Hi handyy,

However, maybe better will be "stand with him face to face". What do you think, handyy? (Lilly?)

Sorry, Lilly, but "stand up to him" has a quite different meaning for me

Yes, a little. But I was only wondering what handyy wanted to say by "facing him"... Sorry, maybe it wasn't necessary. Forgive me, please.

to face up to sth/sb = to stand up to sb

It means "to confront, to deal with (something unpleasant) head on."

And wouldn't it be better to translate this "ÅŸu iki kelimeyi" too? -->
"...and staring into his eyes say these three words: "I know karate"."
What do you think, Handyy?

In Turkish is "and say these two word" but in English they are really three, so I agree, Sunnybebek.

If you think that part is important, we don't have to "specify" the number of words, we can simply say:
...say these few words

Yes of course. It would be even better, Lilly. Good idea!

Hi to all

Lily, you changed the part "stand facing him" as "stand up to him", but this phrase doesn't convey the correct meaning. (Maybe, "stand in front of him" ).

Btw, I didn't translate the part "say two/these three words", because I thought when we say "word", we may think of three single or separate words. But "I know karate" is a whole sentence.

Or am I wrong? What do you think, Lilian?

"stand in front of him" would be fine, then
About "words"...it may refer to a short sentence, no problem.
I'll edit that part and accept, OK?
