Hi Tzicu,

What do you mean by: "Just that you should know if it is a big thing"?

Hello Lilly,

In Romanian it is odd, too. I translated it accordingly . Maybe instead of 'just' I could use 'only', but still, nothing much would changed, would it not?

"Numai să ştii dacă e mare lucru" should be translated by "Only to know if it is a big deal" not by "a big thing".

I'm sorry but I do not agree with "Only to know if it is a big...".... And,
to me 'big thing' and 'big deal' render the same message, especially in this informal source text. I have heard many English native speakers using 'big thing'

Tzicu, you still haven't explained what the line means... could you say that in different words so that I could figure out what the exact form would be?

Lilian, the person who writes those words says to the other person to call. To find out if a situation or something that happen is or isn't of great importance.

Tzicu-Sem, I'm pretty sure it is correct how I have formulated. Using "big thing" there is exactly as the subject is a big object. This is how I see it.

Lilian, am I mistaken? Is it not used in English the expression "big deal" when you suggest that something that happened is not so important or is unimpressive?

Could that part be: "just to tell me whether it's a big deal (or not)"?

Yes, indeed. That's the meaning. Thank you.

Let me try:

Someone is asking a person to call tomorrow just that this person should know that (something) is or is not of some importance.
'Bit thing' should not be taken here literraly.
i.e. It's not a big thing to run a company.
It has the same value as 'big deal'. I do not say that 'big deal' is bad, is rather good; but 'big thing' is alright, too.

Tzicu, if you agree...would you like to edit so that we can set a poll?

... the person who is supposed to call 'tomorrow' should know if (something) is important (or not).

Tzicu, if you insist in using know the line should read:
"just if you come to know whether it's a big deal (or not)"

About the choice of words, although both fit, I agree with iepurica that 'big deal' sounds better than 'big thing'

Thank you very much for the help Lilian, appreciate it.

Just to find out if it's any big deal.

"Numai sa stii daca e mare lucru" is better translated as "Just to know if it's a big deal"
