[Artful]

How could I say (well I am going to have it engraved) 'The Incorrigible Bookworm'. Can anyone help me - thank you very much.

Be extremely careful with any suggestions you may receive and double check them with a Greek speaker if possible. Naz is trustworthy but you may get responses that mean all sorts of rude things.

Oh I certainly wouldn't trust an online translator. Some of their results are laughable.

It does (which is rare) translate back & forth with the same results each time ...

I would check that. It's years since I did any Greek, but it looks like there is a plural article and adjective with a singular noun.

[tearinghair]

same here, Mike11111, About 50 years in my case, and I agree with you about singular/plural. (though wasn't there something about a singular verb being needed with a plural neuter noun? that's not the same thing, though).

[mike11111]

44 years in my case. You're right about neuter plural nouns requiring a singular verb, but as you say, this is something diffferent. Interestingly enough, I have recently begun to teach myself Welsh, and all plural nouns take a singular verb. The third person plural is only for the pronoun 'they'. Funny things, languages.
