Hmm...I don't think you'd be able to find this adjectival phrase in a dictionary...?
It seems to me the meaning is something like:
"with the perfect amount of imperfections"
?

But I guess we should wait for an Administrator's judgement call about this?
Anyway, thanks, gamine lion!

I personaly couldn't find the meaning using http://iate.europa.eu/iatediff/switchLang.do?success=mainPage&lang=fr

I think this can be considered as some of these exceptions we do about single words one can't find in online dictionaries and let it be translated.

Thanks for your notifications, gamine and Ian!

Hello Ian Megill. OK, let it be this way. In French, could't one say : " parfaitement imparfait".

You're absolutely right, of course. I just thought that maybe Lithuanian might be far more distant from English than French is, and therefore might require a periphrastic translation (unlike in French, where the translation can be often be word-for-word, as you show above).
And maybe we can give more points to the Lithuanian speakers too, who might not have much "work" here on !

Hi Ian Megil. I do like your humour. Funny how one can "discover" people through words.
