Tina

I voted for pecs…cuz Epi is so swole!

I would relearn Latin just to read Episcopal elegiacs. Textkit’s might have its Persius.

I would suggest, ask for her motivation.
I don’t think such a young girl wants honestly to deal with Greek poetry,
neither it’s a good idea to train her in (ancient) dead grammar rules (Though wierdos are all around…).
Seeing you laying down under the tree, I’d bet a fortune she had other things in mind.

I have to agree with ThomasGR - find out what she’s really after.

Just ask her why she wants to learn Greek. If she is truly interested in the language, she would have some sense (even if it seems vague or naive) of what she wants to do with it. Furthermore, from her stated interests you would know if she wants to learn ancient or modern Greek. If her answer to this simple question is dodgy, I’d be suspicious.

Another thing: direct her here to Textkit. If you suspect her interests lie with you rather than with Greek, see how eager she is about the language when learning it doesn’t involve you…

Clearly what you need, Episcopus, is a diversion. Find someone who can speak Modern Greek, and use them to extricate yourself.

Modern Greek speakers in these parts? :open_mouth:

I seem to find more who speak punjabi than english, but none who speak greek.

I like the saying “docendo discimus”, so I guess it’s always a great opportunity to be able to teach someone who is really interested in the subject at hand.
I’d check out if she really wants to learn greek, like Raya said, and if she does, i’d definitely teach her - even if she’s fat. but I wouldn’t exactly teach her if she were cute and incapable.


By the way, spero ne fecerim mutaueris nuntium tuum.

Well

Next: Sanskrit!

This poll is indeed successful for an open board post! The Episcopal pectora seem to be regarded very highly.

All the more remarkable that the Episcopal pectora have never been regarded here.

Episcopal pectora is a fine phrase, with much phonetic figuration and a nice rhythm. An Old Irish poet would swoon.

I might have replied to this poll but I can’t help being offended at the thought that whether a girl is fat or 1/attractive plays such a major part in the decision making. (No, I’m not overweight even if I am 235 pounds.Well… 10 pounds less would be fine.)

men are pigs…

but… if men are pigs, that would make us women sows :frowning:

Wellger nowadays.

I recall an earlier thread that purported to have your picture in it. This caused speculation on your greasing regime, but it turned out not to be you. So I’m afraid I harbor doubts about that new one, too.

“This girl tina said that she wanted me “to learn her greek”.” (Episcopus)

You’re so innocent, dear Episcopus! If the girl doesn’t speak Greek and yet she has Greek for you to learn, she can only be talking of one thing: a Greek in Bordello parlance. I’m not sure of the actual gymnastics involved in performing a Greek, but I’ve heard it costs double.

annis - how m

In other words, she likes the strong aorist and speaks in the passive voice. However, her morphology may make redoubling and augmentation difficult for the bishop.

None. But in a world with Photoshop all photos are suspect, if only a little.
