Как перевести? (ru-en)

Вам не мешает открытое окно? Может, я закрою?

    Is it fine if the window stays open, or shall I close it?

+++Yasir: Good use of SHALL!

a bдобавил комментарий 8 years ago

Uly, thanks. I guess people tend to go for 'should' instead these days? I saw it used by characters in US movies even, Mr. Robot being one example.

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий 8 years ago

Actually, this is the only time we use SHALL. The British use it to form the future tense, Americans never do. Good job!

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий 8 years ago

I would say we use should and shall in equal measure in this context.

Oh, I see. Indeed, in an article on Internet I just found it is stated that 'shall' nowadays is used almost in only one scenario, when someone is suggesting their help to other person; as in Shall I help you? It’s too crowded here, shall we go to park instead?

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий 8 years ago

Exactly, that’s what I mean. We don’t use it to form the future, we just use it in suggestions like the ones you mentioned, or in your wonderful translations above.

Cool, great to know.
