| | Very humorous text! That really made me laugh... |

| handyyNombre de messages: 2118 | Hehe, I think so! |
| | 26 Juin 2009 19:50 |
| | However, maybe better will be "stand with him face to face". What do you think, handyy? (Lilly?) |
| | 26 Juin 2009 19:54 |
| | I've made some edits. Do you agree Handyy? |
| | 26 Juin 2009 19:56 |
| | Sorry, Lilly, but "stand up to him" has a quite different meaning for me |

| | Do you understand Turkish, Aneta?
I didn't know that. |

| | .....his eyes say: "I know karate".....>
and say those two (tree)words "I know karate".

| | Yes, a little. But I was only wondering what handyy wanted to say by "facing him"... Sorry, maybe it wasn't necessary. Forgive me, please. |
| | 26 Juin 2009 21:39 |
| | to face up to sth/sb = to stand up to sb
It means "to confront, to deal with (something unpleasant) head on." |

| | 26 Juin 2009 22:01 |
| | And wouldn't it be better to translate this " ÅŸu iki kelimeyi" too? -->
"...and staring into his eyes say these three words: "I know karate"."
What do you think, Handyy? |
| | 26 Juin 2009 22:06 |
| | In Turkish is "and say these two word" but in English they are really three, so I agree, Sunnybebek. |

| | If you think that part is important, we don't have to "specify" the number of words, we can simply say:
...say these few words |
| | 26 Juin 2009 22:38 |
| | Yes of course. It would be even better, Lilly. Good idea! |

| handyyNombre de messages: 2118 | Hi to all
Lily, you changed the part "stand facing him" as "stand up to him", but this phrase doesn't convey the correct meaning. (Maybe, "stand in front of him" ).
Btw, I didn't translate the part "say two/these three words", because I thought when we say "word", we may think of three single or separate words. But "I know karate" is a whole sentence.
Or am I wrong? What do you think, Lilian? |
| | 27 Juin 2009 13:20 |
| | "stand in front of him" would be fine, then
About "words"...it may refer to a short sentence, no problem.
I'll edit that part and accept, OK? |

"ÅŸu iki kelimeyi" = these two words("three" in English) |
