Hello, I have a teeny-tiny question!
My brother passed away a few years ago, therefor I want to place a tattoo on the back of my neck in sanskrit saying:

a miracle lost but a smile never to be forgotten


does anyone know how to write this accurately in sanskrit?
it would mean the world to me!
thank you

Hi, yresa!

I seem to have had some reasonably good success using the following site. Sanskrit Dictionary for Spoken Sanskrit I do wish that we had a designated expert here in translating words, names and phrases into Sanskrit. However, every once in awhile, there are a couple of people that show up who really know their stuff about translating written names, words and sentences from other languages into the written Sanskrit. Hopefully, someone like that will come along and notice your post.

You may have to try the site above in the different ways that are available and maybe also try some things that are suggested on it in order for you to be successful.

There is also another site that you could try. It would be the following one. Free Online Translations to Sanskrit, Hindi & Marathi for Tattoos, Names & Sentences

I think that the guy that runs it is the same one that comes around here, now and then, to answer very finely concerning questions like the one that you have.

It's my understanding, that there is also a way to contact people on either site to get help.

Since you're wanting this information for something that's going to be placed permanently on your body, then I would suggest that you get more than one person's opinion as far as a translation is concerned in order to be sure.

Thanks!

Hi Clough!

I will definitely post my question at that site as well! Thank you so much for you help!

You're welcome, yresa!
