Tercüme - Romence-İngilizce - De unde ai ÅŸtiut să răspunzi în portugheză?

Hi iepurica!

Does
applying your plan
mean
putting your plan into action
?

Yes, I guess I have translated (AGAIN) directly from Romanian. I should pay more attention. Thank you.

Hmm..I still don't understand the connection between
So you have started to put your plan into action
and
your brother will not get away without a good fight

Especially that second phrase is strange:
your brother will not ... without a good fight
would usually mean
he will not accept ...; he will try to stop ... or fight ...
but why would he not accept his own escape, why would he try to stop or fight his own escape?

"frate-miu" means "my brother"

This is the problem with the Romanian texts. They are not easy to translate, always full of irony, metaphoras or paradigms. "dar tot nu scapă frate-miu fără o bătaie bună" it's a funny way of "threatning" somebody. "a scăpa" means EXACTLY "to get away" and "fără o bătaie bună" means "without a good beating" or "without being well beaten", but than it would have been more confusing, so I preffered to use fight instead.

PS. Freya has a point there, it was "my brother", not "your brother".

Dacă îmi permiţi, Freya, am o mică precizare referitor la traducerea de faţă: nu poţi pune că sensul unui întreg text este greşit numai pentru o mică greşeală precum "tău" în loc de "meu". În astfel de cazuri, în general se postează un comentariu în josul paginii, cuvântul cu pricina nu schimbă intregul sens al frazei.

Bine. Scuze. De acum aşa o să fac. Nu ştiam exact cum se procedează. Nicio supărare, nu?

Thanks, iepurica!

Okay, I guess I have to change it to
without a good beating
because without a good fight means only
he tries hard to stop something
not
he gets beaten up!
I'll edit it!

Thanks, Ian. It seems that I don't know English as well as I believed.

Andreea, your English is great! Never doubt it!

It's just that, at a very high level, suddenly the nuances become so important...

If I tried to write Romanian, you would fall on the floor laughing!

Nu îţi face probleme Freya, nu m-am supărat absolut deloc. Niciodată nu mă supăr pe cei care sunt bine intenţionaţi şî chiar te rog să îmi atragi atenţia atunci când mai apar greşeli de genul celei de aici. Mulţumesc frumos.
