Ancient Tattoo
I'm getting a tattoo: is this the correct way to say "nice" in ancient Greek?
So I will be getting a tattoo on ankle before, and I want to say "beautiful" in ancient Greek. I looked through many translators and websites, but I can not seem to find the right way to say! I'm considering getting something like this … http://hubpages.com/hub/Tattoo_Ideas_Greek_Words_Phrases (the first, he says "beautiful" hereunder) Thanks a lot! I've thought about this, and I'm not going to get for the wrong reasons. So I really appreciate your help!
The image said read όμορφη (omorfe; females) from male όμορφος (omorfos) and beautiful modern Greek, you're beautiful of handsome.I be cool with modern Greek, you may want to use. About όμορφη in [1] I personally would go for the classical Greek because the language is much more melodic, inspiring and beautiful (what's new!). In ancient Greek there are actually different words for "beautiful", according to the aspect who wants to express. Here are some suggestions (who scored the double in two different ancient Greek dictionaries [2]) (1) A beautiful woman is seen in the street would be a εὐπρέπεια (Eu-prepeia). (2) There παράδοξος (para-doxos), an adjective in this variant, both male and female. This means beautiful, strange, remarkable, but also: funny, strange. odd (3) Another word would ὡραῖος (o-rai-os), meaning sweet, kind, fair, but rarely, to meet the standards are adequate. The adjective has its own female (woman) that forms ὡραῖα (o-rai-a). I would go for that if you means "beautiful" in the context of human beauty. You can also go for a superiative, which means the greatest form of an adjective, meaning "great beauty "or" as beautiful as can be. "ὡραῖος this would ὡραῖωτατος To (o-rai-bamboos) by ὡραῖα women – ὡραῖωτατη (O-rai-otate). I hope this was not much information too …
