	handyy Number of messages: 2118	Hi, --> blotted = stained --> linden = basswood --------- "Ihlamurlar can aÄŸladi", here it exactly says, "Lindens wept souls(rather than tears)", so I had some doubts while translating it.

	kfeto Number of messages: 953	hello handyy, lilian nice translation. Instead of just 'blotted' maybe "tarnished/soiled/stained/blotted with sin"?

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	My suggestions: was blotted --> has been tainted split --> separation The tree is called "linden" in English - there's one right in front of my house, but I agree with Lilian that it sounds more poetic if we use a more literal translation: "The lindens grieved from their souls".

	handyy Number of messages: 2118	no problem! but I just want to learn why "blotted" is not correct. I sincerely want to learn, doesn't "to blot" have the same meaning with "to taint" (--> to corrupt morally)??

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	Nowadays, "to blot" usually means to soak up liquid, as in "I blotted the floor with a paper towel". I've never heard it with the same meaning as "to taint", but maybe in Britain or in an old-fashioned context. Also, the noun "blot" seems to have that moral meaning more often: "There's a blot on his character." But "to taint" is much better here because it's totally unambiguous - every English speaker would understand that it means "morally stained".
