this is the only translation that seems to make any sense here (to me)
hope it gives some thought.

I feel I must make a statement here with reference to Google.
It seems the majority of subscribers to this.very well meaning and informative, site are under the misapprehension that "google" is the harbinger of all things proper in the English language. This is not so, please remember that "google" is a conglomeration of linguistic mismatches which; by the very nature of poorly equipped enquirers, produces badly (if not "un-english") results.
We should not depend upon search engine results to give us a definative English result. By definition what we will receive is a result based upon many errors and misinformations.
Please bear in mind, as with all things technological, put in nonsense - get nonsense out.
I hope this puts an end to the "almighty all knowing" of the search engine but I also know it will not - such is progress.

Since when were google references "gospel" see above. What rule do you mean? I offer a solution, you seem to denegrate all I offer

Kim Metzger
: With Johanna. Where did "fit" or "able" come from? And it's "its" or his or her.

fit and able are translations to "fit " the sentence, as for "its" you are being pedantic. a simple typo.
