Eeerrr...almost εντάξει..I guess..The second sentence makes sense but the first one is rather unlear still. One; I can't find the meaning of σπυθιρίζουν! Two; I guess I need the English translation of that particular sentence to make a comparison. Because as far as I understand what Past Cont. refers to in English is not the same one in Greek...??? Have I been clear enough??

... "έβλεπα" ... is, "past continuous tense" ...

... "είδα" ... is, plain "past tense" ...


(... and, OFCOURSE, with example ... !!! ... *υ* ... !!! ...)


... "έβλεπα (την) τα μάτια της να σπυθιρίζουν από ενθουσιασμό" ...


(... η σπίθα = spark ...

... "σπυθιρίζω" ... to "sparkle" ...)

... therefore, the sentence in English would "read" as ...

... "I was watching (her), her eyes sparkle with (literally από=from) enthusiasm" ...



... "είδα το Χάρο με τα μάτια μου" ...

(... a "Greekism" ... for an "experience" that whas been indeed VERY "freightening" ... !!! ... or, [as "Greeks go" !!!], ... for "emphasizing" the "dreadfulness factor" of "something" ... !!! ...)


... is "this" ... "εν-τάξη" (literally, "in order"), now ... ?!? ... ... ...


... ...

Ναι ναι Azimcim..Now it's OK and it's in order...What confuses me is that I sometimes see έβλεπα in sentences that give more like a "used to" meaning. I think I have misinterpreted those sentences..Azimcim you have been more than helpful tonight..Please accept my sincerest thanks..Now I may let you go without any harm!! Thank you so much..

... ... ... I AM TERRIBLY SORRY !!! ... ... ...


... probably too "tired" ... (and, ... obviously, TERRIBLE at "ορθογραφία" ... !!! ... this is EXTREMELY "bad" of me and your "first impression" !!! !!! !!! ... !!! !!! !! ... !!! !!! !!!)


... ...



... "έβλεπα (την) τα μάτια της να σπινθηρίζουν από ενθουσιασμό" ...


(... η σπίθα = spark ...

... "σπινθηρίζω" ... to "sparkle" ...)

... therefore, the sentence in English would "read" as ...

... "I was watching (her), her eyes sparkle with (literally από=from) enthusiasm" ...



... AGAIN, ... I am TERRIBLY "SORRY" for "messing it up" with your "understanding" ... !!! ... !!! ... !!! ... ... ...
