eat us out of house

Traduções dos usuários (1)

  1. 1.

    эта фраза описывает такую ситуацию, когда кто-то живет у вас в доме, никогда не покупает продуктов, при этом постоянно и много ест, до того степени, что вызывает финансовые проблемы

    Comentário do tradutor

    Your brother better not lose his new job, because he's not moving back in here. Last time, he almost ate us out of house and home!

выесть нас из дома?

Igor Yurchenkoadicionou o comentário 8 years ago

Uly, you can omit "такую" in the beginning. and "до такой степени", but it's a typo, I guess

⁌ ULY ⁍adicionou o comentário 8 years ago

No, they're mistakes :). Thank you! When I was trying to say was that they eat and eat TO THE POINT of causing financial problems.

⁌ ULY ⁍adicionou o comentário 8 years ago

How would you say that?

Igor Yurchenkoadicionou o comentário 8 years ago

well, as I've said. "описывает ситуацию, когда... ". usually when you say "описывает такую ситуацию" you follow up with которой...". but I guess all possible combinations here are correct, it's just that "такую" is a bit redundant here. it's not that you can't use it, you just don't need to.
"до того степени" is wrong. "степень" is feminine, so "того" doesn't fit here at all. actually "до такой степени" is устойчивое выражение (sorry, but I can't recall how to call it in English)
on the whole, you wrote everything right. you made yourself perfectly understood. these two (one and a half, even) mistakes don't really affect the meaning of what you've written

Thanks again. That's extremely helpful to me.

So when a situation escalates TO THE POINT of causing something, how do you express that. For example, here someone eats and eats to the point of causing their hosts financial difficulties.

Igor Yurchenkoadicionou o comentário 8 years ago

several options are available here: "вплоть до чего-то", "до того момента когда", "пока не" and maybe some others. if I translate your post, I'd say "они едят и едят, пока у хозяев не возникают финансовые трудности"

Last time, he almost ate us out of house and home! - В прошлый раз он нам своим аппетитом чуть по миру не пустил!

⁌ ULY ⁍adicionou o comentário 8 years ago

Perfect! Thank you 👍🏼
