Dear Dr. Conrad et al,
Thank you for your message and reply. For clarity, it was in the context of:
OhUTOI OhI KAIROI
Another sentance has come up that you might be able to help with:
TAUTA BIBLIA ESTIN TOIS EKEINOIS TOIS DIDASKALOIS
I note here that the demonstartives are accompanied by a definite
article that agrees in number, case and gender. I also note that
DIDASKALOIS is dative plural of DIDASKALOS (=teacher). So, the teacher
is the indirect object.
So I'm working on something like: these books are [something] those teachers.
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks for the help, apologies for the schoolboy errors.
