Tercüme - Türkçe-İngilizce - küresel ısınma kapkaççılarında huyunu deÄŸiÅŸtirdi

How is that possible?

CC: kafetzou handyy

I didn't recognize the word "snatcher" by itself - maybe it's British? But the dictionary I use gives "purse snatcher" or "mugger" for this word. I don't know how it's possible, but that's what it says.

It is semantically OK, but "purse-snatcher" or "pickpocket" seem better, I think. And finally shouldn't there be the apostrophe after "snatcher" [snatchers' habits]??

Yes, I agree with handyy. The problem with that word is that English is very specific: purse snatchers steal purses, pick pockets take stuff out of people's pockets, and muggers is a more general term but also includes the concept of a bit of violence (and may be specific to North America - I'm not sure).

Maybe ceri can tell us what was meant here?

ceri, "kapkaççılar" denirken, hangi durumdan bahsediliyormuş acaba? Biliyor musun?

There is no violence (at least not in all cases), he [kapkaççı] just steals of money and valuables from one's pocket quietly and runs away immediately.

OK - then "pickpocket" would be the best translation. Thank you, handyy. I will edit and accept the translation.

Glad to be helpful
