What did brutus mean when he said it was Greek to you?
Brutus didn't say that. Casca didn't say that, even. Can you not tell the difference between "it was Greek to you" and "it was Greek to me"?Casca is reporting what went on while Brutus and Cassius were talking. He says that Cicero made a speech in Greek, "but for my part, it was Greek to me." Casca means he doesn't speak Greek so he didn't understand any of it. The expression "it was Greek to me" (NEVER "it was Greek to you.") means "I didn't understand a word of it."
