Greek translation please

I'm about to send a package of hand made Christmas cards to Symi for sale in aid of S.A.W. Jean has kindly agreed to handle the sale/distribution of these fantastic

one off

hand crafted cards

so, if you are on the island this winter please contact her in a couple of weeks when they should have arrived.

Right, advertisement over. What I need from one of you Greek speakers is the equivalent of DO NOT BEND in Greek. Something I can cut and paste would be really great. :mrgreen:

Thanks

I did a Google search, Sue. The verb "fold" is "��" "Do not" comes out as "��" Good luck!

Thanks Kojak..that's given me something that looks good even if I'm not sure it means what I want it to mean!

I was faced with the same problem a few years ago, when I was sending some photos to Greece. The trouble is that my Greek dictionary gives several words for the verb "bend": k�mpto, lig�zo, g�rno, and sk�vo. No doubt some of them are used for different types of bending in different circumstances - you don't want to find that you've told the postman not to bend over!

I think we need a fluent Greek speaker for this - will anyone oblige? :idea:

"Bend" did pose problems. That's why I chose the verb "fold". But you're right Anthony, perhaps Kon could oblige

Guys i think the best way to put it is
" PARA KALO NA MYN LIGISTE"which if translated means "please do not bend"

Thanks everyone. The package has now left bearing words (in Greek script) not too dissimilar to Kon's suggestion. (I hope!)
