Translated by  gamine | Target language: English
I met him in the Troika, the famous Russian restaurant in the West End where I used to have lunch. He was sitting at a table alone, looking melancholy. When I sat down in front of him, a waitress came and took his empty cup. "Maybe something more?" she asked. The man hesitated and replied: "I..I think I'd like a glass of water". |

25 March 2009 13:39 | | | Hello Casper; If I translate the way you say it would give: "Han verkade vare melankolisk" in Swedish.
Pia, can you help us please.   CC: casper tavernello pias | | |
25 March 2009 13:42 | | | Well, Pia has voted for "right", so I withdraw my first post.  | | |
25 March 2009 13:47 | | | Thanks Casper. Well don't be sad, usually it's I who's wrong. | | |
25 March 2009 13:49 | | | Perhaps it should simply be:
"He was sitting at a table alone, looking melancholy." CC: pias | | |

piasจำนวนข้อความ: 8113 | I'm not always right Casper, and I was to fast too give a positive vote here! Sorry ...
Yes "såg melankolisk ut" reffer to the way he looks. Lilians suggest looks fine to me. | | |
25 March 2009 14:32 | | | Lilian's suggestion looks fine to me too. CC: pias | | |

piasจำนวนข้อความ: 8113 |  It's not hard to understand why you missunderstood it Lene, because if it had been a little "t" at the end "sÃ¥g melankolisk t ut", (e.g. genom fönstret), your translation would have been correct. | | |
25 March 2009 15:47 | | | Thank you all.
Issue solved, job accepted, everybody happy!  | | |

25 March 2009 17:37 | | | I was going to post something regarding the same propposal given by Pia about the "...melankoliskt..." (an adverb.), but I would say " tittade melankolisk t ut...". | | |
25 March 2009 18:05 | | | Thanks for your help Casper. Everything I learn is precious for me.  | | |

piasจำนวนข้อความ: 8113 | How come Casper isn't a Swedish expert yet.
"såg" and "tittade" are synonyms, so I think you can use them both here. |
