English term or phrase: Cause of war (Casus belli)
The unstated casus belli, motivul ramas nespus al neintelegerilor lor, cam acesta ar fi contextul unei lupte a unui partener de mariaj cu celalalt care se sublimeaza prin transferare in lupta politica. Clear as mud, presupun. Contextul e greu de dat deoarece este mult mai lung si mai greu de inteles daca nu cititi tot restul capitolului, dar v-am rezumat cum am stiut mai bine contextul esential.

cause of war (casus belli)
cauza/motivul razboiului


Explanation:
It is often misspelled and mispronounced as "causus belli" since this resembles the English "cause" (and a different Latin word, causa {cause}). "Casus belli" is also pronounced this way because the term is used with the meaning of "cause for war", instead of "case of war" (notice that "case" comes from Latin "casus").

Explanation:
banuiesc ca fraza este din cartea "A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton" unde este scris
despre relatia ei cu Bill “the unstated casus belli” of every crisis including impeachment.

Asker: Da, Mihaela, ai dreptate in general actiunea generala la asta se refera, a fost un conflict tacit, dar cauza lui, adica termenul de tradus: casus belli, motivul care a declansat acest conflict tacit. mai vedem.

agree  Elena Matei
2 hrs
  -> Multumesc Matei
disagree  Anca Nitu: nu e conflict tacit ! e cauza nespusa a conflictului ! cf cu limba engleza :) CASUS belli = cauza conflictului/ unstated CASUS belli = cauza nedeclarata a conflictului

disagree  Mihaela Brooks: motivul vrajbei dintre Hillary si BIll...nu suna prea bine
1 hr
  -> poate luati un moment din timpul dvs pretios sa va uitati la ce am scris : eu propun "casus belli"..... nu "motivul vrajbei " care inafara de gustul dvs personal e o traducere corecta a expresiei
