It's good that religion is not my field - this was a one-off, thanks for help

The child is the beautiful fruit of human begetting (author: Bubz)
Beata Claridge (asker) Oct 11, 2016:
to be honest I was counting on some discussion here as in reality bytowanie connotes having sex - the child is the outcome of two people co-living together (as man and wife; bytowanie, as mentioned in the bible, usually finishes with pregnancy - the fruit is the child); thanks for helping me to get out of this one without committing a sin of too literal translation :)) and please don't put my suggestion in the glossary

I blended Dariusz's answer into the glossary entry.
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Oct 5, 2016:
Indeed.
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Oct 5, 2016:
The two formulations are both correct, and the difference is in the degree of abstractness. I have never met a native speaker who could explain the article system. Notice that the French, the Germans, the Italians, the Spanish use the article system differently
Beata Claridge (asker) Oct 5, 2016:

ccccccccccccc
I meant THE.
THE is very important in the child. It is not "a child", as one of many, but "the child" as a representation of all the children.
Something went wrong...
