"Je jette juste un petit coup d'œil et je reviens."

Translation: I'm just taking a little look, and I'm coming back.

A little look sound akward. It should be a quick look.

[joel.fr]

Yep, so irritating.

[ShubhamSurf]

"a little peep", perhaps would sound nice.

I'm confused by the use of the verb jeter here, could someone please explain? Merci beaucoup

[Rlando]

It's idiomatic. Maybe "to cast a glance" would be a more literal idiomatic translation for "jeter un coup d'œil"? One of the meanings of "to cast" is also "to throw".

Why is 'I just take a little look and i come back' wrong?

[2014Freeze]

Very poor question with different translations

[Uma853398]

One quick look...sounds better in English

I'm just taking a glance and I'm coming back. Not accepted & reported.

[pbt.hodges]

I'm just having a quick look and I'm coming back was accepted

[V3WW9ody]

I wrote "giving" instead of "taking", and it wasn't accepted.

[V3WW9ody]

"I am just giving a little peek and I am coming back." not accepted. It's so idiomatic that it's hard to translate it, although we understand the meaning.

[AdelaDvila]

Why can't it be: "I take a little look and I come back"? It would STILL be Correct, wouldn't it???
