French to English
Art/Literary
General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Je ne comprends pas ce que ca veut dire "au bout de ses ". (Extrait du roman )
: Dans mon imagination je voyais Tamara, debout dans une entrée inconnue, un foulard vert autour de la tete, la tache colorée de ses ongles bien visible sous les bas transparents, au bout de ses , et sur sa figure, une expression incrédule, au bord de la déception.
Merci d'avance...

: I'd love to think that this is right, but with those "thong-style toe separators" (as in flipflops), how would on earth she get them on over her tights?

: It's true you can't see your toes when you wear true salomés, but who says novelists systematically check these details? ;-)

: Why the maximum confidence of 5 for something that hasn't even been translated??? /// No need to get so defensive Mr. Duquene. I believe that "au bout de ses" surely needs translating here.

Mainly, Mr Hall, because no translation is required but an explanation. As I offered a different explanation I thought it should be in a different thread. If that is not to your liking, my apologies. I am not a pro as you seem to be with the use of KudoZ.
