Title	you want me to throw my grandparents into the street
Translation English Translated by Tritonio	Target language: English - "You want me", I tell him, "to throw my grandparents into the street so that I can move into their little studio?" I tell him... - In the end they matched him with a girl with lots of wealth, houses... estates... I don't remember exactly... - He was crying during our date... after all those years... Sure, I was happy to meet him again... but, then, he seemed so petty with all those things he said...
Remarks about the translation	"I don't remember exactly...": "Exactly" isn't in the Greek text but I think it's implied. "he seemed so petty": This is kind of a free translation. She doesn't use "seem", she used "was" but I think, based on the end of the sentence that she means that he looked petty based on what he was saying. "Petty" might not be the best translation of "Î»Î¯Î³Î¿Ï‚" but it's the closest I could get. "Î»Î¯Î³Î¿Ï‚" when characterizing a person, is the oposite of "great". So he is the complete opposite of a great person.

	Tritonio Number of messages: 44	I did look whether it was "with" or "to" and I found someone using "to" so I thought it was correct. It is not: http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/match Thanks User10 for the help. =)
