It's the way I'm interpreting the term and presenting it, so that it might hopefully make some sense in Greek, that's all. The way I understood Alexandra's opening post (the extract she's quoted): We go through life in a regular way, but occasionally, we experience some impactful moments that...

I'm confused? Αφου προκειται για γραμματικά ορθή μορφή (και περίμενα η χρήση της να παραμένει συνεπής σε διάφορα επίπεδα ελληνικής γλώσσας); Δεδομένου ότι τα επίσημα κείμενα αποσκοπούν στην ακρίβεια και τη σαφήνεια, και η χρήση της κατάλληλης κτητικής μορφής μπορεί να συμβάλλει σε αυτόν τον...

εμπειρία κατωφλιού; If we're describing a significant and transformative encounter that involves crossing a boundary or transition, "threshold experience" would have been a more fitting term? It conveys the idea of moving from one state to another, which aligns with the concept of profound...

The simple dehumidifiers (that are not plugged in) might also be called "παθητικοί αφυγραντήρες (as in passive dehumidifiers)?" Edit: (That's what I thought, anyway, but I could only find one reference of the Greek term - whereas you'll find plenty of "passive dehumidifiers")?

Νομίζω ο κύριος σκοπός του "suggestive" critical essay δεν ειναι να προσφέρει λύσεις (πάνω στο θέμα ενδιαφέροντος), αλλά να διεγείρει τη σκέψη και να εγείρει ερωτήματα. (Not to hit you between the eyes, but to gently gaze into them).

Yes, to all the above. It's just that, when encountering the term "guitar" or "bicycle" without any specifics or context, the mind more often than not (I'm thinking) gravitates towards the iconic image of an acoustic guitar or the traditional bicycle (that you pedal). Generally, speaking...

We've digressed with our bicycle discussion. I think the word "bicycle" generally refers to the traditional, non-electric, and non-motorized bike. There's probably no need to specify it as an acoustic bike or pushbike, etc. Similarly the term "guitar" typically refers to an acoustic guitar...

Who can really say with any certainty, cougr? The only thing I'm sure of, is being unsure. You might find this cycling forum's discussion interesting. https://www.bicycles.net.au/forums/viewtopic.php?t=95454, look for Scott C's post. Scott C "Having a look through the old Australian newspapers...

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»
