Re: Question for Selena

[selenak]

Literally, that's "otherwise, it's no good" or "otherwise, it's not good enough," but given the context, would "otherwise, we're in trouble" be okay? I feel like it sounds more fluent*, but I just want to check that it's not *too* loose of a translation?

No, it isn't. It captures what is meant in a way that (non native speaker that I am) I think sounds more natural in English.

Perfect, thanks! The "it's no good" I was using was bothering me because it didn't sound natural, exactly.
