[@Nathan00at78Uuiu]

i really like the font for the greek. What is it? makes it so clean and clear to see.

[@GreekForAll]

It looks like I put Greek into Times New Roman (as far as I remember). In my recent videos I switched to Gabriola, Accordance, and a few other fonts. So thanks for your feedback, I may reconsider and go back.

[@leobyrne4671]

When can I buy the greekquest DVD? The website says coming soon. Can you tell me how soon at all please? Thanks.

[@GreekForAll]

Hello Leo, You asked a very good question. It's a big project which takes me too long to complete. Honestly. It's like that unfinished tower in the middle of the vineyard. So, I just requested 3 months off purposefully to finish the Greek Quest course. March-Apr-May I'm working on it full time. By God's grace, I hope to complete it some time in May.

[@leobyrne4671]

Greek For All thanks for your reply. I look forward to purchasing your great DVD! God give you speed and skill and grace.

[@GreekForAll]

Almost done! Striving to finish in oct. Realistically in Nov. worst case scenario December. :)

[@stevelenores5637]

I probably get the full course at some point. Any chance they'll offer a discount in the future?

[@kramsdrawde8159]

I have been through d.a.black and b. mounce and have yet to understand well the imperfect/aorist 2nd aorist and my teacher is too busy to tutor me, your course will be my next attempt to move on from these tenses... Please drop me a link for the cost of course...etc.

[@GreekForAll]

Thank you for your trust. Those tenses are not as hard as they seem. You can watch more free videos on my KZbin channel, and when you are ready here is the link to my course: greekforall.com/greek-quest/ One time payment. Enrollment never expires. I will also be happy to answer your Greek questions if you have any. Blessings.

[@kagishotsoka3770]

Thanks so much for your videos, they are helpful. Why do you pronounce και as "kai" and not "keh"?

[@GreekForAll]

It is standard Erasmus/Koine pronunciation.

[@UnbiasedSports]

Can you answer why there are two subjects in this passage. Joseph and Jesus. thx [Mat 1:16] And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

[@GreekForAll]

This sentence has 2 main verbs (so two clauses), that’s why there should be 2 subjects. 1. Jacob is the subject of the first clause 2. The 2nd clause has no explicit subject but it is implied in Joseph (as you noticed). Jesus is not the subject of the 2nd clause but a predicate nominative. It is the intermediate Greek (syntax) where we learn that nominatives can play other roles besides being the subject. The words “to be” and “to become” (ginomai) require 2 nominatives: one is subject another one is predicate. Here Joseph is subject, Jesus is predicate. Check Daniel Wallace syntax book “Greek beyond the basics” the chapter on nominative case, subtitle “predicate nominative.” All the best.

[@diynilakay777]

Pls. Can you answer. . How does a period or a full stop, dot written in old greek or the original language of the bible

[@GreekForAll]

The original Greek manuscripts of the Bible have NO punctuation (no commas, periods, question marks and etc). They were added by scribes centuries later.

[@diynilakay777]

@@GreekForAll but Jesus said this MATTHEW 5:18 (KJV) For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

[@GreekForAll]

@@diynilakay777 as I said, all punctuation was added later by scribes. The period (full stop) was written exactly the same way it is written in English

[@onyenmaprincechizaram1719]

I still have alot of difficulties

[@carolberry3]

Hello my friend what is the Greek word for the number 821 x

[@GreekForAll]

Hello Carol, your question is interesting and a little tricky. First, I only specialize in Koine Greek. Second, there is no ONE single word for the number 821, same as in English, it is a combination of several words. Third, number one has a gender, thus, can be Masc, Fem, or Neuter. I also specialize in working with ancient texts with Greek into English translations and not the other way around. I haven't encountered the numbers 821 in the manuscripts I work with yet. In this light, I can provide my best educated "answer-guess" (otherwise, contact modern Greek specialists): the numbers 821 could be written as ΩKA (Ω=800, K=20, A=1), second way: ὀκτακόσιοι εἴκοσι εἷς. Why did you ask this question?

[@carolberry3]

greekforall oh thank you for your reply x I wanted to know if the number symbolised a biblical meaning thank you for your time ❤️

[@Giotastylou]

How sb with such an accent can help people learn it? This is not even the pronunciation of letters or words. I am Greek for gods sake this is killing the language. How dare.

[@BiblicalStudiesandReviews]

@@Giotastylou I’m trying to switch over to modern pronunciation. It’s difficult but I think it’s the right way to go.

[@raysalmon6566]

well maybe not related but the church really needs to teach its people church history and greek it can't be just seminary 42 when a person loses a limb to amputation very often almost in a high proportion of the cases after the surgery the person will tell the surgeon i still feel my hand it's still there and and they can look at it look at the stump and see that it's gone and that it's an illusion they know consciously consciously that it's an illusion but they have this intuitive certainty that their hand is still there this is called the phantom limb and it's i'm sure many of our listeners have heard about it it's been written about a lot bc it is such a common phenomenon and such a striking phenomenon is this bc you've always felt that limb and so you don't know how to not feel normal yet you haven't you haven't learned Aron Ra The Phantom God
