lonely

Dutch translation: only = enig

15:16 Mar 25, 2004
English to Dutch translations [Non-PRO]
Law/Patents - Other
English term or phrase: lonely
In this category the only relatives holding a right to be indemnified are:

Single / lonely son or daughter (neither brothers nor sisters)

Context: schadeloosstelling bij een auto-ongeval waarbij sterfgevallen zijn

Single son: enige zoon
maar hoe vertaal je lonely?

Dutch translation:only = enig
Explanation:
It is a mistake and should read "only" son or daughter, i.e., 'enige zoon of dochter'.

"Single" is 'alleenstaand' of 'zonder partner'.

Could it be a text that has already been translated from another language into English?

zonder partner


Explanation:
zoon of dochter zonder partner.
Al geldt het dus alleen voor kinderen onder de achttien. De verzekering wil blijkbaar die kleine groep kinderen onder de achttien met partner uitsluiten.

disagree  Saskia Steur (X): Nee, het gaat juist om personen die enig kind zijn (staat er zelfs tussen haakjes bij)

  -> je kan enig kind zijn en een partner hebben. En volgens mij worden die door de verzekering uitgesloten. Dus enig kind met een partner, die worden uitgesloten.
