This is a very useful collection of phrases.
I believe the English translation of the first sentence is not completely correct:
The Arabic word صَبُوح has the meaning of “beautiful”, “graceful”, or “radiant”.
And the Arabic word دائِمًا for “always” is missing.
Ahlan Josef,
Yes, it means radiant and graceful. It also means one that always smiles. At least, this is what I intended in that sentence. My translation relates to the meaning that I intended. I will add your suggestion as well to the translation.
