40 days I'd like to tell you about the interesting thing happened in our family. I have niece, she lives in Geneva, Switzerland. She is Kazakh and Her husband is Italian. Recently she gave birth to wonderful girl. December, 5, the baby has got 40 days. By our traditions it is a big deal. All adult women - grandmothers, aunts, etc. gather together and do the ancient ceremony -" take away the baby from 40 days". This ceremony includes washing baby in a silver water, taking off nails and hair, talking the best wishes to the baby same time. And after ceremony whole family have dinner together. As the baby in Geneva, 10 members of family went to Switzerland - granny, great grandmother, 2 aunts, etc. They have made Kazakh ceremony in Italian home in Switzerland! I think it is the best evidence that when we love each other, it is doesn't matter where we are from, what language do we talk, what color of skin we have. The main thing in the world is Love! (I know a lot of the same examples. Why people still carry war on?)

Hi Sunny!

Here is little correction. You are doing great with your English. When you write your article, read it to yourself. If some sentence is difficult to say, maybe needs some correction. Because English must flow like the river. Does it make sense?

I'd like to tell you about one interesting thing happened in our family. I have a niece, she lives in Geneva, Switzerland. She is Kazakh and her husband is Italian. Recently she gave birth to wonderful girl. Baby-girl was born December 5th, and now is 40 days old. According our traditions it is a big deal. All women - grandmothers, aunts, etc. gather together and do the ancient ceremony -" take away the baby from 40 days". This ceremony includes washing baby in the silver water, cutting nails and hair, also wishing the best to the baby. And after this ceremony all family have a nice dinner together.
Because of the baby in Geneva, 10 members of our family went to Switzerland - granny, great grandmother, 2 aunts, etc. They did this Kazakh ceremony in Italian home in Switzerland!

Hi Sunny,

I've  tried to correct your entry but I didn't understand few things.

"taking off nails and hair"  do you mean just cut little bits from baby's nails and hair? Because "taking off nails and hair" means take off whole nails and all hair.

-" take away the baby from 40 days". take away means "remove" in English. Your Kazakh ancient ceremony has some special meaning. Can I ask you what is that meaning? We'll be able to write your entry with correct meaning in English. I think these ancient traditions are very important to keep and let people from around the world know about them.

Regards

Eva
