Umseting - Enskt-Turkiskt - stranger lovers

Hi again kafetzou!

You have already explained be the meaning of to me meant to . You told me that it is equal to the verb to be supposed to which means some kind of necessity. But I guess here, to be meant to means something related to destiny. Am I right?

I wonder if we can say:

-Bazı insanlar birbirlerine aşık olmak için yaratılmışlardır, birlikte olmak için değil.

Or should I keep ahriman's translation even if I think that the verb zorunda olmak is not suitable here?

Thanks in advance

Yes - you're right, but I think your translation is too strong. Would it work to just say "olmalı/olmamalı" here?

P.S. I agree that ahriman's translation is not correct.

Bazı insanların kaderi birbirine aşık olmak ama beraber olamamaktır.

Oh, thanks. Your suggestion is quite good. But I think we'd better change it like this to accent more the meaning:

-Bazı insanların kaderi birbirine aşık olmaktır, beraber olmak değil.

Do you agree?

Yes.

Thanks a loott again What would I do without you ! Have a nice evening
