Thread: on your conscience

Как сказать по-английски "это полностью на твоей совести"?

It is entirely (wholly?) on your conscience?...

Is this a set phrase, used as a warning against doing something the speaker doesn't agree with?

If so, I would probably say:

"On your conscience be it!"

That phrase has some pretty archaic grammar though, so you might be as likely to hear something like:

"Let it be on your conscience then!"

"It will be on your conscience!"

No, it's just about something that is already happened

I.E.:

- We are dripping wet!
- It is ....., because you didn't take the umbrella!

I think I'd be most likely to put "your fault" in that space.

"It is on your conscience... " would be grammatically correct, but would be an odd thing to say in that context. I think "on your conscience..." has a more serious tone in English, it sounds weird if used in a trivial context.

IMO and all that.

Thank you.
But if I'd like to say it ironical? Is it ok as a joke?..

I know

You sould jump around ans say: "I told you so"

Yes, but "it is entirely your fault" would still work better, I think.

It's hard to explain, but "... on your conscience..." just sounds... somehow odd in that context, and if it came from a foreigner, it would most likely sound like a strained direct translation.

Оля, conscience это не совесть в русскоязычном понимании. Это больше мораль. Хотя я могу ошибаться.
It's all your fault в этой ситуации - самое лучшее.

Ok, thank you, scotcher!

P.S. Ramil, тебе тоже thank you!

Conscience can mean two things:
совесть - "to have a bad conscience"
сознание - "to lose conscince"

Um... What about 'consciousness' for «сознание»?
