English term
How other people tick
English to Romanian
Art/Literary
Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
When we say that we do not like or trust other people, it is often not because they have offended or let us down, but because they are not "our type" or because we are ignorant of ***how they tick***.
M-am gindit sa zic: "felul cum ne putem raporta la ei", dar nu ma satisface. :) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mersi!

...''because we are ignorant of ***how they tick***.''
Eu îl înţeleg aşa:
''... pentru că nu le înţelegem modul de gândire/nu înţelegem cum gândesc''

felul de a fi
O sugestie. Ma gandesc ca ar merge sa spui "suntem ignoranti fata de felul lor de a fi".

cred ca trebuie o traducere care interpretează întreaga frază şi care, dupa parerea mea, poate fi tradusă liber cu condiţia să respecte sensul întregii fraze

| Da, e foarte buna ideea cu "felul in care functioneaza". Oare cum sa-l exprimam sa sune mai uman? :) Mersi! |
