Dutch term
beestachtig (hier; dubbele betekenis)
Dutch to English
Marketing
General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Heeft iemand nog inspiratie? Ik zoek een betere vertaling voor 'beestachtig' in zeer positieve zin. De vertaler heeft er 'fantastically' van gemaakt, maar daarmee gaat de dubbele betekenis verloren:
* 'Beestachtig' * goede sprekers
* Fantastically * good speakers
Day chairman, Ben Tiggelaar, opened with the thesis: 'My colleagues are like dolphins, but perhaps with a little more hair.' Jan Kloosterman, vice president at Sara Lee, continued the comparison between animals and business with a funny parable in which cats appear as symbols for the research and development department. 'Can you change a cat into a herd animal?' he asks.
Bedankt!
Groetjes, Els

beastly good
I don't see why you can't simply use 'beastly good'
