You always try to support/ comfort Lene!!
THANKS

Ok, ladies...have you reached an agreement about the most suitable bridge for this line?
Or...do you think we should post Rule #7?

Never mind present or past, the translation could be If only/Let's hope/Lets pray/Let's wish - the guards didn't hear them.
"Hörde" is past tense OR subjunctive after a wish.(jfr. Bara du inte VORE så arg...)
But in English it has to be :"didn't hear them"

agree with Lena.

Fine with me too!

Lena, glad you finally agreed about "hörde" (past tense or sbjv.) Anyway, I prefer to see it as past tense, don't think it's common to use subjunctive mood in "everyday language" nowadays.

Oh well..it means that the suggestion on my first post (29 October 2010 12:01 ) was fine after all!


Thanks girls. I'll post the bridge under the request

Ah... yes, I should have listened to you Lilian!! Stuupid me

Sorry for the trouble

Don't worry. I guess we all enjoy a healthy discussion in a thread.

You're the best,as usual.

<Bridge by Pias, Lenab, etc>
Who is etc?

We have a proverb here "ju fler kockar, desto sämre soppa..."

Oh...I think that is a universal proverb since you can find those "meddlesome" creatures (like me or Lene) everywhere!!!

Lene/ Lilian, never meant ANYONE was meddlesome. My last post must have sounded rude I take it back!!!! There is probably a better Proverb in this case..."Ju fler kockar desto BÄTTRE soppa"

Come on, Pia! Being meddlesome on Cucumis is a good thing. It means we all try to help each other even if sometimes we write nonsense

Yes... I know what you mean Lilian & I like that discription! That's what makes Cucumis so special. So I take back what I first took back. :P

hej Pia. Lilian is right. It was a very nice discussion and that's the reason for which we always come back.

I also liked watching the thread, if you don't mind me being meddlesome!

I just checked that word (meddlesome), never did yesterday... I thought it meant about the same as our "medelmåtta" (meaning: to be someone not very special, just a ordinary person... it can be in in sport e.g.) But according to the Free Dictionary it's: "an interfering old woman" - that could be me too!!

A meddlesome person is someone inclined to meddle or interfere, to intrude into other people's affairs or business without having been asked to.

It doesn't have to be an old woman even if those are more likely to become one.

Haha! I am an ideal example given the definition by Lilian ! Am I not? But I am not so old indeed! Fortunately!
