Who is the hero? The one who believes or anybody else?

Eldad Eldad April 4, 2012 April 4, 2012 at 11:19:21 AM UTC link Permalink

It seems, at least from all (or most) variants, that he believes [himself] to be a hero.

But I believe that El is a hero:) OK. Anyway, I translated it as you said.Take care.

Thanks, duran :)
By the way, suppose the context suggests that the second "he" refers to another person, not the subject of the sentence.

Could you write the Turkish translation in that second scenario?

Eldad Eldad April 4, 2012 April 4, 2012 at 12:25:05 PM UTC link Permalink

By the way, in Hebrew the ambiguity remains. "He" may be understood both as referring to the subject of the sentence as well as to another person.

corrected it as another person.

This is what I want. The mistakes should be corrected. But sometimes some sentences convey different meanings by themselves. So I can't decide which one to use or how to translate. As you told above, there is an ambiguity in English sentence. Never mind, that's OK as it is now.

You are right Nero. This one is more understanable. Thank you.
