Re: Translation exercise with fries?

The most straightforwad translation into Tairezazh would be:

Ta tshei sens!

"I love it!"

More fitting, however, might be this:

As ta neir!

"This I like!"

In Meghean, it's boringly simple:

Senecebheth!

"I am loving it!"

In Kalini Sapak you could say:

Mu muzatu sa!

"I love it!"

But, unfortunately, this a) indicates the speaker to be male, and while this
would not bother the typical Kalntahak, it might be annoying to McD's PC patrol,
and b) would, sans context, most like be interpreted as "I love _her_!", Kalini
Sapak not distinguishing gender of pronominal subjects. Probably a passive
construction would be in order, but I've not come around to work out such out yet.
