Hi Marko
In the context of the test sentence, 'work (itself) free' basically means 'become unattached'. . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

Hi Torsten
I would like to suggest that if individual posts are moved, the responses to those posts should be moved with them.
Thanks. . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

I would like if I could say now that I understand, but I don't. My vocabulary is a little "limited". Can you translate it in a simpler way? Thank you. |
