    It is hard translating Sanskrit. I have been looking for a translate Sanskrit site for a few years. I had one that was fairly decent but haven't been able to find it again.

    @viral. I wasn't offering to translate for you, just correcting your grammar, but from your second post, you should watch your spelling as well, or any tattoo you get is going to look rather silly.

    Proper english spelling and grammar when asking for translation to another language is always critical.

    My Indian friends tell me translating into Sanskrit is tricky. And Internet translators just don't work. You need to find someone who actually knows the language, like a college teacher or someone from India. Instead of "I love Mom" you might end up with something else.

    And the correct English would be "My beloved is mine and I am hers." (no apostrophe).

    Are you sure. Hers is possessive.

    Reconsidering. Let me check this. Be back soon.

    ***BACK AGAIN*** No apostrophe.

    In the same way, it would not be "He is mine, and I am hi's."

    'His' is already possessive, grammatically. I know you know your grammar, but I think the queen's english would apostrophize 'her' (her's) to make it possessive. Anyway, it would not be hi's, but 'his' '

    This is only one grammar website that explains possessive pronouns ---

    You are correct WG, the possessive pronoun is HER no appos trophy. I checked with God.
