Türkler de ikilemeyi çok kullanır. Bazen aynı iki kelimeyi yan yana, bazen de sesleri benzeyen iki kelimeyi yan yana kullanır. Örneğin "çoluk çocuk", "eğri büğrü", "fısır fısır", "haşır huşur", "çabuk çabuk", "sabah sabah", "taze taze",... O kadar çok ki...

[@espiritufati]

This is the type of lessons i CRAVE!!! THANK YOU🎉

[@smadm2437]

Am french & greek (yay!) and in french, we double the first syllable when we emphasise how cute something is, eg, bébête (an animal), toutou (dog), fifille (a girl). Great things come in 2 (not 3! 😊). In Bahasa Indonesia, the plural is created by doubling nouns. Learning languages is fun ! Love the examples as you explain the words. Μπράβο παιδιά.

[@EasyGreekVideos]

I love the idea that the plural of nouns is the same word but double!

[@subarashiistudios5203]

I find that a lot of languages (including Thai - my mother tongue) have this feature. Also, hopefully I can see a Q&A with the second team as well. All awesome people need origin stories

[@EasyGreekVideos]

Which team are you referring to as second?

[@subarashiistudios5203]

The team with Chrysalena and co.

[@EasyGreekVideos]

@@subarashiistudios5203 Unfortunately we don't work with them anymore. We've gone through lots of "second teams." 🥲

[@tomedwards4297]

"Πλάκα πλάκα" is actually very similar to the English phrase "Funny you mention it..." or "Funny that you say that..." which use this idea of 'funny' to the same effect.

[@EasyGreekVideos]

Yes, hadn't thought of that! Πλάκα πλάκα is used slightly differently, for example, one can use πλάκα πλάκα at oneself, but yeah they're similar.

[@ladty6889]

@@EasyGreekVideos Sounds like the correct equivalent is "funnily enough, ....." --- you use funnily enough to indicate that, although something is surprising, it is true or really happened. You also wouldn't use it after a friend tells you "oh my cat just died" ^.^

[@EasyGreekVideos]

​@@ladty6889 Hmmm... Would "it's cold" - "Funnily enough, I forgot my jacket" work? Maybe, right?

[@ladty6889]

@@EasyGreekVideos weeeeell, I guess I wouldn't say it out of the blue like that (maybe yes but I guess more in some broader lighthearted context), but I wouldn't find it weird if I herd it, so, .. maybe/kinda

[@ShapleyThinMint]

“Σιγά σιγά” reminds me a lot of the midwestern “well, I suppose” that’s used when thinking about or beginning to exit a social gathering of any kind

[@BytheSea-gf1yi]

Growing up, we kids thought it was hilarious when my Greek-American mom would say things like "we have to get up early-early," or that the sky was "blue-blue." She wasn't even that fluent in Greek. But I guess some of the Greek syntax transferred straight into her English. We didn't tease her too much, though, because she did make a delicious tourlou-tourlou. :)

[@Titi-fl9eu]

Enjoying your videos a lot, thank you ! A suggestion for a new one : something with the expressions for time, from "never" to "always", including "sometimes", "from time to time", "once in a lifetime", "frequently", "every day", etc.

[@EasyGreekVideos]

Adverbs of frequency! Yes I've been thinking of doing that one for a long time. Thanks!

Νομίζω ότι το «μάνι μάνι» προέρχεται από τη Σουηδία: εκεί πέρα, μπορεί κάνεις να ακούσει συχνά την έκφραση «μάνι μάνι μάνι, it’s a richmen’s world».

Χαχα κι εγώ το σκέφτομαι αυτό συχνά

[@EnlightenedExistence]

Could you turn on the automatic translator for the videos?

[@EasyGreekVideos]

What do you mean? On top of the existing subtitles?

[@EnlightenedExistence]

@@EasyGreekVideos In the details of the uploaded video in the "Language and Subtitles Certification" section, select the Greek language. This allows for automatic subtitle translation, so if you don't know English, you can follow along from Greek to Spanish or Greek to Italian, and many other languages

[@nownessy]

I'm a new sub.. the episode I saw was with three subs. Why no more with 3 subs? As new learner in Greek, it's more helpful with 3 subs.

[@EasyGreekVideos]

Those are for the real beginners, the Super Easy Greek episodes (and really only some of them). If you're watching this one I'm assuming you're comfortable at least reading Greek.

What is different between “Diladi” and “Loipon”☺️?

[@EasyGreekVideos]

Δηλαδή = "In other words", Λοιπόν = "So, well" But "λοιπόν" can also mean "in other words" if placed at the end of senses.

ποτέ δεν άκουσα το μάνι μάνι ως ήδη. Εγώ το ξέρω ως γρήγορα γρήγορα αλλά και λίγο απρόσεχτα. Δηλαδή μην περιμένεις ποιότητα από κάτι που έγινε μάνι μάνι.

@@EasyGreekVideos η μάνα μου έλεγε στον πατέρα μου όταν έκανε κάτι γρήγορα αλλά απρόσεκτα, ότι το έκανε φρου φρου. Κυρίως όταν μια γρήγορη απόφαση έβγαινε λανθασμένη.

Guys, when you explain something, please try to explain it FIRST slowly in simple Greek, and ONLY AFTER THAT go on with casual chat

[@EasyGreekVideos]

We do that on our Super Easy videos (we've been publishing lots of "slow Greek" videos recently also). On regular Easy Greek we just speak normally. You can lower the speed on KZbin if that's too fast.
