"Εύχονται για μία κόρη."

[AlidaMarcela1]

Can this aldo be translated as ''she'' wish for a daughter?

[mizinamo]

No; εύχονται has the plural ending -ονται.

He wishes / She wishes would be εύχεται.

[AlidaMarcela1]

Ohh..yess. OMG!! I missed it... İ will never forget it again. Ευχαριστώ πολύ! :) mizinamo

Can this also be "they are hoping"?

[KeithAndre18]

Or, "They hope for a daughter"? The same verb is translated as meaning "hope" elsewhere in this lesson.

[Dimitra956826]

It's not the same verb, and there is a slight difference in structure sometimes, but I guess it wouldn't hurt in this case.

Isn't 'They pray for a daughter' also correct?

[D_..]

Pray is more specific than 'wish for' in both languages though.

[nestareesH]

Thank you for your reply. I agree, but I thought that 'pray' was a legitimate translation of εύχομαι, and I had in mind childless parents who are likely to be more specific.
