Similarities Between Greek and Armenian

How similar are Greek and Armenian? They are both language isolates that began on very close branches of the Indo-European family before evolving separately. Aside from common words, as two distinct Indo-European languages, they share many traits. Armenians and Greeks also share many historical and cultural similarities which has had an impact on their languages as well.

Greek (ελληνικά) is an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages with a written record of over 3,000 years, easily making it the oldest documented Indo-European language. The Greek alphabet, originating from the Phoenician script, was the basis of numerous other scripts, such as Latin, Cyrillic, Coptic, Gothic, and Armenian. The Greek language has virtually impacted other languages in every corner of the world, being an important component of Western civilization, the Christian religion, and the language of some of the fundamental texts of science, astronomy, and mathematics. The Greek language today holds official status in Greece and Cyprus, and is recognized as a minority language in Albania, Armenia, Hungary, Italy, Romania, and Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Armenian language is the official language of Armenia and is widely spoken throughout the Armenian diaspora.

Hey Bahador really like your language videos(and also the Persian culture-especially the video about Nowruz) hope to meet you one day, if I get to Canada. By the way Enneas, is the name of the escaped trojan who founded, what will become the Roman Empire(Enneid-written by Vergilius). Thus if you read the Iliad by Homer, you will have the saying" I fear the Greeks, even when they give us gifts".

Okay, here's what I was able to pick up with Turkish: όνομα (onoma): nam (probably from Persian, and it means 'reputation' rather than name) εκκλησία (ekklesia): kilise (means exactly the same, church) χουρμάς (chourmas): hurma (date, the fruit) ωκεανός (okeanos): okyanus (ocean) Κύπρος (Kypros): Kıbrıs (Cyprus) σαπούνι (sapouni): sabun (soap) It's so nice to have things in common with these languages.

[@georgios_5342]

Όνομα doesn't come from Persian, nam might be related to our through Proto-Indo-European. Όνομα is a very ancient Greek word that means name.

[@driheart]

"nam" is a word in Albanian. It means "fame" or "reputation" (as you mentioned for Turkish), and often it has the negative meaning like "bad reputation". I think it might be from Proto-Indo-European. 🤔 I didn't know that Turkish also had that word with such similar meaning. :o

[@yigitaganoglu188]

@@driheart I think you're right. The word 'nam', by definition, is quite neutral. It's just someone's reputation. But, in colloquial speech, it does have a negative connotation. For example, in Turklish, you could say "Yes, we've all heard his nam" which can be translated as "We've all heard what a jerk he is". Interesting ... :)

[@driheart]

@@yigitaganoglu188 Yes, interesting indeed. I forgot to mention that it could be replaced by the word for "name" in Albanian which is "emër" in a sentence like "He is a singer with name." (Literally) which means "He is a known/famous singer." similar to the use of "name" in English for reputation as in words/phrases like "big name". Just checking checking the Oxford Dictionary gives the definitions of "name" which include "reputation that somebody has" and "a famous person".

[@driheart]

According to Wiktionary, I found that Turkish "nam" is borrowed from Persian "nâm". Well, Persian is a Indo-European language so... Looking to it further, I saw that Persian "nâm", Albanian "emër", Greek "ónoma" and English "name" come from the same Proto-Indo-European root. I guess in Albanian there were formed 2 words from the same root or possibly we got "nam" through Ottoman Turkish. 😁

I just came across this video, and although I’m learning both languages at an elementary level, I could get a few words and had really no idea Armenian and Greek shared so many common words 😄 Barev dzez, anuns Kent e, urakh’yem tsanot’analu hamar 🙏🏻💙 Για σας, το όνομα ναι είμαι Κεντ, Χάρηκα για την γνωριμία 🙏🏻💙

Basically perfect. Only one letter mistake. It's the one in Urakh em. The E does have a Y but we don't say the Y when it comes to a particle after a word such as "Urakh em, lav em, es em, du es, es el em" and so on. Your knowledge is very impressive for an elementary level.

I love this video because I am an Armenian, but my paternal family lived in Greece(In the town of Kalamata) from 1915 to 1947. They then repatriated to Soviet Armenia but never forgot the kindness of the Greek people towards the refugee Armenians from the Ottoman Empire. My late grandparents knew Greek quite well since they grew up there and Ive always had a fondness for the Greek culture and language since I am friends with many Greek people here in America. I hope to one day visit Greece and I still have family who lives there in Athens ...🇦🇲🇬🇷

[@user-uo9lq2qo3z]

Yes, there are many other similarities, but there romaine lettuce are called "Hazar" or "Hazari tertikner", we use "Marol" in conversation. We also use the word "Kef" in conversation, in literary armenian it's called "Zvarc'anq". And Carpet is "Gorg". P.s. Sorry for my bad English I'm only 12.😕
