Ольга: at THE time

Katerina Padded a comment 7 years ago

а какой вариант лучше? в разговоре

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

Valery, your sentence would apply if someone were talking about a specific decision, which, given the circumstances, was the only right thing to do at the time. Is that what the Russian means, or is it more general as in Aleksandr's translation?

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

Ольга, это не та фраза, по отношению к прошлому говорят "at THE time", а не "that time"

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

Катерина, я не уверен, но мне кажется, что вариант Александра верен.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

... если речь о том, что что-то было принято когда-то в прошлом.

I’m not clever, baby, I’m American and I was only trying to help you.

Спасибо большое за помощь ; )

Alex, you kick ass! 👍🏼

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

Katerina, you’re welcome 😉

Olga, learn English!

Jane Leshadded a comment 7 years ago

If you don't need help, Olga, it would be cool to see a correct translation from you.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

Jane, so which do you think is the correct translation?

Anna Sevastyanovaadded a comment 7 years ago

Uly, good evening. I think that Alexander's translation is correct.

Jane Leshadded a comment 7 years ago

Uly, тогда это было уместно sounds pretty general to me. I don't think this phrase implies some specific decision. So Alexander's variant is correct I believe. Btw, I thought Valeriy's translation is good too in this context, but now, after your remark, I see the difference, so thanks =)

Thank you Anna and Jane!
