	Question to Native English speakers « on: December 23, 2009, 12:17:08 pm »

Hello,

as you know English is no my native language. Hence I'm seeking some advice on what would be most accurate / idiomatic:

1. little'n big treasures online

2. small'n big treasures online

3. little'n big treasuries online

4. small'n big treasuries online

Thanks for your advice!

Regards,

Christian

I'd go with #1 along with treasures. Treasuries is more like government finances.
To me, little and big go together as I associate small with large.
Is big'n little treasures an option?

Hello Sue,

thanks a lot! That's also what I had thought but a German friend said it should be small & treasuries ...

Big'n little treasures is of course also an option ...

Or how about "For all your big'n little treasures" ?

Thanks again Sue!

Best wishes,

Christian

If this is a new online business, it needs to be more like a book title. Try "Treasures, Big and Small" instead. The online bit should be fairly obvious if that's where the treasures are located.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

I thought your line of "For all your big'n little treasures" sounded pretty good.

Or "For all your treasures big 'n small" maybe.

Or if this is some sort of advertisement for the forum how about something like

"Discover Thunting! The community for all your treasures big 'n small. Share your stories with us. Dig the excitement."

Who knows...

I liked the ones you and the other members came up with. Especially the "For treasures big 'n small."
