Hi
I'm a philosophy student currently writing an essay on Zeno's paradoxes, and thought it would be nice to bring in a disquotation by galileo...
Instead of "and yet it moves" I would like to write "and yet we move" ... I originally thought I should put in in latin, but wouldnt it be cooler to have it in greek since Zeno was greek?
I'd apreciate some help... thanks.
and yet WE move

Oh, yes.Linda wrote:is greek like latin where the "we" is somehow in the verb?
I think this is a good approximation in idiomatic (rather than literal) Greek:I think yet is eti, but i don't know the rest... cuz I dont know any greek....
καίτοι κινούμεθα and-yet we-move
And it alliterates!

That's betacode, the usual way we represent Greek here.Linda wrote:how would you spell it in greek? Does greek even have a q, cuz I couldnt see one in the alphabet in charmap.
Those are accent marks.I've got this:
και τοι κινού μεqα
which is probably wrong... and I didnt knowhow to translate the dashes.
καίτοι κινούμεθα
