Theseus... Περιμένω λοιπόν με κομμένη την ανάσα σήμερα, Παρασκευή - ανησυχώ για το πότε θα απαντηθεί η απορία σου περί "υπαλληλικής ιδιότητας" - στην ακόμη αναπάντητη ανάρτηση σου. :) I didn't want to bump the thread.

I edited my post -- just prior to seeing nickel's post. Nickel has expounded with aplomb what I was getting at. ;)

The former as you suspect - it's the same person (the friend). If this is all we have to go by. The latter is possible, of course, if there's more to it (e.g., this third person if "he" exists - the referred to "εκείνος" - could have been mentioned in a prior sentence?).

Thanks, daeman. Yes, only in some cases as you say.

Δεν υπάρχει καμία ιδιωματική φράση με "μεγάλα λόγια" που θα πλησίαζε την έννοια εδώ; π.χ., μεγάλα λόγια δε λέγονται;

Καλημέρα και χρόνια πολλά, nickel. :) I know it doesn't correspond exactly, but it's commonly used, nevertheless : (each or the) responsible tenant or the tenant concerned? There would be instances, I think where it would work. re: the government of the day (nickel's suggestion), I think the...

I think what πυκνή η ζωή της αφής is alluding to here is - by attenuating all his other senses, eliminating extraneous thoughts and concentrating solely on touch - it means his sense of touch can come through dense and undiluted, livelier- so it packs much more of a punch, is more...

That's how I understood it too, more or less, Theseus. That his (whole) being was given over to the sense of touch - it's as if he repurposed his existence, turned off all his other senses, to crank it (touch) up to its full potential. Dedicated/abandoned himself fully to touch.

All good suggestions. I can't think of a suitable idiom, as is. But with a bit of licence - Everything, whether it be a mistake or an indiscretion counts as a debit on their moral ledger. Everything, whether it's a mistake or an indiscretion is a blot on their copybook. Mistake I think...

Δεν ξέρω αν υπάρχει το ισοδύναμο στα Ελληνικά - how would we translate "levelling out"or "levelling off" in Greek? Just curious, and I thought it might somehow help with "flattening". ​ If an aircraft levels off/out, it starts to travel horizontally rather than going up or down: The jet...

Thank you, cougr! In fact you deserve 1,000 retrospective and prospective "thank yous" for that (just in case I fail - or have failed - to notice or acknowledge any future or any other past acts of kindness on your part) . I didn't realise it at the time. :o

Thanks, dr 7. Not being congratulated at the time was almost a relief. You see, if I'm continually going to be stopped and congratulated for all the awesome things I do, and for every thing I achieve, I wouldn't have any time left for anything else. :)

Ναι, συγχαρητήρια... ahem, ahem! Αλλά ας σημειώσω εδώ με υπερηφάνεια ότι κατάφερα να περάσω απαρατήρητος από μπροστά σας με το χιλιοστό μου post, σαν τον κλέφτη τα μεσάνυχτα. Εδω χρειάζεται η τέχνη. :inno:

Ωραία τα είπες, m_a_a_. Το volatility του αυτιού μου (my native English ear) χαρακτηριζεται απο τρελές και αλλοπρόσαλλες διακυμάνσεις.

Το iPad συνεχίζει να συμπεριφέρεται "αλλοπρόσαλλα" και να με "εκνευρίζει" .... "μαρκέτας", πρώτη γραμμή ...,ο τόνος πηγαίνει/πέφτει στο "ε"!

Πέρασε από το νου και η "νευρικότητα" της μάρκετας. Jittery markets may lead to volatility ..may cause wild fluctuations (but not always - sometimes nervous traders may simply stop participating, become skittish and decide to sit on the sidelines - and the price goes sideways). Jittery does not...

Αν μπορούσα να επιβάλλω το Αγγλικό ιδίωμα στο Ελληνικό ... τότε θα πρότεινα κάτι σαν το "αλλοπρόσαλλες διακυμάνσεις" ή το "αλλοπρόσαλλη συμπεριφορά" (της αγοράς, κτλ); .. i.e., something that equates to "erratic fluctuations" or "erratic behaviour". Δεν ξέρω πόσο φυσικά ακούγονται (στα Ελληνικά...

Interesting discussion. Sensationalism I think is about creating perceptions, bending the truth if need be by playing to emotions, fear etc.. e.g., Trump's message - "we need to build a wall to keep the illegal immigrants = the criminals, the rapists, from invading." Grandstanding is like...

I just realised that we're not looking for a translation; that this was a Greek language query. Sorry! In any case, mine happened to be a query too. Feel free to delete this and my post just above.
