pogumen, vendar ne lahkomiseln Explanation: Risk-taker is a bit difficult to translate in one word. I propose to replace with "corageus" (pogumen). Alternative would be (Rad tvega, vendar ni lahkomislen.) (He likes to take chances, but is not reckless.) |

peer agreement (net): +2nagnjen k tveganju, vendar ne malomaren/rad tvega, a je skrben Explanation: I suspect Andrej and kamelot are having a bit of fun today :) But seriously: a risk taker is neither pogumen (=brave, courageous) nor a fanatik (a fanatic/freak). A risk-taker is "nagnjen k tveganju" in Slovenian. Yes, grammatical transposition does take place here. You could back-translate "nagnjen k tveganju" back to English into something like "has a tendency to take risks". You can also choose "rad tvega" for risk-taker. It back-translates into "likes to take risks". And reckless is "malomaren", therefore NOT reckless is NE malomaren. If you too you can also use "previden" (careful), "oprezen" (cautious) or "preudaren" (prudent) instead of "ne malomaren". Your call. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day12 hrs (2008-04-03 20:25:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I just noticed I managed to make a m*ss of one sentence :D What I meant was: If you want to, you can also use "previden" (careful), "oprezen" (cautious) or "preudaren" (prudent) instead of "ne malomaren".
