Το Βικιλεξικό λέει ότι "τρεισκαίδεκα" είναι την αρχαία ελληνική λέξη που σημαίνει δεκατρείς/-τρία στα νέα ελληνικά. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/τρεισκαίδεκα#Ancient_Greek

[@EasyGreekVideos]

Μας έβαλες τα γυαλιά! Αυτή η έκφραση σημαίνει ότι μας διόρθωσες ή έκανες κάτι πολύ καλύτερα από εμάς. ;)

[@pierregrangier2731]

That's why greek (ancient and modern as well) is the best language to understand etymology. Most fascinating language ever, definitely

[@concretetoy54]

triskaidekaphobia is named this way for Greek people with this phobia to be able to use this word, because this way it doesn't contain "thirteen" itself ;)

[@EasyGreekVideos]

Haha I love this!

Thankyou for another great video. These are the best videos for learning Greek that I have found. I was beginning to think that there weren’t any and that everyone speaks much too fast. Now I have found you I will tell everyone in my Greek class. Thankyou.

Arithmophobia is the fear or prejudice concerning specific numbers. It's not about all the numbers. It is a more severe case of "lucky/unlucky" numbers, like some people believe that when the single-digit sum of the numbers of the date are a specific number (let's say "5"), something bad will happen. A better example, is the movie titled "Number 23" with Jim Carrey.

[@EasyGreekVideos]

So treiskaidekaphobia is really a very specific sort of arithmophobia!

[@manorueda1432]

Γεια σας! 🤗 Οι περισσότερες από αυτές τις λέξεις χρησιμοποιούνται αμετάβλητες στην Ισπανία! Η λέξη claustrophobia (claustrofobia στα ισπανικά) είναι ένα μείγμα λατινικών και ελληνικών: claustrum + φοβία. 👍☺️ Δεν ξέρω γιατί έχει αυτό το μείγμα...

[@EasyGreekVideos]

Πολλοί νεολογισμοί (λέξεις πιο σύγχρονες που χρησιμοποιούν σαν βάση λατινικά και ελληνικά) μερικές φορές τις μπλέκουν. Εδώ έχουμε μια λίστα: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_word

Love the idea of a fear of shopping - I think I have this. Maybe it would be αγοραζοφοβία or ψωνιαφοβία!

Thank you for the wonderful videos! I LOVE them! Can you please make a video about the interrogative pronoun "Whose"

[@rdlibnyc]

In English, why is it CLAUStrophobia? we have combined Greek and Latin (of course!) The term claustrophobia comes from Latin claustrum "a shut in place" and Greek φόβος, phóbos, "fear".

[@EasyGreekVideos]

Thank you for the explanation!

[@georgedretakis1271]

Also in Greek, we have the word: "κλείστρο", pronounced as klistro, which translates: shutter. So, claustro definitely derives from this word

[@kristypapa7444]

I think is greek origin klino κλείνω is verb close in ancient greek language is older than Latin Κλείω κληω klio . κλειδί key ,there are so many words that has klio esoklio apoklio etc

[@4400seriesFAN]

I would also like to add that, in the greek language, when a word comes BEFORE the "-philia", it means "sexual attraction, like "ζωοφιλία". When the word "philo/i" comes first, it means you like the thing the word is talking about, like "φιλοζωία", "φιλόζωος". Φιλόζωος means "the one who is friend with animals". Ζωόφιλος means "the one who fucks animals".

[@EasyGreekVideos]

We go into this in the video. -philia doesn't only mean sexual attraction, but all kinds of attraction, even to things like concepts and ideas. And ζωοφιλία can also be used to describe animal lovers more generally, just like φιλόζωος does. I don't know whether this use is erroneous, by the way...

[@4400seriesFAN]

Yes, I've watched the video. I'm just clearing this up because these two words got their meanings distorted over the years. People use the greek word for zoophilia as both normal and sexual attraction, because there is no alternative in english. But as far as greek goes, when the subject goes in front of the philia, it always means sexual attraction. People have this wrong, they use these two as interchangeable but they are not. :)

[@emohamed2943]

I studied ancient Greek language at university But I do not remember anything but the alphabet currently😀😁

[@waddahabdo7273]

Is it difficult?? I think to learn it??

[@stephanieanastasakis7181]

Hello and thank you for this video! It got me worried with the word that means love of animals so I asked my teacher. She said η φιλοζωία and η ζωοφιλία mean love and taking care of animals, protection of animals. and not in any weird ways! η κτηνοβασία is the weird one.

[@valrpz894]

hi, i hope you can solve my doubt : why the negation word δεν sometimes becomes δε? thank you!

[@EasyGreekVideos]

«Δεν» is used before words starting with a vowel or κ, π, τ, ντ, μπ, γκ, ξ, ψ. Every other consonant takes a «δε». Same with «μην» and «μη», «τον» and «το» (for male), «την» and «τη».

[@valrpz894]

@@EasyGreekVideos oh thank you so much! and is there a reason for this happening? pronunciation rules i guess

[@EasyGreekVideos]

@@valrpz894 Kind of. With some letter combinations it takes extra effort to pronounce that ν (for example: «μην μιλάς» as opposed to «μη μιλάς») so in the spoken word it's mostly not said at all. It seems small but it adds up fast. I think this rule has come to consolidate the spoken and written forms of the language.

[@EvanTheJust]

Στα αρχαία ελληνικά οι αριθμοί μετά το δέκα ήταν: Ένδεκα, Δώδεκα, Τρεισκαίδεκα, Τεσσερισκαίδεκα, πεντεκαίδεκα κ.ο.κ. όπως ακριβώς και στα Γερμανικά. Συνεπώς λογικά η λέξη Triskedekaphobia έχει τέτοια επιρροή.

[@thomassiegler9898]

Στα γερμανικά όμως δεν βάζουμε το "και" = "und" στη μέση ("dreizehn" και όχι "dreiundzehn"). Αυτό αρχίζει να συμβεί μόνο μετά το είκοσι, "einundzwanzig, zweiundzwanzig" κ.ο.κ.

paraskevidekatriaphobia ?

[@JawkneePruitt]

When my wife and I go out side in the sun we always ask each other....."Did you remember your Helio-Skopes"....... But we never wear our Helioskopes outside nocturnally.

[@EasyGreekVideos]

Hmm, interesting... where did you get this word? In Greek we wouldn't use this -skope unless it was an instrument we used to look at the sun directly!

[@JawkneePruitt]

​@@EasyGreekVideos I made up the word as a joke hahahahahah. What is the Greek word for "to pun"? I like to make puns allot so they call me the "Punisher" lololol.
