| | Hi smy:
would you explain in other words what you mean by "transfer business"?
I'm not questioning your translation, it's just that I can't find a similar to Portuguese.
Thanks.
Lilly.

| smyAnzahl der Beiträge: 2481 | maybe I should say "work/process" or only"transfer" , it's about the "transfer of football players" |

| | Thanks sweetie.
I think now I get what you mean.

dramati, in your opinion, does "transfer business" convey the correct meaning? CC: dramati |
| | 24 Februar 2008 07:35 |
| | It can be used in English. The meaning can be the noun for a transfer of business used in American Business English. |

| smyAnzahl der Beiträge: 2481 | Yes it was for the transfer of football players, thank you dramati! |

| | Exactly. In the US players are viewed more as business property and not as people. We actually say so and so was SOLD to such and such a team. Strange quirk in our way of looking at things. |

| smyAnzahl der Beiträge: 2481 | SOLD. That's really harsh , we say "transferred" (not "SOLD" ) |

| | Well...in Portuguese we also use the verb "vender" (sell) for soccer players.
The teams "sell" the "passes" it means they negotiate the value (sometimes pathetically high) of the "talent" of a player.
Brazilian teams have sold too many players lately. Some of them to Turkey. |
