| Dag Astrid,
'Campaigning' betekent 'actievoeren'
En verder... betere suggesties?

LeinNumero di messaggi: 3389 | I'd rather say 'it is right' instead of 'it is just'. 'Just' is not wrong, but it can have different meanings. When someone starts a sentence with 'it is just...' he often means 'it is only', 'I just mean to tell you'.
Again, the translation is not wrong, but it can be interpreted the wrong way. |

| Ihsa,
'Justly' is grammatically a wrong use of -ly.
The order of the sentence is exactly as it should be.

| It's a possibility, although it actually means: 'het is gerechtvaardigd'
Might this not also be interpreted as if they have been given 'permission' to... ?
This should not be the case. |

| Maybe a bit late, but ... I agree with Lein, "just" sounds a bit wrong to me. |

| It is correct that the police force are demonstrating |
| 18 Agosto 2008 10:52 |
| As I understand the word 'correct':
a word that means there is only one right answer and the rest is wrong...
That is certainly not the meaning of the Dutch 'terecht'. It has to do with a personal opinion of somebody.
'Demonstrating'? Are they?
'Police force' seems like a very good adjustment!

| volgens mij moet het woordje just worden veranderd in justified |
| 8 Settembre 2008 11:20 |
| This has already been mentioned before in this discussion...
Justified actually means: 'het is gerechtvaardigd'.
This means they have been 'given permission'. (By whom?)
This is not the case here.

| Hi jollyo,
This translation seems to be waiting for a long time now. It's time to decide what to do with it.
I'd like to ask you about that "just" which seems to be the key here.
Do you mean that "it's fair"? "it's suitable"? or simply "Thanks God the police are campaigning"? |
| 14 Settembre 2008 21:19 |
| It is 'legitimate', the writer actually feels sympathy and choses the side of the police.
Does this help you any further?
|
| 14 Settembre 2008 22:13 |
| I've made some research on the word "terecht" and the result is:
"It is justifiable that the police are campaigning"
or
"It is with reason, that the police are campaigning"
What do you think? |

C.K.Numero di messaggi: 173 | Well, "terecht" = also: deservedly, rightfully, appropriately.
Now, how to make the syntax, is the riddle
|
| 15 Settembre 2008 21:37 |
| The point in all these word suggestions lies in this question:
who says so?
The 'who' is this case only gives his/her opinion on a certain matter.
Therefore I would chose: justifiable
I think it comes closest.

| The police is campaigning because the police is singular not plural, like the mankind, the crowd etc. it is a singular word that can include many. |
