Could anyone translate the phrase "exploring the unknown" from English to Greek for me? I would appreciate it, thanks in advance.


Edit: If you could do "explorer of the unknown," I'd also appreciate it.

according to babel fish (http://world.altavista.com/),

exploring the unknown: εξερεύνηση τον άγνωστου

explorer of the unknown: εξερευνητής του άγνωστου




course, if you want to know how to say them, or if the translator got it right, you'll have to find someone else...

heh I wonder if there's a way to write that out in this alphabet (whatever the name for it is, latin maybe?)

Latin it is: here you go (I hope:) The stress is on the one -like this-.

εξερεύνηση τον άγνωστου: Exere-ΓΌ-neysey ton -ag-nohsto'u.

εξερευνητής του άγνωστου- Exereunayt-eys tou ag-nohsto'u.

Do you notice that agnostic comes from the expression for unknown?

I hope that this was helpful.

It was very helpful, thank you so much Smile

So this is just pronounced how it is written?


Exereunayt-eys tou ag-nohsto'u

Let's see. . . ex (as in execute?)
er (as in error or as in killer ?)
eunayt (you-night or what?)
eys (as in "ace" ?)

tou (toe?)

ag (as in agnostic I assume, or the "ah" sound?)
nohsto (no-sto . . . o as in snow?)

Heh 2:35 AM. . . maybe I should try this after some rest.

Er like killEr.

Eunayt is like: ey oo nayt (ay like as in day)
Eys is indeed like ace.
Tou is like 'to.'
Ag as in agnostic, yes, but with a long A (like the A in father)
And the first Oh is like snow, the second like 'pot.'
