Ha! Look! There!
You there!
Look, there he is!
This one, that one, that
Give me (us) . . .! Bring me (us), let me (us) have . . .!
Inner voice
This theory is rather weak
Composed(ly), with one’s mind at ease
Calm, composed, confident
Calm(ly), confident(ly)
Here, take it! There you have . . .
There he is . . .
To let one’s eyes wonder
To wander aimlessly about
He was no longer himself, he was floating in higher regions, he was
beside himself, he was out of his senses
He was no longer himself, he was out of his senses
To attach no importance to the fact that . . .
You there!
I (emphatic form)
To burst into laughter
To blow (wind), to rage (storm), to break out (fire)
To take up arms, to enter the war
To rise in arms, to take up arms in opposition
To stand, to plant o.s., station o.s.
To get on one’s feet
Suppose that, assuming that . . .
Atoms scattered in all directions
He is in luck’s way, he has a lucky hand in everything
Suppose I had done it
Battle cry, war cry
To cheer s.o.
To call to s.o.
A voice called out to him, an invisible force told him, made him (do s.th.)
To give (s.o.)
To jeer, boo
Disclosure, uncovering of s.th. hidden
To disgrace s.o.
To soothe the nerves
To become composed, calm down
A goal which remains unattainable (lit. a goal on the way to which throats are slit)
To calm down! Take it easy! Don’t worry! Don’t be afraid!
My own insignificant self, I (as an expression of modesty)
Besides, moreover, furthermore, what’s more
That costs, amounts to (e.g. fifty dinars)
Now we are even, we are quits
You owe this to me
That’s tough look!
That’s what you need, what you deserve
That is sheer fantasy!
Here is a man to fill any man’s shoes
That’s his affair
He is always that way
This and that are two entirely different things (or matters)
This equals that
That’s pretty strong! That’s laying it on thick
That won’t help you, that will be no use (to you)
This does not concern me, this is none of my business
This is not to my taste
That is very kind of you, that is proof of your goodness
