Understanding copyright of personal greek translation work?
What copyright issues, if any, are tied in to publishing your own translation of greek text. If for example you print your own translation of parts of the bible in your own works, but your translation is based on NA or UBS, does that create a problem? I have noticed that this site creates a free ver...

Re: Teaching lookalikes for a passage
Would there be much difference between these look-a-likes and the corresponding sound-a-likes for the various major pronunciation systems? Depends if the quiz is oral or written... This was exactly my first thought upon reading the original post. I was a little surprised to read that such a thing w...

Re: Telling Students Vocabulary Coverage Statistics
As a student, the stats in Mounce always seemed nonsense right from the start for two reasons. 1. As you said, being able to read all the occurrences of και is not actually impressive, no matter how many times it occurs. 2. As a learner of several languages, trying to actually use it in real life, b...

John 7:20, How does a crowd reply?
Hi guys, I've often wondered "How does a crowd reply", that is, what sort of mental image does this create in terms of the real event it is describing. I.e: 20 ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ὄχλος· δαιμόνιον ἔχεις· τίς σε ζητεῖ ἀποκτεῖναι Now as I read this types of phrases in the Greek with consideration of ...

Breaking down sentences, i.e. John 6:57
Hi Guys, While I believe I have an accurate ability to recognise the role nominative/accusative in a basic sentence, and I do generally recognise correctly the subject/objects while practicing reading the NT, There have been some cases in the greek NT, where I am mixing up the subject/object positio...

Re: Rev. 1:4 ὁ ἦν not ὁ γενόμενος
Being relatively new to greek, and newly exposed to these types of discussions, I am trying to grasp the point here. This particular phrase is one that I don't think anyone in my first year class had any problem grasping. Hence I doubt there would be any question over the meaning for the original re...

Re: Mt.28:1 ἦλθεν set out, travel or arrive?
Off topic: The only way to start watching a thread is to post into it and tick the "notify me when a reply is posed" option right. Anyway I am only posting this so I can activate the the "watch" feature. (I'd try and contribute instead, but you've gone above my level of greek :D )

Re: Mt.28:1 ἦλθεν set out, travel or arrive?
Why does this the basic point of discussion for this verb recurrently go to the discussion of whether it means "go" or "come"? I didn't mean to suggest the question was identical, but they are certainly related. Your question gives the options "set out", "travel&q...
