the figtree on Nostr: This is beautiful. ...

This is beautiful.

quoting nevent1q…uurg

The greeks 🇬🇷 never seize to amaze me.

Check out the "happy birthday" song (ρόνια πολλά) and its admirable phrasing:

Να ζήσεις _____ και χρόνια πολλά,
μεγάλος, -η να γίνεις με άσπρα μαλλιά.
Παντού να σκορπίζεις της γνώσης το φως
και όλοι να λένε να ένας/μία σοφός.

May you live (name), and many years,
May you become old with white hair.
May you spread the light of knowledge everywhere
And may everyone say, here is a wise one.
