Through the email she asked me whether I know the meaning of 'amen'. Of course I knew it, but it was through the email, if I were asked in our presence, I would answer it on the spot. She said she knew the meaning in a quiz ahow 'millionare' so instead of answering I tried asking her the meaning of it doubting the show showed a really reliable answer. She sent me the meaning in which it means 'it is so, we confirm '. Ummm...the answer was as I expected. A little bit short of the answer I was expecting.
Amen means 'it is so and may it be so.' 'May it be so' forms an important part. I am not supposed to reply to these questions, because she would consider me as too analytical person. This type of man is not what an ordinary woman feels fond of. I knew better than to reply to her quiz.
(For Japanese readers, amen was traditionally translated as 'shikari, shika arekashi' which means ' sore wa sou de ari, mata sou de atte hoshii'. Just for reference.)
Reading her reply email, I sent an email just writing 'Amen -smile'.
