Rendition

1. Even if it may sound quite formal, does this sentence make sense:



"It takes many years to acquire a totally flawless rendition in another language."




2. In case the former sentence makes sense, what would be other examples in which you use the term 'rendition'?

  

Top answer

Christine Christie It takes many years to acquire a totally flawless rendition in another language. I think you're talking about acquiring fluency in another language (or possibly pronunciation ). That's not a rendition.

  • Christine Christie It takes many years to acquire a totally flawless rendition in another language.
  • I think you're talking about acquiring fluency in another language (or possibly pronunciation ).
  • That's not a rendition.
  • On the other hand, if you are translating a poem from one language to another, you are rendering the poem into that language, and the result is your rendition of the poem.
  • So you can say something like this: It took me many months to create a totally flawless rendition of this poem into English .
