kā saka paruna, aizdedziniet sveci, nevis lamājiet tumsu Explanation: :) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 mins (2005-07-11 10:27:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- varbūt \"lamājiet\" vietā labāk būtu \"nolādiet\" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2005-07-11 10:42:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Domāju, ka nē. Pārpratīs, latvieiem ir arī paruna par gaismas neanu ar maisiem istabā, tā vietā, lai uztaisītu logus. Varbūt labāk izmantot o parunu? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2005-07-11 10:42:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Domāju, ka nē. Pārpratīs, latvieiem ir arī paruna par gaismas neanu ar maisiem istabā, tā vietā, lai uztaisītu logus. Varbūt labāk izmantot o parunu pilnībā? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2005-07-11 10:43:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"...labāk uztaisiet logus, nevis nesiet gaismu istabā ar maisiem\" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2005-07-11 10:47:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Es tomēr teiktu: \"... aizdedziniet sveci, nevis lādiet tumsu\". Saprotami un tuvu oriģinālam. |
