Title
I don’t know how to say all those words
Translation
English

Translated by silkworm16
Target language: English

I don’t know how to say all those words I‘ve had in me for seven months with just one letter. Taking this decision is virtual suicide for me, but again and again I have tried to explain to you the reasons forcing me to do that. I don’t know why; either I could not be understood or you did not want to understand or I could not explain…

Hi silkworm

"I have tried to explain you the conditions forcing me to do this"

I think that should read:

I have tried to explain to you, the conditions that forced me to do this.

But...what does "this" mean? Writing now or what happened seven months ago? In that case it should be "that" instead.

Maybe "conditions" should be "reasons" if that doesn't change the original meaning.

What do you think?

Hi Lilian canale
Thanks for your advice.
well... maybe you are right. Writing "that" instead of "this" is perhaps more proper but I wrote "this" because I'd thought it gave the equal meaning as "that" regardless of the time in which the decision was taken.

As for "the conditions", they of course refer to some kind of reasons so writing "reasons" is perhaps another alternative,which does not change the meaning in my opinion at all

Good!

So...would you edit " ...I have tried to explain you the conditions forcing me to do this."
to:
...I have tried to explain to you the reasons that forced me to do that. and we can set a poll?

I edited it and now it seems ok

but either " the reasons forcing" or " the reasons that forced"... they are the same as far as I know.
