Question:

My boyfriend is of Greek descent, and I am looking to get his favorite phrase engraved into a pendant for his birthday. I tried to look for a translation, but I want to make sure it's right. Could someone please verify what I have or give me the right one?

Phrase: All's the same

What I have: όλο ο ίδιοσ

Thanks so much!

Όλα είναι ίδια = Everything is the same
Όλοι είναι ίδιοι = all (men) are the same
Όλες είναι ίδιες = all (women) are the same

Thank you so much... is there any way you could [or anyone else] give me the phonetic pronunciation?

Thanks again!

for "όλα είναι ίδια" you would read
ola (o as in dog, l as in like and a as in alphabet) eene (ee as in week, n as in nice, and e as in pet) eethya (ee as in week, th as in there, y like in yes and a like in alphabet)

I'm am getting a tattoo based on Alexander the Great and i was wondering if anybody could translate a phrase to Greek for me. I want to make sure it is right since it will be on me forever. The phrase is:

"There is nothing impossible to him who will try."

Thanks for your help.

Here you go...
"Οὐδὲν τοῖς θαρροῦσιν ἀνάλωτον" this is in ancient greek
in modern greek it would be "Δεν υπάρχει τίποτα ακατόρθωτο για αυτόν που προσπαθεί"
