užgulti priebalsius/užsikvempti ant priebalsių Explanation: Netgi būdamas blaivas, kalbėdamas jis taip užgula priebalsius, lyg jie būtų baro stalas. Aišku, 'lean on smth' nebūtinai reiškia 'užgulti/užsikvempti, tačiau šiuo atveju gal ir tinka. Juk čia grožinis tekstas, ar ne? O jei be pagražinimų, tai Gintauto atsakymas labai tikslus. |
