crabby/awkward Explanation: Related terms would be things like cicizik, akadékoskodik, csomózkodik, szívóskodik and kellemetlenkedik. So being crabby, cranky, difficult, awkward... So for the sentence 'Mire jó ez a kötözködés?' something like 'Why are you being so crabby/awkward?' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 47 mins (2008-12-19 11:45:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another suggestion for "Mit akar tulajdonképpen? Mire jó ez a kötözködés?". 'What do you really want? What's the point of being so picky?' |

peer agreement (net): +3nitpicking Explanation: Ez akkor jó, ha a "kötözködés" lényege az, hogy az egyik fél mindenben hibát talál, leragad az apró részleteknél. Nem tudom, pontosan miről és hogyan folyik a párbeszéd, de ez is egy lehetőség. |
