| iriniNumber of messages: 849 | Îα Ïωτήσω, μήπως Ï€ÏÎπει να Ï€ÏοσθÎσουμε και το "γνώθι σαυτόν" ως μετάφÏαση του "Conhece A Ti Mesmo"; |

| | ΜποÏεί, αλλά δεν πιστεÏω να είναι τίποτα το γνώστό εδώ. Και είναι Ïήμα - δεν είναι ουσιαστικό. It's "Know yourself", not "self-knowledge". |

| iriniNumber of messages: 849 | α) το γνώθι σαυτόν (gnothi seauton) είναι νομίζω αÏκετά γνωστό σε όλον τον κόσμο.
β) μα το γνώθι σαυτόν δεν είναι ουσιαστικό Σημαίνει να ξÎÏεις τον ίδιο τον εαυτό σου. |

| | Nossa, eu agradeço a preocupação, sério de verdade, quanto ao meu pedido, mas eu não falo grego, então eu não entendi...só entendi que há uma discordância...Por favor, será que tem como me explicar?
Valeu, muito obrigado... |

| | The question was whether to use an older, but very well known expression for "Know thyself". I now agree with irini that we should do that, so I changed my translation to the one she suggested. |

| | Kafetzou, why not ελεÏθεÏο πνεÏμα (free spirit)?
ΕλεÏθεÏη ψυχή is just "free soul".
( Γνώθι σ’αυτόν or γνώθι σαυτόν is ok! ) |

| iriniNumber of messages: 849 | Nope! In ancient Greek it would be γνῶθι σαὑτόν and in modern γνώθι σαυτόν (or γνῶθισεαυτόν /γνώθι σεαυτόν).
I agree about the free spirit though. As a verbatim translation mind you; I don't really speak Spanish. |

| | They are both philosophical sayings:
the first one is from Nietzsche, referring to the humanists (de- freie Geister).
the second one is the maxim of Socrates. |

| iriniNumber of messages: 849 | caspertavernello lol! Sorry I was reading the Spanish wikipedia and I made a mistake. I meant that I don't really speak Portuguese so when it comes to expressions I cannot speak with any authority. |

| | OK; it's changed now. irini, you really should've rejected my translation!
pirulito, how did you do that cool thing with the flag buttons? |
