These are default phrasebook renderings. Explanations describe the intent; equivalents are adapted lines, not necessarily literal translations. Check any gendered wording before sending.
Make the moment yours.
After a date, pair your goodnight with one thing you enjoyed. That is more personal than a line pasted on its own.
For a partner, add a small reference only the two of you would understand.
A goodnight can simply be a goodnight. It does not need a question that restarts the whole conversation.
Before you hit send
Can I hear these phrases?
Use the audio controls where a recording is available. Some phrases also include a read-along pronunciation guide. Audio needs a connection and may occasionally be unavailable.
Are these literal translations?
Not necessarily. The explanation describes the intent. An equivalent is the corresponding line from the SideTalk phrasebook, adapted to its language rather than translated word for word.
Are these previews free?
You can read, copy and try the available audio here without subscribing. The app has a free entry experience; the complete phrase library and additional Coach access are part of SideTalk Pro.
