      Hi! Alexander,              On 10/12/2015 05:29 PM, you wrote to All:               ak> What do you call an absent minded boy?              Simply "absent-minded". 8-)               ak> I put this variant in my translation:        ak> "What a bungler!

However it implies to me that such a person is prone to making wrongful       decisions, or actions in conflict with a desired result.              Being "absent-minded" is something else, where the boy's attention is directed       elsewhere or he's just not mindful of some particular duties or situation.               ak> "Dreamy Daniel" is probably a British variant, that maybe unknown        ak> elsewhere.              I can't recall ever hearing of that.              Cheers,       Paul.              --- Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/31.4.0        * Origin: Paul's other Linux vBox - Maryborough, Qld, OZ (3:640/1384)    |
