| 17.2.2 Specialty - the verb vouloir |
It might sound a bit strange to have the verb vouloir (to want) in imperativ form. Somebody else is ordering me or you or anybody to want something. Therefore, the translation used in the table was may xxx.
May you be happy until the end of the days.
It sounds quite outdated, but what is outdated in English is quite the standard polite form in French.
