"Είναι το γυαλί ένα μέταλλο;"

Translation: Is glass a metal?

[DerekZahav]

Is butter a carb?

[Meowe3]

This is a jewel

[PVLSANS]

Γιατι δε ρωταμε "Ειναι γυαλι ενα μεταλλο;";

[D_..]

In Greek the definite article has to be present when referring to a generalized concept, unlike English. For example:

Women live longer than men. - Οι γυναίκες ζουν περισσότερο από τους άνδρες.

People live in houses. = Οι άνθρωποι μένουν σε σπίτια.

[PVLSANS]

Α! Αλλα αν ειναι ετσι, νομιζω οτι υπαρχουν φρασες που μπορω να πω το αρθρο και δυολιγγο ακομη λεει οτι δεν ειναι σωστο... Θα βλεπω. Σ'ευχαριστω παντως!

[Languages127]

όχι απολύτως τίποτα!

[G.Georgopoulos]

What did you mean to say in English?

[Vivliothykarios]

Will a moderator have a listen to this sentence's recording at regular speed? "She" sounds like she's pronouncing γυαλί more like "γέλι," to my ear. If you agree, will you guys please send in a correction request? (I did report the audio doesn't sound right.)

Thanks Vivliothykarios. I'll see if we have a Spreadsheet with audio errors otherwise I'll add it as an independent issue. We're expecting changes to be made but have no idea when.
