Finnish-English translations for saarnata

preachWe should not simply preach healthy living and healthy nutrition. Emme saisi vain saarnata terveistä elintavoista ja terveellisestä ravinnosta. If we cannot even do it in our own Parliament, we should not preach to others. Jos emme parlamentissa pysty tähän, meidän ei myöskään pitäisi saarnata muille. As a result, they should stop claiming that they can preach to the rest of the world. Tämän vuoksi parlamentin olisi lakattava väittämästä, että se voi saarnata koko muulle maailmalle.
get on someone's caseHis boss was always getting on his case about his standards of dress, even though he worked well and seldom left the back room.

pontificate
us
The European Union is an economic powerhouse but we are not in a position to pontificate when it comes to our treatment of refugees. Euroopan unioni on taloudellinen voimakeskus, mutta emme ole siinä asemassa, että voisimme saarnata, kun on kyseessä pakolaisten kohtelu. It is all very well for Parliament or the Council to pontificate about better regulation, so long as, when it comes to amendments, we ourselves look at the impact of those amendments. Parlamentti ja neuvosto voivat aivan hyvin saarnata sääntelyn parantamisesta niin kauan kuin me itse tarkastelemme muutosten vaikutuksia.
