Is "dad who loves you" natural? what would you say this in English.

Discussion

Kelvin Wu Mar 12, 2005:
"Your loving father" does not imply that the father loves everyone else from my understanding. He is "loving" only in relation to the recipient of the letter. How could it mean anything else?
Non-ProZ.com Mar 12, 2005:
This can be the case if this letter is written by a notorious criminal to his son.
Non-ProZ.com Mar 12, 2005:
Yes, I agree with weiwei. "Your loving father" loves his child, and loves everyone else. This father might love his child, but hate everyone else.
Denyce Seow Mar 11, 2005:
"Your loving father" won a lot of agrees, but personally I think the meaning is slightly different. Think about it... ;)
Non-ProZ.com Mar 8, 2005:
Yes, "dad who loves you" sound too formal to me. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Selected

lots/full of love, dad

many alternatives, e.g. "lots/full of love, dad"


if just "love you" perhaps it may be for between lovers not the kind of "love" between father and son.

("dad who loves you" may sound a bit formal)

Don\'t know if it is used commonly in New Zealand, though.
