English term

y'know

English to Greek Marketing Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
Πώς να το αποδώσω αυτό; Είναι αρκετά slang και θα ήθελα κάτι παρόμοιο και στα ελληνικά. Το "ξέρεις" δε μου πολυαρέσει.

‘It ended up being very challenging and I wanted to make sure we got it right so there were a lot of takes, a lot of rehearsals and, y'know, I showed up early that day. But it was worth it, I think we got it right - we nailed it.’
Change log

Oct 10, 2008 11:54: Vasilisso changed "Level" from "Non-PRO" to "PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (3): Vicky Papaprodromou, Spiros Doikas, Vasilisso

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

και να φανταστείς...

Εγώ έτσι θα το απέδιδα, Κατερίνα: (κάναμε πολλές πρόβες) και να φανταστείς έφτασα από τα χαράματα εκείνη τη μέρα.
Μια και θέλει να δώσει έμφαση στο γεγονός ότι πήγε στο γύρισμα πολύ νωρίς.

με πιάνεις, τόπιασες

Αλλά να σου πω την μαύρη αλήθεια το "y'know" δεν είναι δα τόσο slangish και θα μπορούσες κάλλιστα να πεις "ξέρεις εσύ", "καταλαβαίνεις τώρα", "έχεις ιδέα απ' αυτά".

γι' αυτό, όπως καταλαβαίνεις

συμφωνώ με τους υπόλοιπους ότι δεν είναι και πολύ slang και μάλιστα εδώ νομίζω έχει θέση και σημασία επεξηγηματικού συνδέσμου. Δηλαδή "και γι' αυτό, (/)όπως καταλαβαίνεις, εκείνη τη μέρα πήγα νωρίς στο γύρισμα"

Αν και δεν είναι τόσο slang αν θες να δεις slang δες το "y'all come back now , ya hear?" :D
