Word to your Mother

[Seeton]

I took a year of greek. We joked that "logos sh mhtri" means "word to your mother." I wanted to find out if it is declined right and if it is an accurate translation.

If it is. I now copyright it as a legitimate name for a future band. So nobody can use it.
I also want in on any tee-shirt action!

logos mhtri sou

OR

logos th sh matri

Without the article, the personal pronoun would bew used insatead of the possessive, whereas with the article the specific possessive would be used.

hmm... :huh:
is this the consensus?
are we talking koine here?
hmm...

[Jaltus]

Yes, it is Koine.

I took a quick look at both through Bibleworks (a program that enables the Greek text of the NT to be fully searchable) and that was the usage type I found.

Besides, I taught Koine Greek in seminary, so generally I know what I am talking about.

Jaltus,

Hear that wooshing sound? That's the sound of that going right over my head :dunce:

Which Seminary.
I believe you. But which one?
I'm about to Start at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in the Fall.
Don't make fun! :brood:

I taught this last year at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. I was a teaching fellow there in the NT department.
