"Αυτός δεν μιλάει έτσι."

Translation: He does not speak like that.

[candronikos]

"He doesn't speak that way" was marked as wrong

[fortynachos]

As a native English speaker, my brain first went to the translation "He doesn't speak about that." How would you say that?

[G.Georgopoulos]

Δε(ν) μιλάει [γι(α)/σχετικά με] αυτό.

[FilipFilip17]

In the type what you hear exercise, I accidentally wrote “Αυτόσ δεν μιλάει έτσι.” and it was marked wrong. Is that so bad?

[Dimitra956826]

It's not too bad, but is ungrammatical, since σ couldn't possibly be at the end of a word. :P Personally, I don't think that being marked wrong in this case is that much of an issue, since the learners need to get used to the difference between σ and ς. ^.^

[FilipFilip17]

Fair point. Ευχαριστώ.

[Nikos48739]

He doesn't speak like so?

[creyesm1992]

In spanish this phrase can be translated as "Él no habla así", which is very interesting because the greek word "έτσι" is very similar to the spanish word "así", at least in this context

[G.Georgopoulos]

Yes, the syntax of Greek, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese is very similar.

[JuanAntoni154283]

"έτσι" sounds similar to the spanish word "así". They mean the same.
