eine solche Frau für den Mann


Explanation:
Im Sinne von "als Partnerin" - so würde ich das verstehen (also quasi wie "cercasi donna per signore" :-).

Example sentence(s):
  • «O tu ch'onori scienzia e arte, questi chi son c'hanno cotanta onranza, che dal modo de li altri li diparte?».
  • Du, aller Künst' und Wissenschaften Ehre, Wer sind denn diese, die solch Ansehn haben, Daß sie getrennt hält von der Andern Heere?
