τι εστί βερίκοκο = what is what

[nickel]

Σκέφτηκα να περιμένω να γράψει και τρίτο άρθρο ο Σαραντάκος για την έκφραση «Τι εστί βερίκοκο», αλλά δεν πρόκειται να φλυαρήσω.

Τι εστί βερίκοκο
Τι εστί βερίκοκο λοιπόν

Πρόταση για το αγγλικό: what's what
I'll show him what's what.

To give/show/teach/get/gain (some or some real) perspective and variations thereof.

Eg. I'll show you perspective!
that will give them some perspective
then they might gain some real perspective
they've got no perspective (δεν γνωρίζουν τι εστί βερίκοκο)

“You want perspective? I'll show you perspective!”

Let's restate it.

Γνωρίζεις τι εστί βερίκοκο; - do you know/understand what it's like to be in his/her/their shoes?
- have you put yourself in their/someone else's shoes?

where "someone else" may be a person you're (too quickly) passing judgement on?
