pelabur yang hanya pandai berteori; pelabur tanpa pengalaman langsung Explanation: - figuratively "armchair _ _ _" describes someone who theorizes without the benefit of practical experience, i.e. participating vicariously. - this phrase should not be translated literally. there may be a figurative equivalent in Malay but I can't think of any. |

Here is what I found in that glossary: 1. armchair critic ----> pengkritik kerusi empuk 2. armchair theory ----> teori kerusi empuk. So, my suggestion was based on the same pattern of translation. |
