If so, I think it should be : "Take it or leave it" | | | 12 Août 2008 23:40 | | C.K.Nombre de messages: 173 | If I would translate it, I would of said: "It's a matter of give and take" or "It's a compromising"
C.K. | | | 13 Août 2008 10:27 | | LeinNombre de messages: 3389 | Lilian, no, the expression doesn't mean 'take it or leave it', rather ' both sides will have to compromise a bit'.
I would choose C.K.'s suggestion: It's a matter of give and take'. | | | 13 Août 2008 16:52 | | | Oh OK, that was just an idea that crossed my mind.
So it would sound better:
"It's a matter of giving and taking"
or
"It's about giving and taking"
What do you all think?
