Uppruna mál: Franskt

Soudain, il se pencha et me demanda poliment de lui prÃªter un objet sur lequel, au moment de le nommer, il buta sans parvenir Ã le prononcer.

je compris aussitÃ´t la phrase dont l'obscuritÃ© se dissipa.

Me souvenant de ma rencontre, je me mis Ã rÃ©flÃ©chir

L'Ã©tendue de ma pensÃ©e dÃ©pendait-elle donc de mon vocabulaire et, s'il en Ã©tait ainsi, Ã©taient-ce donc les mots qui contenaient l'esprit ?

Heiti	Words of wit
Umseting Enskt Umsett av sagittarius	Ynskt mál: Enskt Suddenly, he leaned and politely asked me to lend him an object which, at the moment of naming it, he fumbled for the right word. I understood at once the phrase the obscurity of which had dissipated. Remembering my encounter, I began to reflect. Did the extent of my thought depend on my vocabulary and if so, were these words the ones that contained a wit?

	lilian canale Tal av boðum: 14972	Hi sagittarious, I'd translate that: "il buta sans parvenir Ã le prononcer" as: "he got mixed up pronouncing it" Also there are too many commas in the last sentence and an extra "thus". I think it should read: "Did the extent of my thought depend on my vocabulary and if so, were these words the ones that contained a wit?"

	sagittarius Tal av boðum: 118	Hi again, lilian! How about this version instead of "he got mixed up pronouncing it": "...an object which, at the moment of naming it, he fumbled for words with." It's more clear, isn't it? The last sentence "Did the extent of my thought depend on my vocabulary and if so, were these words the ones that contained a wit?" is OK now. Thank you!

	irini Tal av boðum: 849	My French is not good enough for me to evaluate this one, but are we sure "l'esprit" refers to "wit"? I somehow get the feeling that the author is wondering whether, since his thoughts depended on the words he knew, the words themselves sort of contained his mind, his intellect, his thoughts so to speak.
