Romanian term

a anula (pe cineva) (ceva)

Romanian to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
Buna,
Am probleme in a traduce acest sens al lui "a anula".
|
PE CINEVA: Acesta manifestare nu-l anuleaza pe om, ci il intareste.
CEVA: Teoria in cauza nu presupune nici anularea libertatii, nici anularea dorintei de manifestare in cadrul mentionat mai sus.
|
Termeni ca "annul", "abolish", "cancel" se potrivesc greu in aceste doua situatii, probabil "eliminate" merge in a doua situatie.

@Mary Stefan It is not about "diminishing", but more than that.
Mary Stefan Jun 18, 2011:
How about: "diminish oneself";
"abolish the freedom";
"inhibit the desire to express".

to negate (someone or something)

aş sugera mai degrabă "to negate", care în cazul de faţă ar însemna "a anula prin negarea (dreptului de a exista)"
