Hi Jair

'I don't want' seems incomplete - any idea what it is the writer doesn't want?

- I don't want it (leaves it vague)
- I don't want her
- I don't want to go out
- something else?

Thanks!

Hi Lein,

there is no way of knowing that. The sentence is incomplete, and we must therefore translate it as that, otherwise we would be engaging in guesswork. Maybe the writer trusts his intended reader to decipher his intention

OK, fair enough. Could you explain in the comments also, which sentence in English corresponds to the one in Hebrew that is open to different interpretations? (And, if needed, what interpretations they are?)
Thanks!

The sentence I translated as "I feel best at home" - literally it says: "I have the best at home",which could be interpreted in a thousand ways. The whole text is written by someone not meticulous in expressing himself clearly.

No votes...
Milkman, could you help me evaluate this translation please?
Thanks!

I would change to "I don't want this" which is general enough, and then vote 'YES'

Thanks!
Done.
