Talk:fine


 * 
 * I've removed this def.


 * 1) (ironic) Not at all good.
 * 2) * That's another fine mess you've gotten us into!
 * It's not really part of the definition that the term can be used ironically; it's simply the context that makes it ironic. That is to say, in the example sentence, fine does not mean "terrible", it still means "excellent", but in an ironic context.

Fine: Thorough (eng)
Can "fine" be used to mean "thorough" in english. I've heard it used this way (I'm a native) and I was planning to translate fine as "thorough" for translation into Latin, but this page seems to contradict that. 96.225.89.127 00:14, 26 January 2016 (UTC) (I'm also Qwed117, I just rarely sign in)
