Romanian term or phrase: a anula (pe cineva) (ceva)
Buna,
Am probleme in a traduce acest sens al lui "a anula".
|
PE CINEVA: Acesta manifestare nu-l anuleaza pe om, ci il intareste.
CEVA: Teoria in cauza nu presupune nici anularea libertatii, nici anularea dorintei de manifestare in cadrul mentionat mai sus.
|
Termeni ca "annul", "abolish", "cancel" se potrivesc greu in aceste doua situatii, probabil "eliminate" merge in a doua situatie.

to negate (someone or something)
Explanation:
aş sugera mai degrabă "to negate", care în cazul de faţă ar însemna "a anula prin negarea (dreptului de a exista)"
