OVER THE MOON

[NEAL FELLMAN]

CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE PROPER WAY TO SAY "OVER THE MOON" IN FRENCH?

THANKS.

The expression "to be over the moon" can be translated as "être aux anges".
So "over the moon" is "aux anges".

[NEAL FELLMAN]

what would "ouvre la lune" translate to be?

[NEAL FELLMAN]

what would "ouvre la lune" translate to?

Yeah, "aux anges", "au paradis" or "au septième ciel".

"Ouvre la lune" would mean "open the moon", and it doesn't make any sense.

[NEAL FELLMAN]

"au septime ciel" has a nice sound to it...I am wanting to christen my new boat "over the moon" but in French...
so "aux anges" does not have the sound to it that I am seeking...but "au septieme ciel" will work. Thanks for your help.

That would be a pretty nice name for a boat!
