    I’ve been having a rough week; this was a nice dose of perspective. Heartwarming to see

    Wonderful. This makes me happy.

    Some things don’t translate well, though. “My beetroot”?

      I’m guessing the word in their language is a cutesy moniker, like pumpkin or peanut in English.

        Yeah. Sounds odd, though. Now I have a better understanding of translators who insist on being literal vs. translators who are willing to bend the rules slightly in order to clarify what the speaker meant.

      Pumpkin doesn’t make sense either, so I just assume it’s one of those cutesy nicknames. Either that, or maybe they just like Dwight Schrute. A lot.
