The Greek Language

In this episode, David Hoffmann takes a moment to teach us some of the basics of the Greek language with his friend George in Meteora, Greece. Greek is one of the world’s oldest languages, dating back to the 3rd millennium B.C. It is also the world’s oldest recoded living languages, with written inscriptions on clay tablets dating back to between 1450 and 1350 B.C.! Modern-day Greeks obviously don’t speak ancient Greek anymore, and travelers would be surprised to know that Greek words are present throughout our everyday vocabulary such as medical terms and numbers.
In this Greek language introduction, George and David go over some basic words in Greek so that you can familiarize yourself with what it sounds like. Common words and phrases include Hello or “Yassas” and the days of the week. We hope this Greek language introduction gives you a “taste” of the Greek culture, and it is our hope you’ll one day get to explore Meteora, the beautiful heart of Greece.

[@nightknight2032]

Greeks start counting the days of the week from Sunday and that's proven by the meaning of each word. So we have: 1. Κυριακή (= Sunday) means "The day of the Lord" referring to the day of Christ's resurrection. 2. Δευτέρα (=Monday) literally means "Second (day)", so it's obvious that monday is not the first greek day. 3. Τρίτη (=Tuesday) meaining "Third" 4. Τετάρτη (=Wednesday) again meaning "Fourth" 5. Πέμπτη (=Thursday) meaning "Fifth" 6. Παρασκευή (=Friday) meaning "Creation" or "Making" deriving from the day on which Jewish people made their preperations for the Saturday. 7. Σάββατον (=Saturday) is a Jewish word meaning "Rest" since that was the day on which God at last "rested" after the Creation.

[@becc_snipe]

That doesn't matter anymore greece like every other eu nation uses the Monday-Sunday system

[@DranPan]

Δευτερα (monday) actually means Second (..day of the week), so it seems to me more proper if we began reciting the days of the week with Kyriaki(day of Kyrios, the God)

[@gapamint]

That is right and most calendars do start from Sunday (Kyriaki) with the option to set us Monday as "first" day of the week (evdomas, seven day) by meaning of first work day.

[@DranPan]

+Georgios Achilleus of Macedon I think that this stands only because electronic calendars are universal, not greek made. On yhe contrary, the greek otthodox week begin formally with Sunday(see; el.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%95%CE%B2%CE%B4%CE%BF%CE%BC%CE%AC%CE%B4%CE%B1)

@@medusachristo3725 Yes I wish people would understand this. I am of Spanish( Spain) descent and Italian. The fact is that I have about 18% DNA from Greece, why because the Greeks conquered Spain as did the Romans ..and the Spanish were also conquering parts of Italy. Spanish and Italian sound similar and they understand about 85-90%. European Spanish phonetically sounds like Greek, because why? We use the zeta (th) sound in our letters z and c which is the greek influence upon our languages. Both countries have this sound. Also, many of our words and last names end in os as es to etc etc..and so it is very easy for a Spaniard and a Greek to learn each other's language with almost no accent and same rhythm and sound. Spanish has many Greek and Arab words and origins as well as Roman( Latin), there is a small number of other influences, but the language was built upon the original Iberian people and then the influences from Roman and Greek and Arab, etc.

You are close. Meteore took their name from the ancient (and modern) greek adjective Meteoros (Μετέωρος) which denotes something or someone that is floating above the sky (like a cloud). Space Meteors took their name from old Frenceh "meteore" which came from Latin "meteorum" which came from the same Greek word "Meteoros", so yeah those two words have the same origin.

For those who care for a bit more than the surface and what some other narrow minded people think they can "talk" say about ... their primitive and barbaric languages that did not even exist 100 years ago, here is one comment of mine, which was in regard to the Genesis of intelligence nature. EVERYTHING THAT MEANS START OR BEGINNING, starts with A(LPHA), which stands as first letter for all the languages of the western civilization (the fist sound a baby makes when is born, the ΑΕΡΑΣ (AERAS, AIR) the ΑΥΓΗ (AYGI, DAWN), ΑΥΓΟ (AVGO, EGG) ΑΡΧΗ (ARCHI, START) etc. etc. etc. L(AMDA), stands for "smooth" flaw ... S(IGMA) stands for everything (ENERGY) that "vibrates", fluctuates harmonically (e.g. as a Sinusoidal function of which it has the symbol) (similar functions N and M, sinusoidal functions with different period or directions) without which the energy of the words and speech do not pass to the cavity of the brain (try spelling M, N, S). Considering the ability of the Hellenic language to "generate", through mathematical logic process, algorithms and symbolism, lets see what these 3 letters (ideas) can form (in the same fashion as Boolean Algebra works). The result is : ΑΛΣ, (ALS), =SEA (THALASSA) VAST MASS OF WATERΛΑΣ ΛΑΣ (LAS) LAS=SOLID EARTH, STONEΣΑΛ ΣΑΛ (SAL)=SOLID EARTH SOLVED IN THE FIRSTIn other words with these three very ancient letters/symbols you can describe with mathematical accuracy the Genesis of ΓΑΙΑ-ΓΗ (GΑΙΑ, ΕΑΡΤΗ) as your function says EARTH(SOLID), SEA (LIQUID) and SALT (solid dissolved in the water) are the first elements from which it has started? So, did such a great degree of knowledge and understanding existed before humans developed "intelligence" or that was developed after, with the time ? BUT, in this case how the language develop in such an organized, mathematical and cross correlated manner ? because if you "remove" these prime letters and words (KEYS) this language will "crash" because it is based on higher intelligent, logic and math (and not on imitations of sounds like all other languages). FURTHERMORE, since the ancient Hellines were representing the numbers with letters of the Alphabet, each word (prime word) automatically equals to a number (if you add the number represented by each letter), which functions as the "parity check bit" and the CHECK SUM number in the digital data blocks used in today's computers (also related to my theory EN (1) and MH(Δ)ΕΝ, 0), which mean ONE and NEGATED ONE, THAT IS EXISTS and DOES NOT EXIST). This number is called ΛΕΞΑΡΙΤΗΜΟΣ (LEXARITHMOS... You could say "not such a big deal you can do the same with other langauges" BUT.... the "funny" thing is that all words associated with the same prime "idea" have THE SAME LEXARITHMOS (NUMBER).... how that could be? (Note: if the words you are using have not the same number then you are making a grammatical and/or conceptional error). MORE "FUNNY" is that the same applies to ALL PRIME LETTERS, e.g. all words having a meaning of (non control able, brutal) "force" start with B (BIA, which is exactly that "non control able, brutal force" (and is formed by actively by the lips, teeth, tongue and forced exhaling), all words associated with procreation start with Γ, γ (ΓAMA, GAMA), e.g. ΓΥΝH (woman) and the letter GAMA (γ) has the shape of the female ovary tubes), ΓΕΝΟΣ, GENOS, GENEA, GENETIC, GENES (today this is called DNA), GASTRO, etc. etc. Δ (ΔΕΛΤΑ, DELTA) leads all words meaning STRONG STATUS, STANDING (DYNAMIS) and the shape is indeed the shape of the most solid, and strong structure like the Pyramids (PYR+AMIS= CONTAINER OF ENERGY), EΨΙΛΟΝ (EPSILON is the symbol for the flaw of high to vast energy but controllable (three horizontal lines,with a vertical control line) and ... surprize ? it leads ALL the words associated with (controllable) FLAW OF ENERGY (and is also the symbol of Apolo (Faethon) on the entrance of the his temple in Delfoi), Z (similar to N see bellow) H (HΛΙΟΣ, HELLIOS, SUN = flaw of energy in on direction, rays not strongly together -not like E, neither like X -see bellow) to letters, symbols defining man made activities (K, KTYPOS (pounding something with something else), KATASEYH (construct), KTIZO (built), M (harmonic/sinusoidal wave (one period and a quarter length λ/4), N (harmonic/sinusoidal wave (one period), OMIKRON (defined space, relatively small space vs OMEGA which defines the "large space" and in modern math is the symbol of infinity, and so on with Π(PYLH, GATE, PATEA, PALLAS), Ρ, (ROH, FLAW) Σ (line M but in the Z axis, Τ (as in K) YPSILON leading ALL that can hold, contain other matters (liquid, air, or small(er) size solids and is also the letter for YDOR (Water, Li quit gift -of life), to the amazing in concept X, standing for the dynamic, energy lines from a center to the outer space (XAOS (Chaos), Xoros (Space), XAROS (Charos, Hades) to XARA (an emotion -of hapiness but not exactly) that "radiates from one "point" (the self existence of a living creature) and radiates to the outside..... I can expand in more details but am giving some thought for your further investigation. It all may be by "coincidence" ... but it doesn't look like it. Because "development" or "evolution" is the process that starts from "almost nothing" or very little, or basic resources and increase, improvement comes with "time" (also a wrong concept as in fact it only means "Δt" (difference of time between point A and point B and is always positive (thus the obviously wrong "theories" for time Zero +, or negative or time traveling etc. are just as STIPID ideas as the sound and look and so is the"space-time"), while GENESIS (the joint of an "invading"program (DNA, that is the sperm) " with an internal /resident program (the"egg") THAT -as the scientists say - IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION OF MANY LIBRARIES ALL TOGETHER). The HELLENIC language has started at a VERY HIGH LEVEL (ORHICS, ISIOD, HOMER, ARISTOTELES call for the PERFECT language they received from the (VERY) ANCIENTS/ANCESTORS and (they !!! were disrespectful to and abusing it, after 3000 years.... the modern language is in a really bad shape, but fortunately -like the DNA has "memory" and is constantly GENERATING (even re-generating itself). This can happen only if it was "infused" and not "developed". Just my ideas. FURTHERMORE, for the last 20-25 years, we are also studying by x-rays and thermography, the geography the shape of the organs and also the shape /graph of the heat /blood distribution of the voice/sound producing organs during the pronunciation of each prime letter individually as there seems to be a relation with the shape-form of the letters. The scientific experiments are ongoing for quite some years now, there is definite indications but is too early to publish a paper on that and we are missing a lot of information from the past (as to regard of the forms of the prime letters, DEFINITELY indigenous (NOT "imported) as by proven mathematical accuracy and precision is proved. Any "contribution" is welcomed. Having said that, can there be ANY QUESTION ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF THIS TOOL OF COMMUNICATION BY-BETWEEN INTELLIGENT CREATURES ? CAN THERE BE ANYTHING CLOSE TO IT'S OBVIOUS DIVINE SUPERIORITY ? COULD IT BE DEVELOPED BY "ORDINARY HUMAN BEINGS" ? AND ALL WE KNOW ABOUT IT IS ONLY BY LESS THAN 1% OF THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE ANCIENT TIMES (that is several thousand years before most of the others were as you know they were ... (and some still are, even if and when they write as they do here) ? OFF COURSE it can !!! every one can say anything that cross their minds. What matters is if that LOGOS is also LOGICAL thus to be E LOG ON E=Ell(in), LOG(O) Logos (speech) + Logic(al), ON (human being), that is HUMAN - INTELLIGENT/LOGIC- BEING (if not, you are dealing with a non logic(al) being, A-LOGON which is the ANIMAL (e.g. horse).

Don't forget that 90% of the old population at that time in Epirus were Pelasgians/ Albanians and 10% Helens. (after osmanic registers) The old Sanskrit Language was based on the Albanian Language, old Greek and Latin too. Sanskrit, old Greek and Latin are dead languages, from the old languages is alive only the Albanian Language, it has strong roots. It is the cosmic language, close to the ancient symbols. You find all the symbols on the albanian folkloric costumes too. Leibniz and others dreamed to create an universal language, but this is not possible, because the universal language - Albanian Language - exists.

[@atlantis52002]

thatboyfromnextdoor It’s not way off! I have a Greek background myself and can safely say that Spanish sound extremely similar to Greek phonetically and even sometimes lexically! I assume your not Greek yourself?!

All Mediterranean languages are similar due to Greek influence in ancient times and of course because of the climate.

Is it weird for me to find this language easy to learn just by hearing it first time I can already pronounce that right?

[@evawertz201]

It's very difficult for conjugation, grammar, and writing, and reading overall. I'm fluent and give up on trying to put the correct e, there's five, and most of the time you have to guess lol. But if you really try I think you would enjoy it.

'evviva' is italian, from latin. (most possibly latin 'viva' = life is from greek 'βίος' = life)

There are many similarities with Sanskrit. Yassou in Sanskrit means good luck. It is pronounced as "Yasho" or "Yashas". And Antio in Sanskrit means The end. It is pronounced as "Anthya".

[@ultrasgreen1349]

unfortuntaely Antio is a loan from Italian to modern Greek and not an original Greek word. Yassou or comes from the expression "Stin Ygeia sou"-->"Ygeia sou"-->"Geia sou" which is pronounced Yassou. But despite al those Sanskrit and ancient Greek have extremely many commonalities.

Does the 'D' have a 'V' sound or is it just me?

No it's actually the voiced th sound like you hear in words like "there". How ever V and voiced th do sound very similar.

Γεια σου (Yassou)=Hello

[@gapamint]

Εις την υγεία σου (to your (good) health) which degraded to what you just wrote. It is used as "hellos" as well, but the proper word for it is "χαίρετε" (chairete), which the Romans used as hail (and so did later the Germans). The proper use for Yassou is when you raise your glass to drink (cheers)

In Polish it's SOBOTA

[@sto_karfi842]

Latin is sister language with the greek, a different language but identical to the greek.And after centuries of coexistence in the same state, the two languages formed a ton of commons, even though Sabato is aramaic or Hebrew or something like that...
