Discussion
to render it sounds nice... I am going to keep it… to translate I know (well, at least I must, is my profession, lol). “To express” and “to describe” have Spanish calques (Latin etymology) …
But there is nothing like “verter”?
Excerpt from drae entry.
verter
Del lat. vertĕre 'girar, dar la vuelta',
1. tr. Derramar o vaciar líquidos, y también cosas menudas, como sal, harina, etc. U. t. c. prnl.
2. tr. Inclinar un recipiente o volcarlo para vaciar su contenido. U. t. c. prnl.
3. tr. traducir (‖ expresar en una lengua lo escrito o expresado en otra).
For me has been always fascinating the idea of a liquid falling, the image of pouring (literal translation in English) the liquid from one recipient into another...
Is nice that in translation we have at the end of the process (if that is a point where we are able to really arrive) both recipients full, with the same (more or less) content.
I searched for “pour in other language” as a calque of this expression, but looks like it doesn’t work for languages or words.
