peer agreement (net): +1celebrated [the occasion] in style Explanation: This is one of those Russian terms that is diffifult to aptly translate in a couple of words. If you are looking for variations you could use "pushed the boat out to celebrate..." or "marked the occasion..." The context may require that you specify the inclusion of alcohol, dancing, eating a lot etc, but you can add this after the phrase, such as: "...celebrated [the occasion] in style, with champagne, a disco and 300 friends" |
