  Perfect Timing



The Almighty must have a wicked sense of humour. I mean how could this and this be happening at the same time if he didn't?

The plot, as they say, thickens.

Prosit, David. Jidher li Alá, Ġesù u Yahweh ftehmu li jerġgħu jqajmu xi riefnu.

Isma', dwar dik is-sentenza li xtaqt tittraduċi (dik li ħallejt fuq il-blogg tiegħi):

À 18 ans, je passais mes journées a rêver d'amour. À 22, je passe mes nuits à le faire.

Kif taf, b'xorti ħażina fil-Malti ħlief ewfemiżmi (naħseb) ma għandniex espressjoni ekwivalenti għal "faire l'amour"/"to make love". Il-proposta tiegħi ewfemiżmu wkoll (u probabbli li diġà ħsibt fiha), imma forsi s-sens ta' l-oriġinali jibqa' impliċitu permezz tal-kelma "nuits/iljieli":

Ta' 18-il sena kont inqatta' l-jiem noħlom bl-imħabba. Il-lum, ta' 22, inqatta' l-iljieli nipprattikaha.

jonkella: ... nwettaq dak li ħlomt.

Ma tantx hi soluzzjoni ħelwa, naf, hija biss proposta... issa nħalluha f'idejn l-esperti, forsi nsibu xi espressjoni aktar grafika.
 
Grazzi Twan - iva l-kelma "nipprattikaha" gietni f'mohhi u hafna ahjar minn "nwettaq dak li hlomt" li hija kemmxejn imgobbna, x'aktarx tfakkar lil dak li jkun f'xi 'ballad' ta' Julie u Ludwig u titlef ghal kollox is-sens originali.
 
Julie u Ludwig? Dawk min il-maddunna hume??!
