It sais "happy celebrations (referring to eid) I hope that every year will be a celebration for you" It's the best I can do, its kind of hard changing it into proper english :D

unfortunately people use Latin font not well . it is better to use arabic font if we don't have Kurdish latin font !

i know what you mean in my dictionaries same words are spelled differently, so confusing when trying to learn the language. My bf uses the arabic font, thats why i couldnt ask him what the text meant :)

dear lina, even if your bf is sorani and uses oruginally sorani fonts - he also can very easy understand sorani language written in latin script - trust me, all kurdish people can use both writing systems for their native language - thats one of the many amazing things about Kurds - just ask your bf, he can write sorani in both way :D
