erica feberwee Posted October 19, 2018 at 08:32 AM Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 at 08:32 AM dank voor je reactie, maar dat kan het niet zijn. een amah zorgt goed voor haar mevrouw, die depressief en ziekelijk is. ze doet kruiden in haar bad opdat mevrouw zich 'largee' gaat voelen. laji voelt ze zich al . : -) erica feberwee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about giving a bit of context? where does it happen? what is the background/ethnicity of the characters? Do they speak Cantonese, Mandarin, what?

edelweis Posted October 20, 2018 at 03:44 PM Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 at 03:44 PM Yes, I think you'd better ask the author. Or just leave it untranslated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
