Short and not simple this week:
instead of the half-Slovenglish “how it would be like…,” write “what it would be like to…”
NOT: “I wonder how it would be like to climb Everest.”
BUT: “I wonder WHAT it would be like to climb Everest.”
The Google test:
1) “how it would be like to” – c. 2 million hits (Slovenia’s population)
2) “what it would be like to” – c. 93 million hits (Germany and Greece’s population combined)
