Sorry it has taken so long before this translation gets evaluated.
In this sentence, 'the' sounds a bit strange. Could it be that this sentence is to be interpreted more in a general sense? In that case, could it be translated as follows?
Language simply needs to state what you think
or
The purpose of language is simply to state what you think
or (sounds a bit more convoluted in English)
It is simply required of (a) language to state what you think
Please let me know what you think
Thanks! |

| | I don't think that 'to state' expresses the meaning of "bär fram'. |

| LeinNombro da afiŝoj: 3389 | What should it be, in your opinion? 'To express' maybe? |

| saipNombro da afiŝoj: 13 | In language it is simply required that it convey the meaning. |

| | A more conventional and maybe even more accurate translation to 'Att det bär fram det man menar' would be 'that it conveys the meaning'. |

| LeinNombro da afiŝoj: 3389 | Hi experts
The translator is very unresponsive
Do you agree with 'that it conveys the meaning'?
Thanks! CC: lenab Piagabriella |

| | I agree with sais and Kleppy. 'conveys' is the best word in my opinion.
And Pia (sais) is an expert too. CC: pias kleppi saip |
