Грамблер, а у hold есть такое значение?
People, SQUABBLE and QUARREL (as verbs) are words that we use very seldom - they're someone old. We use them when we want to be humorous or downplay the severity of a situation. Today we use ARGUE and FIGHT.
Andrey: you don't need AMONG THEMSELVES. Also the whole statement sounds like something a judge would say during a trial.
Elena, "picking A quarrel" only has on participant... somebody says or does things to antagonize the other person, who can either play into it or ignore it altogether. So it's not effective here.
Grumbler, falling out doesn't necessarily involve an argument or a fight - one person just stops speaking to the other.
Also, you don't "hold somebody from something," you KEEP them from DOING something.
PREVENT is a little too formal for this statement.
Uly, thanks for the detailed explanation. Live and learn!
Anytime, Margarita)))
А я больше шарю в канцелярском, так как работаю с ним каждый день. Хотел написать сначала keep them from squabbling, но до arguing в этом контексте точно бы не додумался. Улий, спасибо. Удалить думаешь?
Да нет, грамотно же, только немного формально и among themselves лишнее.
Got it
👌
@"Grumbler, falling out doesn't necessarily involve an argument or a fight - one person just stops speaking to the other."
I agree, but one of the meanings of "поссориться" is "to fall out" -
So, I can imagine that "удержать их от ссоры" can mean "keep from falling out"
Deleted my translation regardless - because of "hold"
Andrew, помогите пожалуйста мне перевести несколько предложений, очень нужно для урока))
Давайте, только я в дороге, попозже. Но нас тут много)
Елена, спасибо огромное😊, все предложения есть у меня на странице)))
