Russian term

гладкие-прегладкие / гладкие-гладкие (плоды)

Russian to English Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
"гладкие-прегладкие / гладкие-гладкие плоды джиды" vs. "сморщеные плоды"

Джида - это дерево в Средней Азии с плодами типа финика.

Перевожу вообще-то с узбекского, это усиление как-то передается на английском?
Спасибо.

perfectly smooth

Может быть, как вариант, подойдет perfectly (совершенно, идеально) - т.к. тут и подразумевается "идеально (какие-то)"

В данном случае получится perfectly smooth

silky smooth

That's the first thing that comes to mind, but it doesn't fit the context very well. A phrase like 'smooth as a baby's bottom' are even less appropriate in this case, but it does exist.

Peer comment(s):

agree The Misha : Baby bottom smooth was my first thought too, but you are right, it may be a tad too much for certain audiences. Silky smooth works, I guess.
