    • Felicitari, Sorin, foarte bine!
      Sa fim atenti la logica ultimei propozitii – cum sa am grija de fratele meu daca el mereu a fost responsabil si el m-a invatat pe mine ….? 🙂

    • Felicitari pentru toata munca ta, Adina!
      Hai sa vedem cum e logic aici:
      3 – nu cred ca am cum sa caut fizic, efectiv, un zgomot, poate sa caut sursa lui…pot cerceta un zgomot mai degraba…zic 🙂
      7 – iti cauti fratii daca sunt cu tine?
      8 – zice ca fratele a fost mereu responsabil si ca el m-a invatat pe mine, deci nu e cazul sa mai am eu grija de el

    • Buna Antoaneta! Si felicitari pentru ca mereu lucrezi si postezi 🙂

      2 – cand aprinzi luminile zici “turn on”
      6 – mai degraba sa poata iesi din toaleta, avand in vedere ca se pregateste aterizarea
      8 – imi caut fratele…m-a invatat sa ma uit cu admiratie la mine insumi….nu prea are sens

    • Hei, Steliana!
      Bine ai venit cu rezolvarile tale!

      3 – te uiti admirativ la un zgomot? Cercetezi cheile?
      8 – “look out for” daca ar fi sa am grija de frate, dar oricum zice ca el mereu a fost responsabil, deci nici logic nu s-ar potrivi
