How can I translate this into English? "pahle se yah upaay na sujha, nahi itni thand kyu kathe." Does it mean something like "If you had recommended this solution/remedy before, we would not have had to endure such bitter cold" ? I'm a bit lost in the sentence structure and cannot really make out the tone of the sentence (ironic, neutral..) If someone has an idea please tell me, I would be very greatful! Thank you - lola
