good things come to those who wait → αγάλι-αγάλι γίνεται η αγουρίδα μέλι, κάθε πράγμα στον καιρό του κι ο κολιός τον Αύγουστο, κάνε υπομονή κι ο ουρανός θα γίνει πιο γαλανός, ο επιμένων νικά, όλα στην ώρα τους, το καλό πράγμα αργεί, το καλό πράγμα αργεί να γίνει

[FatRobo]

Can anyone translate this into greek for me? I can look the individual words up but am not sure I will get the gramatic structure correct.

Cheers,

Chris.
a penny saved is a penny earned, a watched pot never boils, all things come to those who wait, all things in time, April showers bring May flowers, good things are worth waiting for, patience is a virtue, to everything there is a season

I believe the most suitable modern Greek equivalent is:

Αγάλι αγάλι γίνεται η αγουρίδα μέλι.

(Word for word: Little by little the unripe grape becomes as sweet as honey.)

Ah the inlaws loved it!

ευχαριστώ πολύ!

[FatRobo]

And also: "We are waiting for Katerina and Cameron to have children"

I need help translating these into Greek.

From what I can understand (very little) and from what I have been told it's something along the lines of:

ayali agali yinete i agouritha meli.

I think its english translation is not very straight forward. Can someone elso explain that for me to.

As for the second one, I have no idea.

Thansk for your help in advance.

Chris.

As you said,
Good things come to those who wait = αγάλι αγάλι γίνεται η αγουρίδα μέλι (i.e. sour grapes will mature and become as sweet as honey slowly)

We are waiting for Katerina and Cameron to have children = Περιμένουμε να κάνουν παιδιά η Κατερίνα και ο Κάμερον.

[Zazula]

Επίσης: Good things come to those who wait = Το καλό πράγμα αργεί να γίνει

[crystal]

κάθε πράγμα στον καιρό του κι ο κολιός τον Αύγουστο

[spiros]

κάνε υπομονή κι ο ουρανός θα γίνει πιο γαλανός

A patient seeker will be satisfied in due time; patience is a virtue.
