candle [kǽndl] samostalnik
sveča; svetloba sveče


to burn the candle on both ends preveč delati
not fit to hold a candle to s.o. nevreden koga, ki mu ne sega niti do kolen
the game is not worth the candle ni vredno truda in stroškov
to hold a candle to the devil dajati potuho
with bell, book and candle kot se spodobi
not to hide candle under bushel rad poudarjati svoje zasluge
to sell by inch of candle prodajati na dražbi
