Because that is not the correct translation. That's what wrong with it.
Joy is not good fortune. |

I suppose that you could translate dicha as joy, but as so often happens in English, just because something is grammatically correct it does not mean it is actually used. In the above context, nobody would say joy, surely. Last edited by Perikles; March 09, 2012 at 04:46 AM. |
