wannabe:person or object & if comparison indicated 13:04 Jul 18, 2009
if term wannabe refers to a person or to an object. Both are possible. And if a comparison is shown. eg, Mac users says that Windows is a Mac wannabe. Another example. XXX park is a Disneyland wannabe. It can be used a lot to describe the lack of functionality of the object; used for cameras, phones, cars, etc. So, "faible copie" or "pale copie" would be appropriate in context of comparison with another person or object. <br>As for someone and their ability and will: "il se prend pour qui" or "qqn qui n'est pas à la hauteur" or "qqn qui n'a pas la compétence".<br> |
