Me too

I would say STREAM calls to mind a big flow and doesn’t correctly translate речка. I would suggest STREAMLET.

thank you

👍🏼

That’s a very nice turn of phrase - did you come up with it on your own or with help?

with help

Good work!

That one’s not too good. I think you have the same situation in Russian sometimes. Who was meandering, WE or the STREAMLET?

Also, we don’t know if they were meandering. They could have been on a mission or direct path somewhere. MEANDER means to WANDER for people, and to CURVE or WIND for rivers. But this post isn’t about the motion of either the speaker or the river, it’s about the moment when they look up and see a river.

At least that’s what I’m assuming from the Russian - I may be wrong.

Elena, I’m sure you got MEANDER from a native. This is what I mean when I say that even natives can’t always be trusted. If you ask for help, they want to comply so they’ll give you anything. YOU know the context, YOU know English and Russian, so YOU have to be the ultimate judge of what you post. Your last translation is a gorgeous rendering of the original Russian post - almost poetic in it’s simplicity and expression))

(I mean the one that’s up now)
