Honestly I do not believe that a translation always loses the feeling of the original at all, it heavily depends on the context, your approach and how well you know the target language. Ofc, if you were to translate an idiom to a regular sentence (ex. in Swedish "Du har fått det om bakfoten" - "You're wrong"), yeah, more often than not the feeling will get lost there bc the eccense differs greatly between "You're wrong", and "You are mistaken".

Perfect memory - does it exist? And is it good for you?
honestlang replied to anna3101's topic in Language Learning
Hi, well that depends on what you define as "perfect memory". If you define it as remembering certain things quick enough for you to grasp them one after the other, then yeah I would say a large chunk of humans possess that, however if you were to define " perfect memory" as remembering everything quickly all the time, well from what I have seen most humans do not seem to possess that. But then again it does also depend on your daily routine. I hope my reply makes sense.
