Correct Greek 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷: 1)Magic: Μαγεία/Μαγικός (Mageia means the art of magic, magikos means someone who is magical/enchanted). It comes from the ancient Greek word Μάγος (magos) meaning "wise person" 2)Eggplant: Μελιτζάνα (melijana), from Italian Melentzana 3)Handshake: Χειραψία (chirapsia), from ancient Greek χείρ (modern Greek χέρι) meaning hand/arm, and ancient Greek άπτω (apto) meaning to touch. "Hand touch" 4)Bicycle: Ποδήλατο (podilato), from ancient Greek ποῦς (ποδός) , Modern Greek πόδι (podi) meaning foot/leg, and ηλάτης (ilatis) (modern Greek κοπηλάτης) meaning someone how rows. "Foot rowing thing" 5)Earth: Γη (Yi), from ancient Greek Γαῖα (Gaia)/Γῆ (Gē), meaning Earth/land, the ancient Greek goddess Gaia is considered to be one of the first primordial gods, together with Uranus they gave birth to the Titans. Words including Gaia in them are all Greek, such as geometry (γεωμετρία, counting of the Earth), geology (γεωλογία, study/science/logic of the earth), geography (γεωγραφία, writing down of the Earth) and even the name George (Γεώργιος, he who works the land, a farmer) 6)Toothpaste: Οδοντόκρεμα (odondokrema), it comes from ancient Greek οδοῦς (οδόντος) meaning "tooth" (modern Greek δόντι (dondi)) and κρέμα (krema), which means cream, most likely a Western loanword "Tooth cream" 7)Sticker: Αυτοκόλλητο (aftokolito) from anc. Greek αυτός meaning self/the same, and κολλάω meaning to stick/glue. The suffix -το means "that which can be", therefore all together the word means "that which can be stuck/glued on its own".

You didn't have to throw shade at the greek girl by prefacing everything you said with "correct greek", implying what she said was incorrect.

[@nicoladc89]

@@KastoriaPaok yes but the Greek word derives from the Italian one, like Artichoke that is a word born in Arab (al-ḵaršūfa) that arrived in English through Spanish (alcarchofa) and Northern Italian (articiocco). The Italian word has the same origin of the Spanish one, but Italians during the Middle Ages used to add the prefix "melo" (apple in English) to exotic fruits (melanzana, melograno, melacotogna, melangolo) somehow similar to what happened in English with Pineapple.

​@@darrylbrookes2780 Greek is an Indo-Germanic language, it doesn't come from Phoenician. But Greeks developed their writing system on the example of the Phoenician one, adapting it to their own language. Also Latin doesn't fully originate from Greek, it was influenced by Greek. Latin, Greek and German have the same roots and are related also to Sanskrit. Greeks and Italians interacted a lot so Italian and Greek influenced each other.

[@epher04]

Hello from Greece🇬🇷! Well, Greek is definitely not a Latin based language. The language, as we now know it, comes from ancient Greek, which is considerably older than Latin. The Greek girl, translated "Magic" as "Μαγικό", which is used in Greek as an adjective. The word that we use as an substantive is "Μαγεία". Also, by "Χαιρέτισμα" we mean "Greeting". The word which stands for handshake is "Χειραψία" (χειρ=hand, άπτω, αγγίζω=touch). The second compound of the word "bicycle", comes from the Greek word "κύκλος" (also, bicycle=ποδήλατο, is the means of transport controlled by the legs). Except for "οδοντόπαστα"=toothpaste, we also use the word "οδοντόκρεμα". It was a really nice video! Always interesting to compare different languages and their vocabularies! They present differences, but also many similarities, showing the cultural and linguistic contact of the nations! Thank you very much!😊

This Spanish versions are more similar to the Italian. Italian: Stretta di mano Spanish: Estrechar la mano Italian: Dentifricio Spanish: Dentífrico (more used in ads, it sounds more formal, more scientific) In Spanish we also have the word “adesivo”, but it’s written with h “adhesivo” and it refers to everything that sticks. So stickers, glues, tape, masking tape, duct tape, blablatape 😂 would be “adhesivos”.

In Armenian, we don't say Terra for Earth but it is related to our word for "place", which is Tegh (originally pronounced Tel in ancient times). It's pronounced like the French word Terre but with a slightly different T sound. Watching the video as an Armenian speaker, I was expecting that Armenian would have more in common with Greek, but I'm hearing more in common with Spanish and Italian.

The girl called Ellada, doesn't actually speak mainstream Greek but the Cypriot version, hence why the pronunciation and accent are off. Not sure if she is Greek or Cypriot in terms of origin but language-wise she is definitely the former (imagine comparing UK and Ireland).

[@mariasideri1974]

greek here, yes she did some mistakes and also, her name is ellada? weird but nice. I'm not gonna repeat the other comments, yes greek and italian share a lot of similarities, one borrowing from another, living in italy for a semester i experienced it. Greek and spanish sound the same, thats why a lot of people mix us up but also can learn spanish really easily:) Then of course geran and greek might not sound or write the same, but deep down they share the same grammar as greek, because they were influenced by ancient greek, hence they have "Dativ" and many more. For example the word hippopotamus (greek word btw) in greek is "ιπποποταμος" which literally translates to "horse" and "river", and in german it has the same logic! "Nilpferd", which again translates to "river" and "horse", the horse of the river! I get too excited about languages haha..

We use these words in Greek too, they are not Greek but we use both calcomanía and estampa, "χαλκομανία", "στάμπα". The Greek word is "Αυτοκόλλητο" the "Αυτο" is known in several English and Latin words it is "auto" like automatic or automobile it means that something is happening by it self without human help so the word means something that sticks by itself.

The Spanish girl did it wrong just saying one example of saying the same word. In fact the beauty of Spanish is that there are thousands of synonyms. Also she said “pasta de dientes” which is the vulgar way of saying “dentrífico” as Italian people does, and she even forgot to mention that you can also call “adesivo” instead of “pegatina” to stickers.

That is not true. The Germanic words in english has not been romanticized at all.
