"Αυτοί δείχνουν."

Translation:They are showing.

October 24, 2016

The English verb "to show" more usually would take an object. Without the object, the sentence feels incomplete

Yes, even in Greek is a letdown. Maybe we can edit it aafter Beta.

Doesn't it leave beta faster if you edit things now so we stop reporting them?

Mod

Yes, but we can't change the Greek sentences while in Beta. We can only delete the real "losers" which of course we do.

"Point" doesn't take an object ... but "point at" which is indicated now definitely does

November 4, 2016

Would "they indicate" be correct or not?

Mod

Yes, very good catch. And "indicate" seems to come from "δειχνω". Thank you.

Oh, i thought this was talking about a body part. Like the nipples of a woman wearing a see-through shirt. "They (her nipples) are showing.

That's one we never thought of but that would be another verb in Greek. "Αυτοί φαίνονται." 'They are visible.'

Why is "They are pointing" not accepted?
