Oh, I don' t eat liver either. I am not a vampire.

I also hate mushrooms. Bloody little pieces of mold.
Ah, kourabiedes are much better than Small Honey Cakes.

(IMHO)

Yeah, I hate them too. They have a disgusting smell and taste. I also hate artichokes. I hate them more than twilight and Robert Pattinson. Imagine that!

You don' t want a vampire to bite you, trust me.

It just doesn' t suit you.

They live exclusively on raw material.

Hi! I hate both small honey cakes (interesting and quite accurate translation, by the way!) and traditional "kourampiedes" (the smell of butter makes me sick)...! I mostly prefer chocolate cakes and brownies and almost anything that has chocolate stuffing...!

Hm... Is it your syntax wrong or is it that my English sucks?

I like melomakárona, by the way.

Since you asked to be corrected, please allow me to underscore just one mistake...!
The phrase "I think I don't lose anything" is not an english one...! It's actually word per word translation from the greek idiom "Δεν χάνω και τίποτε"...! In other words, it's not a phrase used by english native speakers and it doesn't make much sense in their language...! If told to a native, this phrase could mean that you don't think you've lost something, literally - for example you don't think you've lost your stuff or something!!!

In order for you to say what you meant to underline by trasnlating the afore-mentioned greek idiom, you could use the phrase "I don't think there's something for me to lose" or "I don't believe I have anything to lose, by not eating these particular sweets"!
I hope I helped!

Kind regards,
Lita Athens
-----------------------------------------
For the record, the other sentences you wrote are correct as far as their grammar and syntax are concerned! However, you could have used more ellaborate vocabulary and you could have tried connecting the phrases by certain "linking words"- conjuctions!

Friendly regards,

I don't like stuffed turkey very much... I can't stand the smell of this particular dish... I didn't know it had liver in it... that's disgusting (at least, according to me)! I could never imagine eating liver...

As far as the other festive dishes are concerned, I mostly prefer chicken (without the stuffing) or pork...

I really like the traditional "δίπλες" as well as any kind of chocolate stuffed sweet...! I absolutely love chocolate... i couldn't imagine life without it...!

OH, YES! That is GOOD!
I wanna bake some brownies tomorrow. Let' s hope they are not gonna end up very dry... I don' t mind if they still drip a little.

Did you know, however, that brownies contain butter, too?

Hm... Is it your syntax wrong or is it that my English sucks?

I want a vampire to bite me would be better, I think.

Ah, well, maybe that' s why.

Objectively, there are hundreds of stuffed turkey recipes out there, and you might find that some do suit your taste.

As far as the other festive dishes are concerned, I mostly prefer chicken (without the stuffing) or pork...

Well, I could. It would be less fatty.

But no, I won' t buy it. Chocolate is adorable.

The ones that haven't been fully baked and are not very dry inside are the best!!! Actually, the more they're dripping, the better!!!

I knew about the butter... that's what makes them fattening, yet at the same time so delicious...!!!
-----------------------------------------
P.S: The butter in "kourapiedes" that smells terribly is what makes me sick...
The butter contained in brownies and this kind of sweets doesn't smell like that...

P.S 2 : Come on guys, let's try to keep this topic alive!!!

Well,frankly,I know almost nothing about cookery,so I hope you don't mind if we talk about sth else at the same time.You are free to go on with your sweet-conversation,but try to sychronise with the new subject we are going to negotiate(or,anyway,I am going to),as well.

So,how did you guys spend your holidays?Or how would you want to spend the christmas holidays?

Personally,I spent my holidays sleeping,going out,reading literary books(The portrait of Dorian Gray,Μήπως;, and I am currently reading Bizuhnos's short stories,although I am wondering why it takes me too much to read all of them)and last but not least passing time in front of my adorable PC-screen,without doing anything constructive at all.

Your turn guys,but pls acknowledge for once and again that my knowledge on cooking is limited by far,so pay some attention to the new subject if possible.

Kotsis, I've just noticed that you live in Sykies... Why is the place called Sykies anyways??? Is it because of the high gay population or does the name derive from the homonymous tree that grows there?

I don't know anything about cookery either... I 've just mentioned the sweets I prefer... this doesn't mean though that I can cook them!!!

As far as the other issue raised is concerned (the one regarding christmas holidays), I must admit I have had a very nice time so far... Even though I didn't go on vocation and I stayed in Athens, in order to study for the forth-coming exams at the university, I spent these days with family and friends!!!

I read some books as well (english and greek literature)... By the way, Oscar Wild, whose book you've read, is one of my favourite authors!!!

I guess for the second,but that doesn't necessarily revoke the first supposition

Lita,good luck with your exams.Regarding your posts in here,you seem a highly conscientious student and person in general.So,I wouldn't argue that you will pass each and every subject with flying colours.

I was looking forward to reading one of Wilde's books for many days,but I just did it a week ago.To tell you the truth,while reading the book I didn't feel any high feeling,but the suspense was intensified through specific scenes and especially at the second part of the story,when the protagonist has grown up and he starts realising the situation in which he has found himself.The ending was a real contradiction to the whole story,when actually remorses reign over youth and beauty.Anyway,if anybody hasn't read the book,they should definitely do it.

Another asset is also that Wilde's writing is still revolutionary,although he lived almost a century before us.Taking into account the social framework in which he has written his books,we can call him without a doubt a great writer and innovator at the same time.Hope everyone was that open-minded in our days as Wilde was...

Lita,how do you generally find your studies at the uni?Would you advice anybody to follow your steps() and opt for greek?

First of all, I'd like to thank you for your kindness and your wishes!!!

I wish you as well good luck in each and every step you'll decide to take!!!

I find your commnets on Wilde very thorough and quite accurate.
He underscored the social hypocracy of the Victorian era, using remarkable irony and sarcasm in a very innovative manner... He was indeed an open - minded writer... Did you know that he was imprisoned because he was homosexual? I think this fact is what actually made him so sarcastic towards the society and the believes of his time... In general, I find the way he "rebells" through his books highly admirable!

As far as your second question is concerned, the one about my studies, I have to mention that greek literature (and literature in general) was a subject I always found interesting and quite thought - provoking...! I would advise someone to opt for greek studies and literature studies in general, only if they REALLY like literature and languages, since it's unfortunately a field a bit underestimated here in Greece due to low work potentials...

P.S.: I' ve noticed that you use english very well and you're pretty fluent regarding all the aspects of a language (vocabulary, grammar, syntax)! Where have you been learning english? Are you a native speaker, by any chance?
