Scuse me for a silly question but I don't have a Japanese dictionary
(will buy one when I have the cash)

Could someone please give me possible translations of the following
words into Japanese (if possible cantonese and Mandarin too) It's for
a fic idea I had...

Angel....(I'm figuring some sort of Kami most likely...ideas
appreciated)

You could always use what they did in Evangelion... :)
(What was it, shito?)

Angel:

angel: Tenshi (most common), tennotsukai, enzeru (written in katakana,
from the romaji)

guardian angel: Shugotenshi

For the record, "tenshi" can also mean "Emperor" and "Forces of Nature."
