"Sűrű, de jó!"

Translation: Dense, but good!

[dvanclev]

This sentence could be talking about food, right? But if I saw the English translation without context I'd think it was about a book. Could you use sűrű to talk about a dense book, too?

[RyagonIV]

Arany!

[AnCatDubh]

Your average politician describing your average voter

[ZsofinSheehy]

Could this be "thick" as well?

[vvsey]

Talking about a person? :)
Yes, "sűrű" can be translated as both "dense" and "thick". But only in the density sense.
For thickness that can be measured with a ruler, use "vastag".

[dqJacO]

Thick as in viscous, as well, like a thick liquid.

[ZsofinSheehy]

Yes that is more what I was thinking. Like a thick sauce.

[Phil_57]

What about a person?

[RobertEddy]

"de jo" sounds a bit like "da - yo" -- is there a bit of elision I am hearing here?

[RyagonIV]

I don't hear anything like that. But it might be. You can never really isolate all the sounds you speak. :)

[Lili920420]

If it is a liquid, then 'thick' is the correct answer in English.
'Dense' is equivalent to 'stupid', or refers to a forest, among other things.

The sentence is hard to relate to a realistic scenario. If suru has quite a precise meaning, as vvsey indicates, then we are really talking about fog, cloud or forests.

If suru can be used to describe liquids then, yes, "thick" or "viscous" would be the more appropriate translations in English: thick perhaps better describing a sauce and viscous some kind of chemical or potion.

[JohnWeber786406]

Sűrű should be highlighted; it is a new word.

[Nick337182]

I have now discovered suru can be used to describe a timetable frequnecy: as in "very frequent" departures on a bus or tram.
