"Destiny is impossible to avoid". I'm not sure it's acceptable (infinitive).

Thanks Christina!

But why is that kind of sentence expressed at the infinitive? Is is current in Greek language to do that?

(sorry, my knowledge of Greek language is very close to 0, -apart from "kalimera/kalistera"!-)

"fygein/φυγείν" (to avoid) is the ancient greek infinitive (infinitive is basic element of ancient greek grammar). This phrase is in ancient greek, if this request is to be accepted the flag must change into ancient greek's flag. (although we use this phrase today regularly).

Thank you!
Yes, if it is translatable by a sentence that has a conjugated verb, request is acceptable. Moreover I don't think Latin uses infinitive here like Ancient Greek does.
I switched with the Ancient Greek flag then!
