better than your face Explanation: There is a typo here! It should be either "suRatından" or "sıfatından", both means the same thing : Face=surat=sıfat in Turkish. There is a saying to describe mood of an unhappy or angry person : "Suratından düşen bin parça" http://atasozum.com/atasozu/suratından düşen bin parça olmak Second, "sıfatından" can be used for him/her" or "your" in Turkish, which is another vague point here that can only be understood from the context easily. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2014-06-11 13:55:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In addition, such more specifying adjectives as "more presentable" or more sleek" etc. can be preferable to "better", which is a rather vague term. However, to propose a correct alternative term to "better", again, we need to see the context. |
