“meta” also still means “across” in Greece
phérō meant “I carry”
metaphor: I carry across
they now use the term for “transportation in general”
here’s a modern truck in Greece for ΜΕΤΑΦΟΡΙΚΗ
in Greek, they use μεταφορική έννοια (metaforikí énnoia – literally “transportation sense”) to mean “metaphor”
Yo this is an incredibly cool looking truck though
Run of the mill, is there anything in particular you fancy?
I think the color scheme is what caught my eye, but the row of fog lights and general styling are great. Comparing to trucks in US
I think this type specifically is referred to as eurotruck. I always thought the trucks with the large front looked away cooler, and more serviceable. You don't need to tilt the whole cabin forward 😄
Not whom you asked but the way the windshield almost wraps around the front. Like the opposite of this ↓ sexy beast.
I want one that transforms into a robot.
This is the crapsack universe, so it will, at best, turn into a GoBot.
Hey, Road Ranger was pretty cool.
I don't think it was true about Road Ranger, but a lot of GoBots just had their robot heads underneath the vehicle pointing towards the ground when they were in car mode and when I was a kid, I was always confused about how they could see anything but the road surface when they were driving around.
