I want to do a Mother's Day craft with my 18 month old this coming week before she leaves me, I want it to say 'Happy Mother's Day' or 'I love my mummy' in Italian but don't know how to write this!

Can anyone translate for me please?

Thank you.

Thanks Sue.

I would look up on the net but I'm not confident that it would be correct and not say something nasty, some people are very weird! Ha ha!

amo il mio mummy this seems to be I love you Mummy though do they say Mummy in English??? giorno felice delle madri seems to be happy mothers day

I tried the free online translator site which I use cos my son is in Amsterdam and he tries to speak it!!! .

Thank you Sue, I did have a quick look on the net in the end but it said you have to be careful because they can give you weird, literary translations that actually make no sense in the native language if you see what I mean? It was lovely of you to have a look for me, thank you. x

That would be great if you could Ami? Thank you.

UPDATE:

My sister in law has just got back to me she says the phrase doesn't really exist but she translated it literally: buon giorno della mamma or felice giorno della mamma."
