to make sth. for the asking, for free Explanation: Ja bih rekla: "Why did Jovanovic made the gun 'for the asking'at Novi Beograd..." 'To make for the asking', dakle. To have/to get for the asking bi se moglo upotrijebiti ali u slucaju da se radi o pasivu. 'for free' je takodjer adekvatan izraz, ali u drugom kontekstu posto se ovdje radi o predmetu, onda mi se cini da je najbolje upotrijebiti frazu 'for the asking' Izvor: Van Dale, holandsko-engleski enciklopedijski rjecnik('voor het oprapen'= 'they have got it for the asking/they have made it for the asking) The Canadian Oxford Dictionary - 'for the asking' = obtainable for nothing -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 hrs 16 mins (2005-04-16 10:19:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- sad sam primijetila stamparsku greskicu (koja je u stvari izazvala veliku gramaticku gresku) \"Why did Jovanovic MAKE the gun \'for the asking\'...\" Za to postoji izraz: \"Tako je to kad su uzda brza od konja\" , a sigurna sam da ih ima jos puno slicnih Bilo bi ih interesantno prevoditi (ali za pare, naravno)... |
