looking for a correct translation of "Leserbrief"

[Foah]

Hello everyone,

I tried hard but couldn´t find a correct translation for "Leserbrief".

How about "readers comment"? Can anybody , please, help me out on this issue?

An opinion/article written about some subject. Usually in a newspaper or blog.

thank you Beermat

for your suggestions if they are just suggestions. Or is there no such word in English?I mean opinion or article do sound a tad too common to my ears and not exactly meet the task, do they?

Anyway here is one you should have melt on your tongue: " letter to the editor "
:wink:

Just liked to share it to you

"Critique"?

[Sharap]

"Letter to the editor" seems to be on spot. Such letters are usually addressed to the editor of the newspaper in which the article tackled or commented on by the reader has been published.

It's my best guess based on my little knowledge of German and my even more limited knowledge of English.

I hope I'm not disturbing.

Great thread!

Sharap (Laura).

Hello Skiluck and Sharap,

wow I almost had missed your suggestions.

And yes Skiluck, mostly it comes to be considered as a critique whereat it almost always displays the idea of being negative. But critique can also provide very positive aspects. It depends on the receivers view and, of course, on the writers intention.

Laura , no you don´t disturb. Actually you pretty correctly pointed out what "Leserbrief" means. Thank you, too. And, this is a públic site and you´re free to join in every topic you want. At least, that is how I understand it.

Regards

Michael
