia ianao sy ny sakaizanao mandany ny andro atoandro na ny alina ho fahatsiarovana sy fankalazana ny fisian'ny andron'ny mpifankatia amin'izao fientanam-po mahafinaritra antsointsika rehetra hoe fitiavana izao. |
31 | Happy Valentine's Day! | Tratry ny Fetin'ny Mpifankatia! |
