Let's say so. Romanos got divorced. Not for any particular reason, but his marriage ended. Now that we are talking about it, indeed, lately they were just living together. No sex or anything. |

Is Romanos a person or a couple? If this is a couple, it should be 'the Romanos' in English. If it is a person, 'their' and 'they' is not correct.
Apart from this, my suggestion, to make it sound a bit more 'normal', is:
It's a fact. The Romanos got divorced. Not for any particular reason, but their marriage ended. Lately, they were just living together anyway. No sex or anything.
Do you agree? Can you help? Thanks! | | | 8 July 2010 16:02 | | | Hello
Romanos is a person and I agree with your suggestion, but i used their exact pronouns (Ο Ρωμανός χώÏισε = involves only him as person "he broke up", but τους = their, them).
Considering that I dont know the context, i kept their original style.
Also, I totally agree with your other more "normal" form | | | 8 July 2010 16:04 | | LeinNumber of messages: 3389 | That was fast! Thanks, I have set a poll. | | | 12 July 2010 13:13 | | | Το "ας τα λÎμε" δε σημαίνει "it's a fact". What about "let's say so.." | | | 14 July 2010 16:36 | | User10Number of messages: 1173 | I agree with Xristina. We use "let's say so" as an answer to "Is everything/are you allright?"
"Let's say so. Romanos got divorced. Not for any particular reason, but his marriage ended. Since/Nnow that we are talking about it, indeed, lately they were just living together.Neither sex nor anything." |
