Re: Translation


 

Hi Ricky
I found the following in the very old 'Drietalige Idioomboek'. They use 'naald' instead of 'ring'.

Jy kan horn deur 'n naald trek.
He looks killing. He is dressed to kill (dressed (up) to
the nines) . He looks as smart as a new pin (threepence).

Hope it helps.

It is better to have read a great work of another culture in translation than never to have read it at all.?-?
