ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Movable nu

Alright kiddo, have you ever heard of the word "nu"? It's a special word in the Greek language that means "now". When we say "nu", it's like saying "right now".

Now, let's talk about "movable nu". Sometimes, when we use the word "nu" in Greek, it moves around depending on the other words in the sentence. Just like how a toy moves around if you push it in different directions!

This moving "nu" can change the meaning of the sentence or make it easier to say. Kinda like when you move your toys around to make a cool tower or a fun fort!

So remember, "nu" means "now" in Greek, and sometimes it moves around to make our words easier to say or to change the meaning of a sentence. Cool, huh?
