¿No sería "not even he* realizes..."?

Eso parece.

starts raving?
What do you mean? (could you explain?)

marcelostockle marcelostockle October 23, 2011 October 23, 2011 at 3:19:07 AM UTC flag Report link Permalink

Perhaps I meant rambling. Is that correct?

Eldad Eldad October 23, 2011 October 23, 2011 at 3:40:42 AM UTC flag Report link Permalink

Yes, it sounds better. But I'm still not sure what you originally meant to say. You mean he starts "wandering"? Like drifting away to various directions?

I guess Shishir could respond better to that.

The original sentence meant to say that the teacher starts talking about one topic, and then he wanders from that topic and starts talking about something that is just slightly related to the main theme (or not related at all).

Thanks, Shishir. I'm not sure which word to use here. I used the word "wandering", and so did you. I also used the word "drifting", but I'm not sure it would be suitable here.

What about "digressing"?

Eldad Eldad October 23, 2011 October 23, 2011 at 1:30:37 PM UTC flag Report link Permalink

I like it.
