peer agreement (net): +2Heights for getting in and out of bed Language variant: UK Explanation: Heights for getting in and out of bed I would rephrase this. It is not a fixed expression in Danish, so although Kari's suggestion is fine, I would simply put it differently in English. With the mattresses, the beds are often (in many cases) too high for getting in and out easily. This avoids 'heights ... are too high', which is the next trap! The / is not popular in flowing English either, although Danes use it regularly. It always strikes me as ambiguous, which is of course deliberate at times. You can assume here that what is meant is a bed with a mattress. Just my two cents :-) |
