| have eventually set --> have been eventually set? |

| And now about the strategic word: "annihilation"...
Maybe "looseness" would fit here more?
I mean here "a lack of control over the love and desires..." |
| 2009년 11월 6일 07:46 |
| "been" would change the meaning. To "set" means, among other things, to solidify, like e.g. volcanic lava. |

| Ok. I just asked, because wasn't sure. Thank you. |

| I mean here "a lack of control over the love and desires..."
Well, it seems that "annihilation" is totally wrong. I've not found a satisfactory replacement so far, temporary candidates being:
- lose control
- lose my mind
- lose my senses
Let's sleep with this problem, maybe tomorrow we'll solve it. |

| Hehehe I count rather on English expert's help here... I think she will know it better... |

| Let's see...if I got your posts right I'd suggest:
SMS-es ---> SMSes
set in poems ---> crystallized in poems
annihilation ---> emotional chaos?
What do you say? |
| 2009년 11월 7일 15:47 |
| disarray?? Hm...
emotional chaos? Hm...
I'm not sure...
But I like very much the rest of your suggestions, Lilly. |

| Is this possible that English has no any equivalent for Polish noun "zatrata", "zatracenie siÄ™"??
It means emotional state when people love so much that they become blind, chaotic, difficult to communicate, crazy, sometimes even irresponsible and unpredictable in their today actions... The are totally in love... |
| 2009년 11월 7일 16:02 |
| I found in my dictionary only a verb "zatracić" --> lose f.e. He seems to have lost all sens of time...
Here I mean that I was near to lose myself...
But here we need a noun from the verb... That is why I suggested "losseness" before...but probably it wasn't good one... |

| You are very close, Lilly, but this is not exactly the word yet...
being lost/sink/plunged in[to] love --> ....? |
| 2009년 11월 7일 16:34 |
| OMG!
self destruction?
desperation?
Kafetzou? Do you have any ideas? CC: kafetzou |
| 2009년 11월 7일 16:51 |
| O my God! hehe!
destruction is the closest word for now...
"rush for a destruction..." - it sounds quite good,
but it should be more with love connotation...
|
| 2009년 11월 7일 18:07 |
| infatuation?
love sickness?
obsession?
|
| 2009년 11월 7일 18:34 |
| Thank you Laura!
Yes, sth between... Probably English language has no the exact equivalent...
The one which I like the most from all the propositions and seems to be the most suitaible is "obsession"...
"Rush for an obsession" - is it correct? |
| 2009년 11월 7일 19:16 |
| Oh!
"self destruction" is also very good...
rush/rushing to self distruction - maybe even better... |

| can i just have one suggestion?
in Britian we never say SMS but we use a word "text" it means the same thing but is more common and understandable |
| 2009년 11월 8일 16:49 |
| Yes, indeed! When I was staying in England, they didn't use "SMS" at all... They said rather: "I'll send you a text" (or: text message)...only this way...
Thank you, Ania! |
