See on õige! Firsthandtähendab, et olete esimene inimene, kes teavet annab või saab. Seda saab kasutada ka vaheldumisi directly(st otse). Sellises olukorras ütlete, et kuulsite teavet otse allikast. Näide: He gave a firsthand account of the battle. = He was directly involved in the battle and shared his experience with others. (Ta osales otseselt lahingus ja jagas oma kogemusi teistega) Näide: He's not a spectator and would rather participate so he can enjoy the action firsthand. = He doesn't want to watch the action. He wants to be directly involved in the action. (Ta ei taha midagi näha, ta tahab olla otseselt seotud)
