Ναι, καλό, Αλεξάνδρα! Along the lines of my version 2 to a small degree (if I'm going to give myself any credit), but I missed the racist dig at himself/the mexicans - and I think you have that part right.

Νομίζω αυτό το "would actually make her my see-star" σημαίνει ένα από τα ακόλουθα δύο πράγματα: 1. με τη πώληση της στη δουλεία, θα γινόταν πραγματικά η αδελφή του (με την έννοια ότι θα ταυτιζόταν μαζί του), αφού ο ίδιος ένιωθε ότι πωλήθηκε (ή εξαναγκάστηκε να μπει) στη «δουλεία» (με βάση το...

There may be another possibility, Alexandra? You can just reject it - no need to reply here, of course. Maybe he felt that he had effectively "sold" himself into "slavery", by relinquishing the will to decide for himself (to others, who had led him down the wrong path). ... and by selling his...

..."(εξάλλου) αυτό δείχνει ότι είναι "η α-δερ-φή μου!".

ή ... ή ίσως την πούλησα στους εμπόρους λευκής σάρκας, πράγμα που δείχνει ότι είναι (πραγματικά) η α-δερ-φή μου; (αδερφή μου = "ιδιοκτησία" μου - ο,τι θέλω την κάνω - "είναι του χεριού μου", όπως ανέφερε ο nickel).

Thanks, dr7 and Alexandra. Κάτι σαν το "I'll butcher all, and take a stab at everything" έχει ένα παραλληλισμό, νομίζω; to butcher = tο bungle, botch take a stab at something = make an attempt (even when one is not equal to the challenge/task).

just adding ...(it just came to me, sorry). Με την ευκαιρία της αναβίωσης του νήματος ... δεν ξέρω αν περιέχει και την έννοια: I take no prisoners. take no prisoners Definitions (informal) to be ruthlessly uncompromising and resolute in one's actions

αποστολή/παροχή πληροφορίας θέσης από (GPS-enabled) κινητό τηλέφωνο σε/στον (αιτούντα) πύργο; my subtitle-unfriendly wild guess for the week

Sorry this is in English. I sent this as a pm to oliver_twisted a couple of days ago. If someone could please delete my above 2 posts. [Nickel says: Posts deleted as per your request.] "I saw something on the internet, I'm not sure if it's relevant - it was referring to a pricing schedule that...

Thank you, Palavra. Very well expressed and explained - I now have it down pat. Δηλαδή, μόνο οι Έλληνες του εξωτερικού βαδίζουν με το σταυρό στο χέρι. :) Ή εντιμότητα μας δεν μετριέται - it's "off the scale" - cougr can vouch for that. :inno:

Σας ευχαριστώ, nickel και Palavra. Τουλάχιστον τώρα κατάλαβα περί τίνος πρόκειται. :) It's an unpermitted/illegal something or other.

re: walkout basement (and dug-out basement entrance) - home design photos. http://www.houzz.com/dug-out-basement-entrance

Δεν ξέρω αν ταιριάζει και το dug-out basement; I'm not sure how far this project goes, is it just to create a basement from a crawl space? - but if it extends to creating a room or apartment: Για αυτό έχουμε το converted basement (which is an apartment or room that's been created from a...

or just to round this thread off eight percentage points and fifty-five one-hundredths of a percentage point

I just posted the same, above, nickel! :huh: So it must be right.

Ομελέτα χωριάτικη, ίσως, για το boorish omelette; φαγώσιμο χόρτο του βουνού .. for grass hill?

Συμφωνώ με τον nickel - καλό μου ακούγεται με το "on". Και η εκδοχή του nickel είναι πολύ καλή (με το "into"). Good to hear from Philip - he's spot on, too - and it sounds natural and less stilted. :) Here's another way, Palavra, using "at" (and taking the less formal route): Take a right at...

Hi, cougr. I was just endorsing your suggestion of turning "into" over turning "in" (in regard to entering a street) - and included "onto" in the discussion. I don't disagree with the other choices (at/on). However, we also need to consider - if you make a left turn "on" or "in" a street, it...

... oops, interection = intersection (not a Freudian slip) A U-Turn "at" the intersection (or even "on" the bridge?) would be grammatically correct, but a traffic violation, of course. ;)
