"Hledám tu věc, protože ji potřebuju."

Translation: I am looking for the thing because I need it.

[mattvick]

I translated this as "i am looking for that thing because I need her", which was accepted. However that answer shouldn't be accepted as it doesn't make sense in English

[garpike]

'Why are you looking for the scrap of paper on which she wrote her new telephone number?' 'I am looking for that thing because I need her'.
Could this sentence work this way in Czech? Or can 'ji' only refer back to 'věc' even in such a context?

[VladaFu]

or this

[VladaFu]

You are looking for that thing becaise you need your wife who told you to find it...

[Vladao]

Domnívám se , že "potřebuji" je vhodnější . . .

[CountryCatSmith]

Proč je to: 'tu' věc a ne, 'ta' věc? Jaký je důvod?

[VladaFu]

accusative case

[NinaOBel]

Why hledam cannot be translated as seek?

[VladaFu]

Added. But we had only one report and it said "seek for" and that is incorrect.

[stan602994]

Since o need it should be avcepted not only because ....

[VladaFu]

Since, as and for added.

[kristapele]

Také si myslím, že potřebuji by mělo být uznáno. Je to spisovné

[VladaFu]

Tohle je překlad do angličtiny, v opačném směru samozřejmě uznané je.
