Hello Shiny
I want to tell you something. We really don't know the context in which the text appeared that's why we don't come up with liberal translations. Though, it really doesn't make sense to be litteral with our translation. In fact, it's a bit of this and that!
and let's take this text as an example.
A litterl translation would be:
لكوني لطيÙØ©/هشة Ùقدت Øياتي
It really sound coming from an arabic native speaker, I agree. Plus we didn't have a clue whether a female or a male said that.
A liberal, bit of litteral trnslation to avoid unclarity and misunderstand would be:
لأجل لطÙÙŠ/هشاشتي Ùقدت Øياتي
That's an acceptable one, don't u think? tell me if you have alternatives.
We didn't ignore any word:
1. for =لأجل
2. being = عالجناها بأن نسبنااللط٠للمتØدث
3. I've lost my life = well, that was the easy part wasn't it?
and we avoided the female/male thing.
