Ciao,

vorrei chiedervi un consiglio su questa frase;

Il fiume scorre con forte velocità, diventando così un canale intrecciato.

The river's flow is characterized by high velocity, thus turning into a braided channel.

Grazie mille

 

[You little ripper!]

The flow velocity of the river is high, turning it into a braided channel.

Spiritoso, I haven't translated the 'così' in that sentence because it sounds better without it and doesn't really alter the meaning of the sentence. Is it important to you?

Ciao,

no va bene così, anche perchè il senso è quello!

Grazie mille

"Braided" seems to me to be a slightly unusual word to use in this context. I was thinking of something like:

The rapid flow of the river {leads it into / creates} a turbulent course.

Lazz, "braided channel" is unusual, but the terminology is used in this context.

Lazz, "braided channel" is unusual, but the terminology is used in this context.

In fact, it seems to be used quite widely - 27,000 references. I hadn't heard it before, but I stand corrected.

Thank you both for your interest in helping me once again with such terminolgy!

As you saw, that is the unusual word I am obliged to use, just like many others related to geology/ fluvial systems that I hadn't heard before in my life!

Ciao
