How would you translate this sense of gut please ” Sie ist derzeit der stärkste Kraft in Thüringham, gut ein Jahr vor der Landtagswahl”
Nice example. This type of phrasing means that it’s roughly a year and a bit more, but that “more” doesn’t really matter here. Could be 14 months or 15. It’s more a question of “does it feel like in a year from now?”
Thanks. Thinking if there is an english equivalent but nothing has sprung to mind yet.
While I’m here is there a difference between “kann ja sein” and “kann gut sein” ?
“kann gut sein” can mean:
– can/could be good
and (this is what you are going for)
– very well possible
“kann ja sein” is based on the “as has been established”-ja, so it’s not the same.
The best translation depends on the context, though.
Have you read my article on “ja” by any chance?
i did a while ago, i think i just got a bit muddled in this instance,time to reread it…
