κομμένη και ραμμένη
by Irene Droppert - Tuesday, 15 January 2013, 07:35 AM
 
Hello,
I'm trying to translate the following sentence in Dutch:
Κομμένη και ραμμένη, εσύ την έκανες τη ζημιά και εσύ θα πληρώσεις.
and I don't know exactly what the first part means.

I found somewhere that is means: bespoke or tailored, but in the context of the sentence it propbably means something else.

Thank in advance for your help

  Yes, this phrase means "tailored for someone". Could you give a bit more of context of this sentence?

  Hi Nick, Thanks for your reply,

I don't know more.
I looked at the verb «κόβω» at
http://www.greek-language.gr/greekLang/modern_greek/tools/lexica/,
just to see how many meanings the passive «κόβομαι» had.

Best regards
Irene

Hi Irene. Κοννεμη και ραμμενη means tailor made. Here it has a figurative meaning of a perfectly suited situation as the sentence says: You've caused the damage and you'll pay for it.
