Talk:lamauttaa

Archived from "Requested entries/Finnish"

lamaannuttaa (Synonym of "lamautttaa") I found in another dictionary that this verb mean "cripple", "paralyze", "lame", "numb", "devitalize", "discourage" and "incapacitate"; but can it be a kind of auxiliary verb with the latter meanings? "Laimistunut ilme sisaren kasvoilla lamaannutti halun jatkaa." = "The diluted expression on the sister's face discouraged the continuation of the desire"? Wisapi 21:16, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Almost so: "The diluted (an English writer would probably choose another word, maybe "unenthusiastic" or "disillusioned") expression on sister's face crippled his desire to continue." --Hekaheka 02:49, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
