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.
Romanian (limba română) is a Balkan Romance language within the Italic branch of the Indo-European family. It is spoken primarily in Romania and Moldova where it is the official language, in addition to being one of the official languages of the European Union. Having evolved from different Vulgar Latin dialects, Romanian is a part of the Eastern Romance sub-branch of Romance languages. Within the group, the language is called Daco-Romanian in order to distinguish it from Aromanian, Megleno-Romanian and Istro-Romanian.

I must say i did not expect that Greek and Romanian would have many common words. I am impressed :-) Very good job by the way. Just one slight correction i would like to make. The word "πάπλωμα" (paploma) in greek is actually used mostly for a "duvet" and not blanket. The word for blanket that we use in Greece is "κουβέρτα" (kuverta).

[@Games-hn3ys]

Hi. Same in romanian... kuverta in romanian is cuvertura or patura (blanket). Another weird thing, your island Lemnos and Delos in romanian is wooden island and hill island.

[@stratvar]

@@Games-hn3ys Well it does make sense. The word we use for blanket is a loan word from the venetian dialect of Italian and since Romanian is also a Romance language, you have it too. What is fascinating though is that Lemnos and Delos have completely different meanings in greek (ancient greek to be exact) than what you said in Romanian. Lemnos is produced by a word which means "rich plains" and Delos from a word which means "visible" or "revealed". I always find it interesting when something has a completely different meaning in other languages. My greetings to Romania.

[@albinh.3149]

@@stratvar I think many words that are similar in greek and romanian are from Albanian origin. Since Albanian (Illyrian) was between romanian (Dacian) and greek (ancient greek). They influenced each other.. ^^

There are also some Romanian words of Greek origin that are not present in Bulgarian, mostly earlier borrowings, some of which entered the language through Vulgar Latin, like mic=small, proaspăt=fresh, cuib=nest. Words borrowed directly from Greek and not present in any other language seem to be relatively rare, but I know the word folos (utility) is definitely in this category.

[@UlpianHeritor]

@@jibran4794 I'm not sure. Prince Charles is related to Vlad the Impaler, so anything is possible. But I personally think that there is no relation between the English Tudors and the Romanian name "Tudor". It most likely is just a coincidence (unless proven otherwise). Edit: upon further research I determined that the etymology of the English family "Tudor" likely comes from Welsh "Tutir" which ultimately is the welsh name for "Theodor". So it seems the Romanian "Tudor" and English "Tudor" are related after all but they developed independently from separate sources and coincidentally morphed into the same spelling.

Romanian singular Cărămida(kэrэmida) pl. Cărămizi (kэrэmizi) is used for RED bricks and the color Cărămiziu (kэrэmiziu) means rusty/terracotta color. In Turkish "kirmizir" is color red.

[@dimitrioskazaglias]

Actually the word derives from the ancient greek word "κέραμος" (kèramos) which means a clay structure like a vase or a brick and this word is a product noun for the Greek verb κεράννυμι (keránnymi) which translates to I build, I mix, I increase, I construct! Derives from the Proto-Indoeuropean root (kerh²). 🙂

Nice job! I see you're getting better :) Just one thing, though: "Zahar" comes originally from Arabic, and has been incorporated by both Greek and Romanian. The same is valid for "sârmă”, which was taken from the Turkish ”sirma”. ”Cărămidă”, which is again a loanword from Turkish (kiremit), which is supposed to have been taken by the Turks from the Persian ”qermez”. This one also has an interesting variant in Romanian, ”cârmâz”, meaning ”red dye”.

[@stavrostziounis4756]

Caramida or keramida in Greek is not a loan world from Turkish. It is an ancient Greek world. It is used in ancient Greek historical text about how the King of Epirus Pyrros was killed in a battle because a woman threw a keramida(roof tile) in his head.

[@xoneirox]

This is fascinating. Lots of love to our Balkan people. I watched the episode of Albanian and Rumanian as well and realized how connected we have been through out history. Some words I understood such as Mide (mussels), and Fusta (Dress). In Albanian we say Midhe, and Fustan. Midhe probably comes from Albanian Me - Dhe (With - Sand), and Fustan from Albanian Fus - Tan (Fit - All). Don't mean to start some Balkan nationalism here as many of the words I don't see a connection, but shows how much our cultures have intertwined through out the millleania. ☮️❤️

But there are also natural features like : bolovan, deal, izvor, peșteră, poiană, prăpastie, zare, zori etc. And even body parts like : trup, gleznă, gât, obraz!

[@roatskm2337]

@mugur de fluier Ok look there are different explanations for the true origins of those words, my opinion is izvor is slavic because we have the same word and maybe the verb also comes from that root word, I know that rat is pluh(not plunk), but maybe this is an old slavic word that you took, zapada and omat are both slavic too, zapada in Bulgarian literally means ''falling down'' - the snow that falls down, and omat is also old, but slavic, ogar too, albanians also took this form the slavic people, lopata is truly slavic, albanian and hungarians borrowed it from the slavic people too like you, gasca I know is a common indoeuropean word, but maybe you just took that word from the slavic people, I guess, cocos is slavic, (cocosca in bulgarian) and cheek in bulgarian is Chovka, this maybe not have connection to romanian indeed but I wanna say at all that you borrowed a lot of words from the slavic languages (around 15% of the romanian vocabulary is slavic) and from old Bulgarian too(for ex. the romanian word for sand is Nisip - from the old Bulgarian word Nasip) and even you had the cyrillic script before, this is just a facts, is visible that you haved an extensive contact with slavic speakers! All of that is my opinion for the words, and actually this is the most popular theories for their origin, so I just say, but it's possible to have and exceptions and different explanations yeah, I'm not an expert, just saying my opinion so don't get annoyed please! :)

@mugur de fluier "Obraz" is a Slavic word, Russians have it too. "Izvor" is a Slavic word too, according to all our dictionaries. I didn't read the whole list, but I think you exaggerate a little bit with your etymologies (some are correct, but not all).

Hello. Glad to see someone other than the same guy representing the Romanian language. Now, as for the video. We don't say "plicticos", we say "plictisitor". Relatively recent Greek words that came to Romania and Romanian language through the Church, especially in the Byzantine period. The latest theories confirm that in fact the ancient Greeks were influenced by proto-Romanians (Greek gods of Geto-Dacian origin: Dionysos, Gebeleizis, Derzelas, Bendis, etc.) which is why there are still Aromanians, Megleno-Romanians and Macedo-Romanians in Greece and neighbouring countries, as a sign that we were aborigines and the Greeks and Slavs are colonizers. But this is another story that is not accepted by most Romanian and European academics.
