    τρέχα γύρευε = go figure | good luck (doing sth) | who knows, goodness knows

    Maybe with a "good luck" in there? Good luck figuring out how to write ... Good luck making sense of how to write doing it your way. edit: ξεχασα για το "προηγούμενο." χωρις προηγούμενο, in this context ... doing it your way (without taking notes, which is clearly implied).

    απρόφταστος

    How about some likes, now. Do I have to beg for validation, a modicum of appreciation? What's wrong with you guys? You get likes for posting wrong answers, even. :)

    απρόφταστος

    Hey, I'm not done yet, there could be more possibilities .... just joking.;-) I can't access the link that nickel provided in that thread (that I get to via your "there's a forum" link), I keep getting .... "error 404 PAGE NOT FOUND!" Never mind.

    απρόφταστος

    I'm wondering if there's yet another possibility? (please dig harder, m_a_a_ put your back into it). Could απροφταστες imply πριν προλαβουμε να τις προφτασουμε,(νοερά) ... in turn implying the mysterious and elusive nature of the "window mistresses." (ειναι απιαστες/αφταστες)? ... να υποδηλώνει...

    Judging by the likes, mine must be the unpopular interpretation.? Think of it as an alternative, anyway.

    απρόφταστος

    It's a very reasonable interpretation, referring to the life ahead of them being cut short/being left incomplete/left undone/unfulfilled, as ma_a_a_ also suggested. And I saw this as a valid interpretation, too. But, there may be other interpretations. There's a suddenness/unexpectedness'...

    απρόφταστος

    "undone" as in unprepared, not ready? or "undone" referring to the life ahead of them being cut short/being left incomplete/left undone? I'm reading it as ... Off guard? By surprise? Unprepared, unexpectedly, unavoidably?

    Excluded for who she includes

    I agree with what you wrote. What I meant was .. With "include/inclusivity" you're already past the stage of accepting people and you're now looking for ways to foster an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone. You're proactively supporting people and making them feel valued and...

    Excluded for who she includes

    Η δυσκολία εδώ είναι ότι υπάρχει μια λεπτή διαφορά στο νόημα μεταξύ αποδέχομαι στα Ελληνικά και include στα Αγγλικά. Το αποδέχομαι : Νομίζω υπονοεί μια συνειδητή επιλογή να προσαρμόσουμε ή να μειώσουμε τις προσδοκίες μας προκειμένου να αποδεχόμαστε/αποδεχτούμε άτομα που μπορεί να θεωρούμε...

    Excluded for who she includes

    Καλύτερα να με περιφρονουν για τον πιοον εκτιμω, παρά να με εκτιμούν για το ποιον περιφρονω; (might be stretching it a bit?)

    Άνοψη, κάτοψη και δε συμμαζεύεται

    That sounds more like a topographical representation ... depicting the contours of the land - the lay/lie of the land? A land survey plan? For site plan, I would have expected something like .... σχέδιο τοποθεσίας;;

    Άνοψη, κάτοψη και δε συμμαζεύεται

    Αναρωτιέμαι αν αναφέρεται πιο συγκεκριμένα στο site coverage plan ... και αν υπάρχει διαφορά εδώ μεταξύ site plan και site coverage plan? Το site plan μπορεί να είναι ένα πιο ολοκληρωμένο σχέδιο, ενω το site coverage plan μπορει να εστιάζεται συγκεκριμένα στο τμήμα της τοποθεσίας που καλύπτεται...

    Gut feeling

    Καλό, νομιζω! (It's like I feel it/I sense it in my core being). Νομιζω το gut feeling έχει περίπου την ίδια έννοια με το gut instinct, πού ίσως συνηγορεί υπέρ την ερμηνεία του gut feeling = instinct, ένστικτο ; There are differences of course between instinct and gut instinct (and therefore...
