"Even squares are crying sometimes"
Hello! :)
I have a question about a meaning.
Are you sure that you want to say 'meaning'? This doesn't seem to be the right word. We're talking about the grammatical construction of a sentence, not about its meaning. Or maybe you mean a 'saying' - this is a 'traditional Swedish saying', perhaps?
"Even squares are crying sometimes"
This is grammatically correct, but the use of the present continuous is a little strange. It would be more normal to use the simple present ('cry') to refer to a general fact like this.
"Even squares cry sometimes"
This sounds fine.
"Sometimes even squares cry."
This is also possible.
Which of them is that correct way to say it?
In Swedish "Även fyrkanter gråter ibland".
So - what does it mean?
Thanks!
