Hi all... Just a few questions on English to Greek if someone could help...

How would you translate the sentence 'Do you know who wrote the best letter, teacher?'

I ended up getting something like ἀρ'ου γιγνωσκει ὁς την ἀριστην ἐπιστολην ἐγραψε, ὠ διδασκαλε but I'm not too sure if I'm even close with that...

Also, in the case of something like 'This woman asked whether I had seen the slave running away'

ἡδε γυνη ἠρωτησε εἰ εἰδον τον δουλον ἀποτροποντα - is that correct?

Thanks

For sentences like the first one I prefer to use participles but the relative pronoun is fine. It should also be γιγνωσκεις. Also the question isn't really 'loaded' to expect a yes answer so I would just go for ἀρα instead of ἀρ'ου. Remember to end questions with a semicolon.

I would change the second one so εἰδον is at the end, and it should be ἠρωτησεν since it's followed by a vowel. What verb is ἀποτροποντα from? I would have used ἀποτρεχοντα from ἀποτρεχω for run away

Aside from those everything looks ok, though others might come along and say otherwise. Good luck in your exam

ooooops, most of these were typo's when I put it into typegreek... My bad.

Had the exam today, hopefully went okay. Wish someone'd make an unofficial mark scheme though :P desperate to know if i did okay
