I smell of sweat

Question

I came across this sentence in one of the quizes. It is translated as: "Je sens la transpiration"How does it change if I mean to say "I smell sweat" like somebody else's sweat; not mine.

Accepted Answer

Hi Mouhammad, 
Just to add to the other answers.
It might be safer to say something like -
Ça sent la transpiration = It smells of sweat 
which means
you can smell sweat
but you are not sure where it is coming from.
Hope that helps!

Hi Mouhammad,How about      "Je sens la sueur de quelqu'un" ?Jim

Answer

Short answer is, as Jim already suggests: there's no difference. I smell of sweat and I smell sweat are both je sens la transpiration. But you'd use a slightly different way to express one or the other, if it isn't already clear by context (as per Jim's suggestion).
