| | Clarification request(s) and responsexxxFrancis Lee: 11:15pm Apr 11, 2005: For Cliff's sake: what's the context? Personal interest? Is this for subtitling/dubbing(/dumbing-down) purposes or do you simply require enlightenment? -
xxxFrancis Lee: 12:16am Apr 12, 2005: Ausserdem wäre der vollständige Satz (WIE IMMER!) hilfreich ... -
Antje Ruppert (asker): 4:21am Apr 12, 2005: Entire sentence - "He's a blowhard, a liar, and a bullthrower." That's the sentence without any more context other than JR's intent to squash Cliff Barnes. This is a subtitling job and I most prefer "Schwätzer" as a German translation. Thanks for all the help. Antje
