"Mouthes can smile" otherwise "mund".
I'd say "the "the pain"
instead of "sadness" which , in Danish is "tristheden'.
But perhaps it's only a
synonyme. | | | 30 Apríl 2010 15:46 | | LeinTal av boðum: 3389 | I'm happy with all these suggestions.
Thanks Lene | | | 30 Apríl 2010 16:48 | | | The addition of a definite article is acceptable in this case, even if absent in the original. But "munde" is plural. Furthermore, sometimes the order of the words is crucial, not for the meaning, buit for the emphasis. A better translation would be: "but the pain in/of the heart, nobody notices" or something like that. | | | 30 Apríl 2010 17:30 | | piasTal av boðum: 8114 | "pain" instead of "sadness".
Others, fine in my opinion. | | | 30 Apríl 2010 17:38 | | LeinTal av boðum: 3389 | Lilian, please edit or reject as you see fit - off on holidays now | | | 1 Mai 2010 00:13 | | | "øjne" is plural too - singulat is "øje" so I don't think we should use the definite article. CC: jairhaas pias | | | 1 Mai 2010 00:48 | | | But in English, Lene, the article is correct | | | 1 Mai 2010 14:53 | | | | | | 1 Mai 2010 16:21 | | piasTal av boðum: 8114 | Lene, you "called" me, I'm not an English expert ... but I AGREE with you, it's not definite in the original!
I think this must be one of the trickiest things to learn about English grammar!! There are 'rules' for articles, right... but it seems there are also many exceptions, d'oh! | | | 2 Mai 2010 22:28 | | | |
