Ναι. Εξηγεί και τη φράση. “σχηματιζόμενη σε βάρος του δικογραφία” = assembled case file against him

Thank you, again, Palavra. I think I've got it (well, sort of). :) σχηματίζω = put together "as soon as the case file put together by the police against the 45/44 year old is forwarded to the public prosecutor"?

OK, thank you, Palavra. So it's referring to the case file here; it's more than an incident report or police report. Obviously, the phrase (σχηματίζω δικογραφία σε βάρος κάποιου) has an established meaning (which means that "σχηματίζω/create" won't take on the meaning of...

Ανακάλεσε; .. what was I thinking? It’s the right thread, anyway. :)

On a side note ... το "σχηματιζόμενη σε βάρος του δικογραφία" στα Αγγλικά; I'm guessing the police report drawn up (as in written up carefully - properly and formally prepared) against him (this 45, come 44 year old)? το "σχηματιζόμενη" μου φέρνει στο νου/ανακάλεσε στο νου μου και κάτι σαν...

Καλημέρα, ευχαριστώ .... ίσως και “enjoy the rest of the day”?

.. και η πλησιέστερη φράση που αποδίδει το ίδιο νόημα (περίπου) στα Αγγλικά (while we're at it); .. keep on rolling? keep it rolling? keep up the good work? have a good one? let the good times roll? hope things continue smoothly for you? keep up the good work The phrase keep up the good...

Όπως λένε οι Εγγλέζοι/ όπως λέει ο σοφός λαός :whistle: be slow to judge and quick to praise. Give people the benefit of the doubt (by all means keep your wits about you, of course).

(I'll blame my ποντιακό ipad)... "ορθότητα των λεγομένων του" "Ζαλίστηκα" (κυριολεκτικά)

Ο καθένας από τους διαφωνούντες προσπαθεί να πείσει κάποιον (αόρατον) τρίτο για την ορθότητα των λεγομένων του. Ζαλιστικά, αλλά διασκεδαστικά ταυτοχρόνως.

Note to self... (I hate leaving things/ideas half finished, sorry) :) Still guessing .... I think the noun I was looking for was “removal” (or “dropping”) - of something or someone from being (as in, from continuing to be) included in a list/team/group. — e.g., The Senator called for the...

Περίεργο να μην υπάρχει στα λεξικά - συνάντησα τη λέξη σήμερα (για πρώτη φορά). Just guessing? Maybe, as you say, it's the opposite of being integrated or included into a (select?) team/list/group (το αντίθετο της "ένταξης") So, perhaps, when someone was integrated or included it's because...

Ναι, εύστοχη η παρατήρησή σου (I went overboard with FFS). Tο "two bob's worth" είναι αυστραλέζικη έκφραση = Συνεισφορά μικρής αξίας (ακριβώς). Good post, SBE (=συνεισφορά μεγάλης αξίας).

My two bob's worth, Theseus, for what it's worth (two shillings?) "πια" here expresses a remonstration/an annoyance - it's like adding: "already/"for goodness sake"/or an exasperated groan/ ahhh! :scared:". So, "φτάνει πια" , for instance, would be "enough already/ enough for goodness sake (sort...

Καλό Σαββατοκύριακο! Thanks, Palavra (and Themi). Πρώτη φορά συναντώ τον όρο, αν και όντως υπάρχει (στην Αυστραλία το γνωρίζουμε ως term deposit). That's why I love this forum; there's always something new to be found/seen/discussed/learned.

Good explanation, Θέμη (thank you). :) Did you mean term deposits or fixed term deposits? -- I thought we'd better keep on the right side of the gods of the investment underworld.

(Μονολογώ τώρα)... σύμφωνα με ένα λεξικό: το "ψητό", μεταξύ άλλων, έχει και την σημασία του «όφελος, κέρδος» αρπάζουν το ψητό ... could mean "grab the spoils"/"grab the advantage" (i.e., these women take advantage of you/use you to their end)? Είναι και άλλες όπου τίποτα δεν λένε Μα κατ'...

Perhaps not so much about "getting to the point", as much as "getting" - as in, "grasping/"understanding the point/sensing what's important"? ...referring to those (the reticent amongst us) who say little, but nevertheless grasp what's essential/the pith/the gist of the matter/grasp the...

I read "χαϊδεύω" instead of "παιδεύω". Με χαϊδεύεις τόσα χρόνια had a nicer ring to it (I had my screen-size/zoom at 75%, if that's any excuse). Freudian slip or ho-etic licence? :blush: :confused:

I stand to be corrected.. It's like "you (can't) have your cake and eat it" ....( as the Duke said) to criticise someone for unreasonable behaviour ..I think μου here adds a "your" into it (it's used judgementally). "You have cellulite and (now) you wan't "your" rackets" "You've been pawing me...
