GREEK PRONUNCIATION 6 (The Nicene Creed)

The Nicene Creed - A Greek pronunciation exercise using the statement of faith adhered to by Christians. The Nicene Creed is called Nicene because it was originally adopted in the city of Nicaea by the First Council of Nicaea in AD 325.

Thanks Dr. Zachariou for spreading the Original modern Greek vs the incorrect Erasmian pronunciation. Could you please make another video for parsing the verbs of the Nicene Creed? Thanks God bless your teaching. Sam

Thanks for these great videos. I only came across them now. Could you read a small section of Plato's apology for a future video?

[@PhilemonZachariou]

Dear Vincent, Thank you for your good words. Your suggestion is being taken into consideration. -PZ

It is my pleasure, George. -PZ

[@PhilemonZachariou]

George, I appreciate your response and interest. If you view my video GREEK PRONUNCIATION 2 (Phonetics)-at around 6.20 minutes from start-you will notice the explanation that a voiced (vd) sound is one produced with the vocal cords in vibration, while a voiceless (vl) sound is one produced with the vocal cords at rest. It is true that you can detect voiceness/voicelessness by placing your finger on your throat while making such sounds-whether in Greek or in English, for that matter. Such details take time and space, though, so I do not include them in all videos. But I am glad that you've got your answer. By the way, the vd / vl distinction in pronouncing Greek words containing ευ, αυ, ηυ (ev, av, iv / ef, af, if) is in a way "automatic" in that the -υ part conforms by assimilation to the vd or vl sound that immediately follows. That means that you can pronounce, e.g., αὐτός aftos "he" or αὐλός avlos "flute" naturally, as it were, the right way. I suppose that just knowing the mechanics involved in such cases is just as important as being able to pronounce things correctly. All the best. -PZ

This video is a great blessing, thank you for taking the time to create it! Can I request you also help us with the Our Father? I would love it, and I'm sure many others would also. There are a few sections in this awesome prayer that I totally butcher with bad pronunciation. Καλή δύναμη και καλή συνέχεια αδερφέ!

[@PhilemonZachariou]

Dear Basil, I am delighted that you have found GREEK PRONUNCIATION 6 (The Nicene Creed) helpful. As for the prayer "Our Father" (Πάτερ Ἡμῶν), it is referred to in English as "The Lord's Prayer." Please go to KZbin and search for GREEK PRONUNCIATION 2 (Phonetics). You will be able to read and hear this prayer.at the end of the video. It is read first slowly, and then at regular speed. Blessings! -PZ

[@basils5037]

Hello Philemon, thank you for your reply! I found the video you suggested to help with proper pronunciation of the Lord's Prayer. It is very helpful! Thank you for your efforts. May our great and loving God continue to bless you abundantly brother!

What are your thoughts on the Filioque?

[@PhilemonZachariou]

I would only entertain questions related to Greek linguistic issues. Thank you. -PZ

[@GreekOrthodox7]

It’s a heresy.

[@Bellg]

Is this modern greek? Is this what is used in Orthodox divine liturgy in the Greek orthodox church?

[@PhilemonZachariou]

The Neohellenic ("Modern" Greek) pronunciation is the pronunciation used in the Orthodox Church today. The same pronunciation is also closest to the pronunciation used by the first Greek-speaking Christians, hence the pronunciation of New Testament times. The Nicene Creed in this video would have sounded quite normal to the first Greek-speaking Christians -PZ

[@GreekOrthodox7]

Modern Greek is pronounced the same as the Koine Greek of the New Testament. And yes this is what is used in the original Koine Greek Divine Liturgy of the Greek Orthodox Church since the first Christians.

The following comments were posted on Jan. 27, 2020 by Serkan Cetin, a dear Turkish Christian, but for some reason they were not visible under the "Comments" section of this video. Here they are, retrieved from my iPhone, copied and pasted as they were posted. Thank you dear Serkan! -PZ serkan cetin "God The Holy Trinity bless you Dear brother Philemon. The Nicene Creed is so important for us, for all Christians. I am Turkish Christian. And I believe that Our Lord & God Jesus Christ is the son of living God . Lord Jesus Christ is second hypostase of God. He is true Messiah for all humanity. I accept him as my Lord & God. He died on the cross & rised 3 days later. He is eternal mediator betweenGod Our Father & all nations throught the power of Holy Spirit. Jesus is God from God light from light . True God from true God. Jesus is not created ! He is co-creator with Our father and with the Holy Spirit . God is undivided Holy trinity. I am studiying Biblical Greek on my own for understanding the sacred mysteries of The New & eternal Covenant. Thank you for this video. Glory be to Uncreated Most Holy Trinity. Since the beginning & forever. Amen."
