Is it correct to say "brushing in both ways"?
alina
English translation:brush both ways / brush in both directions
Explanation:
I have no idea what the Romanian says, but going simply on what you have explained, you don't need to use 'in' if you uses 'ways', or else, if you wish to use 'in', then it needs to go with, for example, 'directions'.
