"Slibů nabídl hodně."

Translation: He offered a lot of promises.

[EinatAdar]

I'm not sure you can say someone offers a promise in English. It's understandable but the common phrase is to make a promise, which I think should be accepted.

[VladaFu]

It seems to be not too common, but possible, after a short search. In fact I can see some difference in the semantics, at least in Czech.

[EinatAdar]

What would the difference in Czech?
In English I can imagine someone saying that only in special circumstances as a rhetorical device. For example: We asked him for help but he offered a lot of promises instead. The verb offer is contrasted with the help that is not being offered.
However, if you just want to talk about someone making a promise you wouldn't use offer.

'Offered' seems to me to mean that the receiver of the promise distrusts the promise, while 'made' seems neutral or trusting of the promise

[EinatAdar]

DL seems to ignore paragraph marks for some reason. Sorry for the ugly lump of text.

[VladaFu]

It would be the same thing.

[EinatAdar]

So both are accepted?

[VladaFu]

What both?

[EinatAdar]

The question is - would 'he made a lot of promises' also accepted?
