Around 1989, I started to study ancient Greek by myself but soon I
found it difficult to master only with text itself. Among the excerise,
there was sentence like: "kalepa ta kala".
Even though its word is simple, overall meaning did not make sense to me.
After 20 years now, I searched the meaning of "kalepa ta kala" through the internet.
It reads: good things (are) difficult to attain.
(Botany: Good picture is difficult to take, too.)
However I cound not find the good translation or explanation of Greek
grammar.
Translation:
Kalepa ta kala: The beautiful things (are) difficult.

Like Korean language, a noun or a pronoun can be used as subjective
and an adjective as predicate, the verb "to be" being omitted in
sentence. Other hint can be read following picture "READING" problem no. 2;
Kalepa ta kala: The beautiful things (are) difficult.
