Polish term

Jak sobie postanowiliśmy, tak zrobiliśmy.

Polish to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Poszukuję typowo angielskiej wersji powyższego wyrażenia, a nie twardego, bezpośredniego tłumaczenia. Skłaniałem się ku "As we decided, so we did", ale nie zauważyłem, by takie coś funkcjonowało.

Mile widziany byłby też odpowiednik niuansu w postaci "sobie postanowiliśmy", podobnie jak w zdaniach typu "Rób już jak tam sobie chcesz".

agree Andrzej Mierzejewski : Może nawet "by ourselves for ourselves", żeby było możliwie najbardziej zgodnie z oryginałem, ale chyba żaden slang takiej zbitki by nie pomieścił. ;-)

Dzięki. :-) Tak, kopa ziemniaczanych lat. ;-). Miło widzieć znów. U nas początek the dog days of summer. Wilgoć i upał. Przesyłam upał, wilgoć zatrzymam.;-)
