Modismo: "Word of encouragement"

Question

For example, "I was so discouraged, I really needed that word of encouragment that the pastor delivered in his sermon"

What does that translate to?

Answer 1

I think this is funny, Heidita, since, my original question, "How does that work in Spanish?" is maybe what I should have said... but wouldn't have even thought it was unclear as a native English speaker... speaking of idioms... there's another one... It is not a personal interpretation, actually to an English speaker, it's very clear. But I understand your point.

Answer 2

How does this work means, "what does this translate to". It's a modismo also - pilipina

that's a very personal interpretation of the sentence

If you have a question, ask so that everybody can help you
