to make sth. for the asking, for free
Ja bih rekla: "Why did Jovanovic made the gun 'for the asking'at Novi Beograd..."
'To make for the asking', dakle.
To have/to get for the asking bi se moglo upotrijebiti ali u slucaju da se radi o pasivu.
'for free' je takodjer adekvatan izraz, ali u drugom kontekstu
posto se ovdje radi o predmetu, onda mi se cini da je najbolje upotrijebiti frazu 'for the asking'
Izvor: Van Dale, holandsko-engleski enciklopedijski rjecnik('voor het oprapen'= 'they have got it for the asking/they have made it for the asking)
The Canadian Oxford Dictionary - 'for the asking' = obtainable for nothing

sad sam primijetila stamparsku greskicu (koja je u stvari izazvala veliku gramaticku gresku)
\"Why did Jovanovic MAKE the gun \'for the asking\'...\"
Za to postoji izraz: \"Tako je to kad su uzda brza od konja\" , a sigurna sam da ih ima jos puno slicnih
Bilo bi ih interesantno prevoditi (ali za pare, naravno)...
