toteamus

- En osaa sanoa ovatko nuo kysymyksiä vai toteamuksia.

I can't tell if those are questions or statements.

Kerron toteamuksia. Sanot oletko eri mieltä vai et.

I'm going to present you with a series of statements, and I want you to tell me whether you agree or disagree.

Ajatus siitä, että yksi asia käy ja toinen ei, näytti vaativan jonkinlaista todistetta, ennen kuin voi tehdä sellaisen toteamuksen.

The idea that one is OK and one isn't just seemed to require something resembling evidence before you could make that statement definitively.

Teemme "ei kiveäkään kääntämättä" toteamuksen.

Fine, we'll make a "no stone unturned" statement.

Kohdatessamme väkivaltaa yksi nykyajan suosituista latteuksista ― on viitata Dostojevskin toteamukseen Karamazovin veljeksissä:

One of the great platitudes - which are popular today - when we are confronted with acts of violence - is to refer to Theodore Dostoïevsky's - famous statement from 'The Brothers Karamazov':

- Kuulosti toteamukselta.

Sounded more like a statement. Demands an answer.

- Se vaikutti toteamukselta.

- Yes. - Seemed like a statement.

- Ei. Se oli toteamus.

No.I was making a statement.

- Puku on ironinen toteamus.

- A suit's an ironic statement.

- Tuo oli todella neuroottinen toteamus, isä.

That's a deeply neurotic statement, dad. Really.

- Vuoden huonoin toteamus.

- That is the under-statement of the year. Alright!

Eräs Deepak Chopran toteamus on nostattanut minussa toiveita. "Ihmiset yrittävät parhaansa oman tietoisuudensa rajoissa".

And I am really encouraged by Deepak Chopra's statement that people are really doing the best they can given their level of awareness.
