it's improper Explanation: or just "shouldn't" (agree with the asker and Gary) Second option - omit it, the meening is very close to needn't which goes after technically this is a short form from cледует (should) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2010-07-01 14:54:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In general - not a very widely used term, very colloquial -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2010-07-01 14:54:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://enc-dic.com/synonym/Ne-Sled-41991.html |

peer agreement (net): +1| не след и нет никакой необходимости neither need nor should Explanation: не след = не пристало -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2010-07-01 15:01:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- `Не думаю, что ... но' is negation followed by opposition (broken in any language) thus producing a null set of meanings, hence — Не думаю, что это прозвучит уж очень заносчиво, но — I don't think it would be an exaggeration to tell that |

it is not perspective for the self-employed Explanation: "Не следует" -that fact, that Russians are still awaiting some sort of hocus-pocus to happen, it doesn't play in hand ( towards company's perspective business) . -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2010-07-01 22:29:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry - " it's not a perspective" |
