Vertaling - Duits-Engels - Im feinen Restaurant.

Hi hungi,

I changed "men" into "people",
"fine restaurant" into "a refined restaurant"
and capitalized the pronoun "I".

I think 'feinen' is better translated when the word 'fancy' is used.

"fancy" sounds fine too.

"In a fine restaurant" sounds much better and is much more common than "In a refined restaurant". It is also a more accurate translation of "Im feinen Restaurant". Additionally, when one mentions a fine restaurant, it is implied that it is somewhat, if not very, fancy.
I don't think it should have been changed.

mais = but!

I also think "people" is a good translation. And I believe "fine" is the better choice if not "classy". What do you think?
Minny :-)

the word people isn't right, and fine is much better than refined for this kind of text.

Considering the meaning of the poem I find "people" correct. It could also read "guests" or "they". Why, Lila, do you think that people in not right?
If nothing speaks against it, I would prefer "people" or "they".

I agree with Minny. "they" would be a good choice.
