Greek भाषा आपने कभी पढ़ी नहीं; कोई अचानक उसमें बात करे तो एक शब्द पल्ले नहीं पड़ेगा। इसलिए 'It's all Greek to me' = मेरी समझ से बाहर, incomprehensible।

You have never studied Greek; if someone suddenly spoke it to you, you would not understand a single word. So 'it's all Greek to me' means it is beyond my understanding.

Exam note

Answer है — incomprehensible; 'abstruse' (दुर्बोध) पास का option है, जबकि 'lucid' और 'comprehensible' उल्टे हैं।

The answer is 'incomprehensible'; 'abstruse' is a close option, while 'lucid' and 'comprehensible' are opposites.
