English term or phrase: lover
Și o ultimă întrebare, ați traduce cu „iubit/ iubitul”? Mă gândeam să spun „Îndrăgostitul”...

"For what the lover gazing upon his beloved says and means is not: How good that you are so (so clever, useful, capable, skillful), but: It’s good that you are; how wonderful that you exist!" (Josef Piper, On Love II)

The true lover, Pieper argues, intuitively understands, even if not with precise logic, that an affirmation of the beloved’s goodness "would be pointless, were not some other force akin to creation involved—and, moreover, a force not merely preceding his own love but one that is still at work and that he himself, the loving person, participates in and helps along by loving" (On Love II).
