I just found this as well. Lemma: διακριτικός Translation: discreet; tactful; diplomatic; subtle; prudent ...Cultural Context Highly valued in Greek social interactions, especially in professional and family contexts. Being διακριτικός is considered a mark of good upbringing and social...

The closest equivalent I can think of in Greek, in the sense of being more careful, tactful and not too overt, is "διακριτικός". Its direct translation is "discreet" but given the context, I think that in this case it suffices as a translation for "subtle". διακριτικός, -η, -ο 2. που φέρεται...

I'm supposing you mean Piece of pure Sublimity, or Splendour, perhaps. A technical breakdown as masterful and sublime as the performance itself (or at least how one might imagine it to have been).😊

Εκτός από το Ευαγγέλιο. Συζητούσαμε τη λέξη με κάποιους παπάδες, γι' αυτό και την ανέφερα.😊

Αφυπνώ - σημαίνει και ξυπνώ και αποκοιμιέμαι.

"Εδώ και μερικά χρόνια τα μέσα ενημέρωσης τον αποκαλούσαν «Άρχοντα των δακτυλιδιών». Μόλις φέτος το διόρθωσαν/ άλλαξαν οι περισσότεροι.

Και εγώ δεν βλέπω τον λόγο. Μεταφραστική αδεία, ίσως.

I'm hoping that what you had in mind ends in α. 😁 With regards to "spirited driving", on several occasions I have come across the term "σβέλτη οδήγηση" and have gained the impression that most likely, this is what Greeks use when referring to it.

With "spicy", informal, automotive/ enthusiast slang. Twenty years ago I would have said the same for "spirited" but given the proliferation of its use by automotive journalists and its frequent appearance in automotive journals and professional reviews, I'd say that it has graduated to mildly...

The Ζοωηρός was actually my mistake and I was just owning up to it.😊

Ζωηρός. Now there's a lapsus clavis for you.🙃
