peer agreement (net): +1can act consistently/logically, can keep to the point/theme, can sustain a line of reasoning Explanation: There is no explicit indication in your question (or its short context) as to the level of formality required, and I'm therefore submitting a couple of alternatives here. The first one is semantically the least specific one, so if you need a translation with more specific content, maybe one of the other equivalents proposed will suit your purpose(s). There is some discussion of röd tråd at https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/106430/does-engl... but you might wish to take at least some of the viewpoints expressed there with a grain of salt. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2017-09-11 07:48:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The website at http://www.linguee.com is often quite useful in that the site provides examples of translation equivalents which were actually used in real texts, many of which are carefully reviewed before they are published. Example sentence(s):
