| | Perhaps "because of me" would be better. |

| ![](../avatars/84171.img) piasTổng số bài gửi: 8113 | Thanks wkn,
that is what I tried to write first: "Are you sulky at me?", but since Lilian know how to put the English right, I changed. |

| | Good morning Pia
We have to define exactly what "sur" mean.
Those adjectives you mentioned have some differences in meaning. Could you explain in other words or in what situation the original in Danish would be used? So that I could find the exact one in English. |

... it's when you become dissatisfied or irritated at someone ](I think a swear is "pissed of", sorry!) when they have done something you didn't liked, you became surly at them.

| | Hej Pia. I think you can use : Are you crabby at me" or " Are you grouchy at me?" |
| | 3 Tháng 9 2008 14:41 |
| | What about "moody at me"? |
| | 3 Tháng 9 2008 14:48 |
| ![](../avatars/84171.img) piasTổng số bài gửi: 8113 | Yes, "grouchy" or "moody" seems to be right words ![](../images/emo/smile.png) What word is best here? |
| | 3 Tháng 9 2008 15:08 |
| | Hej again. ""moody at me" conveys the right meaning of "sur" too. |

| ![](../avatars/84171.img) piasTổng số bài gửi: 8113 | Ok ![](../images/emo/smile.png) I'll edit to Lilians word! |
| | 3 Tháng 9 2008 21:32 |
| | That´s funny, I would just have translated it to: Are you angry with me |
| | 3 Tháng 9 2008 21:31 |
| ![](../avatars/84171.img) piasTổng số bài gửi: 8113 | Ok, I thought that angry is a bit stronger word than mody. But since you are the Danish expert .. I trust you Anita.
Edit again? CC: lilian canale![](../images/wrench_orange.gif) |

| | "Are you mad at me?" or "Are you angry with me?" |
| | 3 Tháng 9 2008 22:52 |
| ![](../avatars/28658.img) wknTổng số bài gửi: 332 | For once I disagree with Anita. "Sur" is imho not angry which would be "vred" in Danish. "Sur" is how you feel towards someone who keeps annoying you but does no serious harm.
My wife, who teaches English here in Denmark, says that the best phrases to convey the feeling are
Are you mad at me
or
Are you cross with me. |
| | 3 Tháng 9 2008 23:06 |
| | well, let´s meet at "cross" then, shall we? :-) I think that´s a mighty fine solution. |
| | 3 Tháng 9 2008 23:11 |
| | Are you mad at me är korrekta översättningen |
| | 3 Tháng 9 2008 23:44 |
| | Well IMO "Are you cross with me?" is a bit lighter than "mad" or "angry". I think it may fit. |
