But in both cases, the translation is strange because in English it is about having a face and in Czech about not having it. | |

| Apr 26, 2017 at 20:52 | comment | added | user14111 | I don't know Czech but I'm reasonably competent in English. It seems to me that "While we don't have a face" means the same as "Till we have faces" but "Until we don't have a face" means the opposite. | |
