Στην Αυστραλία, είχαμε τον όρο "pushbike" στη φαρέτρα μας (και τον χρησιμοποιούμε) εδώ και χρόνια. Είχαμε, δηλαδή, την προνοητικότητα (αστειεύομαι, βέβαια) να επινοησουμε αυτό τον αρκετά καταλληλο ρετρονύμιο εκ των προτέρων. pushbike ... (φαντάζομαι) δεδομένου ότι σπρώχνεις/πιέζεις τα...

stock (noun) 1. Goods or merchandise kept for sale by a business, or a supply of something available for use or consumption: Example: The supermarket's stock of canned goods was running low due to high demand. 2. Livestock or simply stock; farm animals bred and raised for agricultural...

Είναι και αυτό... "Steering wheel lash. The condition in which the steering wheel may be turned through some part of a revolution without associated movement of the front wheels." You can also have/receive "lashings of lashes." Ouch! Lashings of something means a large quantity or amount of it.

Okay, so fundamental niche is the environmental space that a species would occupy in the absence of interspecific competion, and it refers to the environmental conditions under which a species can survive and reproduce "based on its physiological capabilities and adaptations." (I just added the...

Νομίζω ο όρος "physiological niche" είναι εννοιολογικά πιο κοντά στη "πραγματοποιημένη ή "πραγματική" οικοθέση;" (=realised niche), δηλαδή υποσύνολο τού "fundamental niche" (which is a wider and less specific term). Biology definition: Realized niche is the part of a fundamental niche that an...

Νομίζω ο σωστός χρόνος είναι ... "που μεταδόθηκε (και) στην Αθήνα."

Yes, SBE. I was about to post the following, and I noticed and agree with your above post. What's not being specified or rather being enumerated or established here is the actual number (it is not important or is of no consequence) - so, πλείστων "όσων" = numerous "however many" = numerous...

Και για το «ποικίλων όσων» - μεγάλη και ποικίλη γκάμα. Phew! A big thanks to you both.

So, a heck of a lot of precious metals, a shipload (a polite euphemism for a similar but more profane expression) ... για το "πλείστοι όσοι/πλείστων όσων " (if it was used instead in the sentence) . Got it!

Και στα αγγλικα, ποικιλων οσων = many and varied? Many and diverse? πολλα και διαφορα; ... a great and diverse range (of precious metals)? ... μεγάλη και ποικίλη γκάμα; Or does it mean many different types (of precious metals)?

... I'm guessing the equivalent in English of "ποικίλων όσων" is "various whatever/whichever"? They're "precious metals" notionally and metaphorically speaking (it represents something invaluable and that's all we need to know) ... and that what's important is that it's an inexhaustible...

Στην ακόλουθη πρόταση, τι ρόλο παίζει το "όσων"; Για «αδαπάνητο ορυχείο ποικίλων "όσων" πολύτιμων μετάλλων, που όσο περισσότερο το εξερευνείς, τόσο αποκαλύπτεται ο κρυμμένος πνευματικός θησαυρός του»

εταιροδημότης ... ακούγεται και σαν κακη/μηχανική μεταφραση του "corporate citizen."

Αυτό που προσπάθησα να επισημάνω με ειρωνικό τρόπο (απετυχα παταγωδως απο ο,τι φαινεται) είναι το λάθος του wordhippo, αφού το παραπαιουσα απεχει πολυ απο το beguiling, έτσι δεν είναι;

Εκανα μεγάλο λάθος. Νόμιζα ότι μια "παραπαίουσα οικονομία" ήταν αυτή πού κινδυνεύει να καταρρεύσει, που βρίσκεται σε αστάθεια. (Σύμφωνα με το wordhippo είναι αυτή που μας μαγεύει - η "μαγευτικη οικονομια")...

User What is filotomy? ChatGPT I'm sorry, but I'm unable to find a definition or explanation for the word "filotomy" in any of my dictionaries or reference materials. It is possible that this is a misspelling or a rare or obscure term. Could you please provide more context or clarify what you...

Does this have to do with child exploitation and the mistreatment of children? Sounds like it does. η ψυχή ξεχνουδίζει ... losing the soft "down" or "fuzz" might metaphorically suggest the delicacy and vulnerability of children and their innocence or purity being easily lost or damaged?

If you're using the word 'single" here to highlight cougr's unique or exceptional role in enabling my over-analysing behaviour, and to emphasise that he stands out as being by far my worst enabler (compared to others) - then, yes.

I was going to stop earlier, post #21, but then I started responding to cougr.

But, in the salt example "single" may serve to emphasise that salt is the standout flavour enhancer, not just the most important, if this makes any sense. Being the single most important may emphasise that nothing else comes close to salt, as a flavour enhancer.
