by marina 5 months, 1 week agoHi Marina, Isn't it the mix of drinks that makes her feel like vomiting, and Frédéric asks if it was the drop of raki on top of everything else that was simply too much and made her feel sick.
by Merlin57 5 months, 1 week agoOk.
by marina 5 months, 1 week agoThis make me think of "made you change your mind".; I find it difficult to link it with "makes you feel like vomiting".
Marina, because 'made the cup overflow' has the meaning of 'abundance, blessings, having more than enough to meet one's needs', I would suggest a different expression for this, such as:
Frédéric – Was it the drop of raki that tipped the scales?
