Re: Pali Day by Day 3/24/2005 [D133]

Dear Yong Peng,

Thanks for the discussion. Just to note that using "I like to..." as
meaning "I wish to..." is not proper English. "like" means "wish" if
you put the word "would" or "should" (in the U.K., I think) in front
of it.

Already corrected by another member, but just a question: if it were
"seven", wouldn't sattaa be translated as "sevens"?

I am not sure, but I wonder if this really means "I shall go seven
days hence (i.e. seven days from now)."

Best wishes,
