"to be reasonable" instead of "sensible" which gives "følsom" in Danish.

I think "it's not of any use" is better than "it doesn't matter"

Lene, I don't agree, since sensible/reasonable has the same meaning here.

sgrowl, I like your suggestion!

It seems to me that we have to translate more freely, like for instance: " It is okay to use your head as long as you don't forget your heart" Something along this line. What do you think?

I'm sorry, guys, but I don't understand the meaning of this aphorism.
Minny, could you explain that in different words?

This is not an easy one to translate. I try to explain the meaning:
It is OK to use your intellect as long as you also include your emotions.
Or: It is okay to use your brains but don't forget your heart (emotions).
Or: Use your brains and your heart (Intellect is not enough)
I hope it make sense to you. :-)

La phrase n'est pas du tout la même qu'en français, mais honnêtement, j'ai plutôt l'impression que c'est la phrase française qui est mal traduite. Peut-être qu'il faudrait quelqu'un qui parle danois pour évaluer ?

Anita explained it here as well. I guess my translation is too literal.

Anita's version (It's ok to be sensible/rational as long as your heart is in it too.) sounds fine. Would you like to accept that suggestion, Pia?

Hello typy. You can be sure of one thing. The French translation is ok. I made it myself and I'm not the only one who thinks that the Danish word" "fornuftig" should be translated as "reasonable". Reasonable meant as "rational". The Danish expert,
Bamsa translates it as "reasonable" and not 'sensible' and so does Anita. She says "rational".
It's very difficult here to catch the slight difference between 'sensible' and 'reasonable'.
Maybe both are possible but the French one is fine.
Thanks for your input.

Lilian, sounds good to me, if Minny/ Anita agree too.

typy, sorry... I don't understand French.

Lene, I beliiieve you -about 'reasonable'. I hereby withdraw my statement that they (sensible/reasonable) have exactly the same meaning in this context! You are a native Dane, I'm not… as said before.

Wikipedia has an article about 'reason’ and according to that: -the adjective of "reason" in philosophical contexts is normally "rational", rather than "reasoned" or "reasonable". - So, I go for Anita's suggestion. (Rational)

OK, I've made a couple of changes in punctuation and accepted it.

Thanks everyone.
