Among = Parmi, entre

Oh! A picture! But it sounds less like "work" and more like "vacation"...
Somewhat ties in with comment 37 on the previous post. I hope the swim was refreshing.
I promise you not to laugh, this time.
Nice place.
Dear friends, it's not finish. Wait a moment.
That's fine... we'll take the work in progress.
And for language, I'm just wondering whether you mean "the horse between" or "the horse among" the trees. The first would apply if you had a horse situated between two trees only. The second, a horse among a multiplicity of trees, for example in a forest (in French, we use entre in both instances, but in English there is a subtle distinction. I have a feeling what you mean is "The horse among the trees".
Thank you, Doreus, for your suggestion.
Your help is a gold for me.
In spite of a long time watching the trees, i couldn't see the horse.
I hope it wasn't a sea horse...
Really ? And you, Doreus, did you see the horse ? Maybe I delirium.
The painters of the caves of Lascaux did exiting animals from existing forms on the walls. Here, I think that is the same exercise.
Oh! I see the horse made up of trees! Yes! The two darker trees directly in front of the pale building. It's looking (or going) towards the right.
Mind you, with what I've visited lately, I could think that it was a dinosaur...
Ahhh ! I must have cautioned by this shade of meaning, among is not beetween.
I felt so sure that I had to look at something microscopic that i watched at this picture four times enlarged !
I must made it smaller on the contrary to see your horse.
Now, i can see nothing but that horse....
Doreus, It's true, we can see also a dinosaure, or the Lochness Monster, or some other animals ... but it seems to me that the horse is win.
This game look like at game of shapes with the clouds, but this horse is almost permanent, it appears at beginner of summer, and disappears on the end of summer.
Krn, I have a problem with your sentence (my English is still deficient). Can I ask you of say me the same thing in french ? Sorry. :-(
Doreus, I wanted say "at beginning of summer", sorry.
Hi Momo.
About the beginner/beginning, don't feel self-conscious. Mistakes do happen. I only point out major ones that I have had to stumble over as I was learning English (and continue to do so, to say the truth).
Yes, horse, dinosaur, or anything else... it's a beast! And it's interesting that unlike the shapes of clouds, its own shape will only evolve very slowly, as the trees grow. Fascinating.
Is that the view from your window? You seem to be very familiar with that spot. Where is it?
Doreus, it's reassuring that you say about English.
It's the view from the beach where I go sometimes, but it's very near from my flat, about 2 minutes by bike.
Certainement Momo, c'est ainsi qu'on apprend. Je disais donc :
J'aurais du être alertée par cette nuance, parmi n'est pas entre.
J'étais si sure qu'il fallait que je regarde quelque chose de microscopique que j'ai observée cette photo agrandie quatre fois !
J'aurais du la rétrécir au contraire pour voir votre cheval.
Maintenant je ne peux plus rien voir d'autre que ce cheval...
Merci, Krn, je suis rassuré.
Merci, aussi, d'avoir pris la peine de me traduire votre commentaire.
Habituellement, ce n'est pas nécessaire, mais là je n'y étais vraiment pas parvenu.
Krn, c'est donc la nuance entre le mot "between" et "among" qui vous a induite en erreur ? Ai-je bien compris ?
oui, c'est exactement ça.
maravilloso
sublime
Woaw, les beaux compliments, et en si peu de mots (lettres, devrais-je dire).
Merci Marisa (de retour dans la blogosphère ?) et Norita (bienvenue !).
Krn, c'est incroyable qu'un seul mot soit à même de changer la vision d'une image, c'est un pouvoir incroyable, et très révélateur de la consubstantialité entre mots et images.
