# great crushing
The abstract noun "crushing" can be translated as a verb. You may need to make explicit who is crushed and who does the crushing. Alternate translation: "the enemy will crush you" or "the enemy will completely destroy you" ([[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
