Comment by thaumasiotes 5 months ago I'm curious why λακωνίζειν needs to be nominalized and φιλοσοφείν doesn't. 1 comment thaumasiotes Reply andsoitis 5 months ago λακωνίζειν gets nominalized when you want to discuss the concept itself (to act like a Spartan/speak laconically)φιλοσοφείν often remains as an infinitive because it's describing an activity someone does or wants to do (to philosophize)
