Ребята!
А есть ли в английском языке аналог нашего "С легким паром!"?
Или париться от души несвойственно англо-саксонской душе ? )))))

Enjoy your bath!
I'd put it this way - looks balanced to me.
Otherwsie, it it not that париться от души несвойственно англо-саксонской душе - too many different people (in terms of culture) speak English and use different words / facilities for париться :-))

: The key point is that "С легким паром !" is used *after* the bath, so we need the past form (enjoyed), whereas the imperative (enjoy) could be used only *before* the bath.

Have a nice steam!
Вы правы. В Америке парильщиков не много, но все же они есть. И они желают друг другу приятного пара. :-)

I would also appreciate to post the sinonyms for "������" in this KudoZ. Then I will grade someone with the longest list.
Thank you for your contributions anyway!
