Inglese term

to pick up steps

Da Inglese a Italiano Altro Poesia e Prosa
I was surprised at how easily it came, the cursing. Like dancing, it was, when your feet pick up the steps of a new measure your ears have never heard and your head don't know, and they dance it till dawn.

imparano i passi

Chambers online

to pick something up 2 to learn or acquire (a habit, skill, language, etc) over a time.

I.e. you learn to curse as easily as your feet learn the steps of a new dance.

Inglese term (edited): pick up the steps

colgono i passi

Una proposta.

Peer comment(s):

neutral BdiL : è evidente che è una proposta (che sarebbe dovuta essere? tirare a indovinare?) e l'avrei votata, ma mi irrita quella "precisazione"! Oltre tutto "pick up" è anche letteralmente "raccogliere/cogliere"!!!
