После let глагол употребляется без частицы to! don't let anyone take control of you

Dimitry Ostretsovadded a comment 6 years ago

А теперь ждем носителя языка (предположительно Uly) чтобы выбрал победителя.

+++Dimitry - very natural.

⦿ ULYadded a comment 6 years ago

Tatiana, LET takes a plain infinitive (no TO).

⦿ ULYadded a comment 6 years ago

Elena, GOVERN isn’t the best choice of verb here.

⦿ ULYadded a comment 6 years ago

Sabina, although your translation is grammatical, I would take it as a reproach to mean that the speaker finds the person in question uncontrollable, whereas the original post sounds more like a piece of advice to not let anyone control you.

Sabina Bakhishevaadded a comment 6 years ago

It's a bit out of the context. And I feel it can be either a recommendation or resentment. Or even scolding. So could be several options 😉

⦿ ULYadded a comment 6 years ago

If you say so... I don’t really know what the Russian means.

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 6 years ago

Oh sorry, my first intention was to write "allow", then I changed my mind but overlooked the "to".

👍🏼😉✋🏼

Elena, change that damn verb so I can give you a heart! I love everything about your translation but the verb 🧐

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 6 years ago

Uly, 😁, is there any other verb except "control" for this?

⦿ ULYadded a comment 6 years ago

Not really.

Dimitry Ostretsovadded a comment 6 years ago

Elena, maybe 'manipulate' will satisfy you?

⦿ ULYadded a comment 6 years ago

Actually, yes, Dimitry is right - manipulate could work.

⦿ ULYadded a comment 6 years ago

Good one, Dmitry! 👍🏼
