Oversættelse - Tyrkisk-Engelsk - sen tam bizden olmuÅŸsun ne zaman evlendiriyoruz...

Hi handyy,

I think "marry you off" has a different meaning; something negative. "Pair you off" is more suitable. What do you think?

'Marry you off' is an expression I understand; 'Pair you off' is not very clear for me. 'Marry you off' does not sound negative to me - it is something you could say to a friend, probably as a joke.

First, I traslated like that. But when I looked at dictionary, its definition was something like "to find a husban or wife for someone - used in order to show disapproval". I too changed as "pair you off". Maybe it's not literal translation but I thought it gives the meaning.

If "marry you off" sounds good, no problem then.

Uhh, I didn't see this discussion around here.

Yep, the meaning is just what you said, Lein; it is some kind of joke.

Rollingmaster, as far as I know, "pair off" means "birini ya da bir ÅŸeyi, birisiyle ya da bir ÅŸeyle eÅŸleÅŸtirmek" not "evlendirmek", so I don't think it's suitable here.

Thank you both
