peer agreement (net): +1δείχνει πόσο λάθος είναι Explanation: Η έκφραση στην Αγγλία είναι "to give the lie to" αλλά σε ΗΠΑ και Αυστραλία πέρασε περισσότερο όπως το έχεις εσύ. Η φράση απλά σημαίνει "καταδεικνύω το αναληθές", "δείχνω ότι κάτι είναι ψεύτικο, εσφαλμένο" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2010-11-17 10:03:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Προσθήκη: Για την έκφραση που ανέφερα δες και: give the lie to something (slightly formal) to show that something is not true He did not go into hiding, which gave the lie to the statement that he could not be found for an interview. Usage notes: also used in the form give the lie to someone (to show that someone has not been telling the truth): The latest soil tests give the lie to officials who say that the area is not contaminated.
