Russian term

выйти на прибыль

Russian to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) Инвестиции
Не могу понять, как передать именно это значение.

Многие наши инвесторы уже вышли на прибыль.

Made profit, наверное, имеет значение одноразового действия? А здесь смысл в том что они начали получать прибыль и продолжают ее получать

4 +3 start making profit

4 +1 they have started to make profits
4 +1 break even / move into the black
4 to be in the profit zone
4 have stepped over the profitability threshold

Irina Barinova Dec 16, 2015:
Ravindra Godbole My translation delivers both the meaning and connotation. Your translation is more like a definition.

In any case, my congrats!
Ravindra Godbole Dec 16, 2015:
Irina- your translation seems to word to word. I am not a native Russian.
Irina Barinova Dec 16, 2015:
Ravindra Godbole Just check Google or Yahoo to make sure “move into profit” (move back into ptofit, move into operational profit, etc.) is succesfully used. Your translation is equivalent to “начать получать прибыль”. It lacks the stylistic nuance.
Ravindra Godbole Dec 16, 2015:
I think my translation is shorter,crisp and simpler. That is the point than yours which is longer.
Ilan Rubin (X) Dec 16, 2015:
2 Ravindra: Usually you don't "move into profit", agreed. BUT - the big question is why did you take my answer, change the tense, change plural to singular, and then repropose it as your own???
Ravindra Godbole Dec 16, 2015:
no body moves in to profit. It is not a vehicle or something like that . One makes a profit.
Irina Barinova Dec 14, 2015:
ILAN RUBIN А Вы шутник, однако ))) Вам тоже удачи!))
Lina Nicolova Dec 13, 2015:

If you're serious about this, I'm almost tempted to vote for you.
But that tax exemption wouldn't be just for ROSSIYA, would it?
Ilan Rubin (X) Dec 13, 2015:
Wow, I've never been in a vote in Kudoz before So - if I win I promise to campaign for income tax on translators to be abolished!
beermatt Dec 13, 2015:
soglasen, Irina! no eto delo zakazchika, kakoy immeno variant emu nravitsya.
Irina Barinova Dec 13, 2015:
Вариантов может быть много, на самом деле. Имхо, чем проще и ближе к оригиналу, тем лучше. Удачи!
beermatt Dec 13, 2015:
You're welcome! I'm "still awake"...
Ирина Петрова (asker) Dec 13, 2015:
Yes, that's simple, it seemed to me that the answer was evident but my head refused to formulate it. May be, the sunday morning is the reason. :) Thank you!
beermatt Dec 13, 2015:
something like "are already in the profit zone"

pretty simple, I think.
