μη ειδικοί/κοινοί παρατηρητές


Explanation:
to most lay observers = στους περισσότερους κοινούς/μη ειδικούς παρατηρητές

lay (επίθετο) = 1(β) To the lay mind = στα μάτια του μη ειδικού, του κοινού ανθρώπου (Μέγα Λεξικό, εκδόσεις Οδυσσέας)

Βρήκα και το εξής: Αναφέρεται στον "Lay Observer for Northern Ireland":

"Please note that The Lay Observer is a lay person. He is therefore not legally qualified, and nor is he permitted to be, under the legislation. He can therefore not give you legal opinion."
