Trendy like hell in its own unimpressive pink fashion Explanation: What can you do with a phrase like that? Trendy = trendy ad pommern til = in a mess, awful, as bad as bad can be (according to Gyldendal), but as you are writing about Berlin, it's worth noticing the play on 'Pommern' = Pomerania upåfaldende = unremarkable, unimpressive, nothing out of the ordinary cyklamenagtig = one of those made-up words that must mean whatever the writer wants it to, but 'cyklamen' is a shocking pink colour (and, evidently, the name of a flower of this colour) Good luck! :) |

\"Trendy ad pommern til på sin egen upåfaldende, cyklamenagtige måde. Trendy like hell in his own unassuming flamboyant way Explanation: I believe unassuming is best word to cover "upaafaldende"in this context because "upaafaldende" here is a direct opposite to "cyklameagtige" which is what makes this sentence so funny. The word "unassuming" is a softer and more subtle word and has an element of neutral humility to it. In my opinion "unimpressive is too opinionated and does not really describe the actual meaning of "upaafaldende". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 769 days (2015-06-22 15:50:07 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- his/its - depending on what is referred to of course :) |
