Jussi Piitulainen <jussi.piitulai...@helsinki.fi>: > But what is "set comprehension" in French, German, or Finnish?
The comprehension principle has to do with the assumption in Naive Set Theory that for any logical predicate, there is a corresponding set. To put it in plain English, every adjective is equivalent to a collection and vice versa. [I'm sure you know this, Jussi, but not everybody might.] The Finnish Wikipedia entry uses the term "abstraktioskeema" (Engl. "abstraction scheme", <URL: https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joukko-oppi#Aksiomaattinen_joukko-oppi>). I have not heard that term before, and Google doesn't find other hits for it. Myself, I might propose the word "koonta" as a simple Finnish translation for "comprehension". Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
