Prevod - It takes one to know one. (Engleski)

Hi Pia - sorry - I got mixed up.

Did anybody see my suggestion above at 8 July 2008 17:43?

lenab, my whole point here is that an English-speaking person would NOT understand the translation as it now stands - it would need further explanation. I actually think what you just wrote (I don't remember seeing that when you first did the translation) would actually be more easily understood.

Yes, I guess that one has the same meaning. I'll go for that one!

Which one, lenab? "It takes one to know one" or "One judges others by oneself"?

It takes one to know one, because the meaning of that phrase is what it's all about.

OK - I've re-set the voting now - let's see what happens.

OK

Take a look, ladies.
Det finns en viktig sanning som man skall lära sig i livet. Den gör sig bäst på engelska :: It takes one to know one. På svenska blir det ungefär ::: som man känner sig själv känner man andra.

Here goes my poor translation:
There's an important statement (lit.: truth) that one should know in life. It's better in English: It takes one to know one.
In Swedish, it's something like this: som man känner sig själv känner man andra

Tack Casper!! Då kom vi rätt till slut?

As one knows it, one knows others.

oneself = it???

Thanks for the translation lenab

...and to all others as well, that helped to get it right.
