little dogies

English to Romanian Other Slang
"Using a spaghetti western analogy, we found that some of these characters
mean well, others are probably not so great, and still others pose a
danger to our long-term existence. Now that those little dogies have
ambled off into the sunset, it’s time to re-people our oater scenario with
fats of vegetable origin."

(chiar asa scrie: dogies)
Proposed translations (Romanian)
3 vitelusi

De acord, stiu ca intrebarea mea n-a fost clara, e o expresie si nu inteleg ce ar vrea ei sa spuna; e un capitol despre grasimile rele si bune din alimentatie...
Svetlana Virjnevschi Oct 30, 2012:
De acord, Claudia Intregul segment "Now that those little dogies have ambled off into the sunset" ar necesita un echivalent "catchy" in romana, nu traducere mot-a-mot, bineinteles. Eu am postat traducerea pt "little dogies" pt ca asta a fost intrebarea concreta, autorul nu a solicitat o solutie pt intreaga expresie. Dar ma mai gandesc, poate gasim ceva mai inspirat ;)
Claudia Coja Oct 30, 2012:
Dogie Desi cuvantul in sine s-ar traduce prin "vitel orfan", nu cred ca aceasta e solutia corecta in contextul de fata. E o expresie... cred ca " ambled off into the sunset" ar fi oarecum echivalent cu "au disparut in ceata"...
