This text is a bit weird, isn't it?
I think handyy may evaluate it better
Please? CC: handyy | | | 14 July 2009 12:07 | | lenabNumber of messages: 1084 | Yes! It sounds weird! Hope Handyy can explain it!!
(on the other hand, when you are thirsty there's nothing better than a sip of water ) | | | 14 July 2009 12:13 | | | That's true! But would you say it's "beautiful"? | | | 14 July 2009 16:13 | | handyyNumber of messages: 2118 | Hi girls,
Lenab, "bir içim su" is an idiom, but as you translated it word by word, it doesn't make sense here.
It means "Strikingly attractive, beautiful or impressive person". We can translate the first line as "You're absolutely eyeful" (or we could use an other adjective like "eyeful" )
Second line is OK.
Third line seems OK, but this would read better: "Flowers pale beside you" (="Flowers appear to be unimportant comparing with you/with your beauty" )
And the last line.. --> "I mean/It means you're very beautiful"
To sum up:
"You're absolutely eyeful
You are very beautiful
Flowers pale beside you
I mean/It means you're very beautiful" | | | 14 July 2009 16:30 | | | Oh, now it makes sense!
But could we use "eye-catching" or "astonishing" instead? And to avoid repeating "beautiful", what about one of them becoming "gorgeous"?
You're absolutely eye-catching
You are very beautiful
Flowers pale beside you
I mean you're gorgeous. | | | 14 July 2009 16:41 | | handyyNumber of messages: 2118 | I think it's perfect now! | | | 14 July 2009 17:38 | | | Lenab? If you also like it, please edit, OK? | | | 14 July 2009 18:06 | | lenabNumber of messages: 1084 | I sure do!!!
I didn't know about the idiom. Thanks! |
