Can I have a bridge here, please?

Hi Aneta

I don't know how to say it correct in English but here is a word by word translation:

Der er ingen fremtid i - at bruge nutiden - til at tænke over fortiden.

There is no future in - using today - to think about the past.

Or "
There is no future in - using THE PRESENT - to think about the past"

Do you agree, Ernst. I think this is better.

Thank you, dear friends!

But, I don't know if I understood it properly. Does it mean:

"There is no future if you use the present thinking about the past"?

Yes it's the meaning but in Danish there is not the conditional sentence "If you use".

I'd say: ""There is no future using the present thinking/to think about the past"?"

Ernst.????

You are right Lene, but I also believe what Aneta wrote is acceptabel...

Well, Ernst. What Aneta proposes gives the meaning too, so let's accet it.
I think it's nice to discuss all together about it.

The best way to find the best bridge.
