Talk:vraka

So, is "vraka" like "pant" (referring to one leg of the breeches)? If not, how to "vraka" and the plural (whatever it is) differ? Does "vraka" mean "one pair", as in "he was wearing [a] vraka", while the plural is if more than one pair is present, as in "he bought two shirts and three ___"? - -sche (discuss) 22:35, 13 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I've put a bunch of citations here. Note that Google wouldn't let me see any of the actual snippets to determine if they italicised the word or not. - -sche (discuss) 22:53, 13 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks — now I'm even more confused! Where did vraki: come from? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 01:36, 14 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I think that - and should check - colloquially vraki (βρακί - singular) are briefs or underpants and (probably in the plural βρακία) the lower garments collectively. &mdash; Saltmarshαπάντηση 06:41, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Unlike English plurals of such terms: About plural of Greek words like, plural. Like, plural. Singular and plural can be taken literally, or, they mean exactly the same thing (pair of...) with the plural also used collectively, or generally, or ironically. Examples. As for, plural its ety is updated; it always means underpants. &#8209;&#8209;Sarri.greek &#9835; I 17:30, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
