Greetings, How do you say this in Turkish? Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_many_angels_can_dance_on_the_head_of_a_pin? Or: How many angels can dance on a pinhead? The expression typifies a trite subject of discussion, particularly in contrast to matters of true importance. In this case I'm looking for the literal translation. They say that the Byzantines discussed this a lot, but I don't know if this is true or not. Best wishes, and many thanks, Simon
I had never heard this saying before. I don't think I've quite understood it either. But since you're asking for a litteral translation, here you are: Kaç melek bir toplu iğne başında dans edebilir ki?
Hi, I've found some citations: "bir iğnenin ucunda kaç tane melek dans edebilir?" "bir toplu iğnenin ucunda kaç melek dans eder?" "Kaç melek dans edebilir, bir iğne üzerinde?" interchangeably, all can be considered as a literal translation.
