I know that Carl has been working to translate the German Sprechen Sie Attisch? on the LetsReadGreek.com site. That's a fantastic reference, but it doesn't seem to conform easily to phrases that we can use here. For example, there's no simple way to say "please," but it seems to be built into imperatives and optatives throughout. Is there just an expression that means "please"? What about "you're welcome"?
I see ἐπαινῶ τὸ σόν for "thank you." What does this make of the εὐχαριστῶ (σοι) that we are apt to use with each other on Schole?
Also, what would be the difference between ἐπαινῶ τὸ σόν (from Sprechen Sie Attisch?), εὐχαριστῶ (σοι) and χάριν ἔχω (which I found in the Oxford dictionary)?
Thanks!
