I didn't have enough time to incorporate this in my post, immediately above. Yes, I think I prefer increased here and I will end up using it! Thank you, nickel! They had the tool in their possession, which meant their chances of escape were (now) greatly increased; but by the same token...

Σας ευχαριστώ όλους. Επειδή υπάρχουν πολλές αποδεκτές επιλογές, δεν είναι καθόλου εύκολο. Το μόνο που έχω αποκλείσει οριστικά είναι το "chances of escaping" - συμφωνώ με τον nickel - χρειάζεται ένα αντικείμενο για να ολοκληρωθεί - i.e., their chances of escaping "something" .. e.g., their...

correction - presumably, it would allow them to cut through (not will) .. and υπέρ του enhance. (nudge, nudge, wink, wink .. say no more). ;)

Also, (this just occurred to me) which one gets the nod? Their chances of escape were greatly improved .? or Their chances of escape would be greatly improved ...?

Καλημέρα. Ποιο προτιμάτε; Their chances of escape were greatly improved by this tiny but invaluable tool. or.. Their chances of escape were greatly enhanced by this tiny but invaluable tool. The tool here refers to a pair of side-cutters (which was/were smuggled in) .. which would help the...

ή.. το όραμα δημιουργεί το όχημα;

She found it years ago, in fact, but she had lied to Marianthi (she told her, say a minute earlier, that the baby wasn't wearing one). "Had found" is the right tense - but "did find" sounds better with "indeed", here. Do you go with what sounds better? But the question that was posed by...

Σας ευχαριστώ, berdardina και nickel. Ήθελα απλά να ξέρω αν χρησιμοποιούσα τα κόμματα σωστά, και αν ήταν στις σωστές τους θέσεις. I'm still reworking sentences in the book (this one still needed reworking). Αλλά, εν πάση περιπτώσει, έχετε επαναδιατυπώσει την πρόταση μου, και σε απομόνωση...

Help! - I'm still confused with the commas. Have I placed the commas in the right position? I was tempted to put commas around "however", but I think it reads better, this way, with just one. No comma before "which", right? Stefania got up and offered Marianthi a glass of water, when she saw...

Σημασία έχει η σημασία. :whistle:

Thanks, nickel and cougr. I just wanted to avoid a direct reference to God, Holy Mary etc.. and I didn't think it equated to these expressions. I agree with "pray it be", without the "please" and that was what I preferred and first google searched, but it didn't produce many results. So, in the...

That's the way I would have interpreted it too, nickel, if we only had "the world against Don" to go by (if we had no further information). You might even think he had a persecution complex just based on that. But in this instance, we are also told that Don has got rid of Duck (or squeezed him...

Correction - Duck would like to hit him .. not will like to hit him (that's poor English - I wasn't thinking).

Δεν είναι ξεκάθαρο, σωστά! I've also edited my previous post and added a further explanation. Εγώ θα έλεγα, τώρα προστέθηκε κι άλλος ένας σ' αυτούς που δεν χωνεύει τον Ντον (δηλαδή το αντίθετο!).

Hi, Alexandra. The way I've interpreted it is - Peggy: So what? Don didn't like him. It's the world against Don and now it's someone else. Peggy I think is saying here that the whole world (or everyone) holds a grudge against Don - so it's no big deal (as far as Don is concerned) that one...

I was going to use it in place of let's say, "please God let it be" ... just as a general supplication to a higher power, without bringing deities into it.

I went to use this expression, but before doing so I thought I should check google first and to my surprise there were only 5 google results. Is anyone else surprised with this? Actually using quotation marks brings up 34,000 results, so my bad. :o Please (..pray it be) delete my post! ...

Αυτή η συζήτηση μου θύμισε μια συναυλία που είχα την ατυχία να παρακολουθήσω (ή μάλλον, να ακούσω) στη Μελβούρνη, σε ένα κλειστό χώρο του τένις, όπου η μουσική ήταν τόσο δυνατή που δεν κατάφερνα να διακρίνω τις νότες που έβγαιναν από τις κιθάρες, ούτε τη φωνή του τραγουδιστή. Είχα την...

Ένα ερώτημα - Θα μπορούσαν αυτοί οι άνθρωποι που ανήκουν πιο κάτω από την εργατική τάξη να αναφέρονται ως "the socially excluded", οι κοινωνικά αποκλεισμένοι; .. αυτοί που για οποιονδήποτε λόγο έχουν χάσει τις ευκαιρίες που συνήθως παρέχονται στους υπόλοιπους; Απλά ρωτάω .. (or are the "socially...

Υπάρχει κι αυτό ... the underclass. (It sounded promising - but it might be a bit vague and too American, going by the wiki article, below?). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underclass ?
