Kisses, pats, and hugs. Explanation: This is merely a literal translation, I don't know if there's any English counterpart at all. The phrase pertains to a kid's game, of which I don't know much more than this phrase as it's name. Reference: http://barnemix.com/Leker/kyss.htm |

5 hrs confidence:
Hugs and Kisses Explanation: I think it's a question of idiom and usage. Evidently, the term "Kyss, klapp og klem" is meant to be quite familiar. In an English letter, when we're wanting to be famaliar, we tend to say "Hugs and Kisses". So I think that would be the best way to render it here, though you do lose the nice alliteration of the Norwegian phrase. |
