Okra polarizes opinions, for those who love it, they can eat okra for all three meals, while for those who detest it, like myself,even thinking about the name "okra" immediately scares

I heard κιμάς and immediately thought of keema, which is an Indian dish of ground meet. Looks like it comes from Ottoman Turkish kıymak which is the noun form of a verb meaning to mince or slaughter., but at what point this crosses Hindi I was unable to find. Undoubtably related.

0:30 wow!!! "Thígame" in greek meaning "let's go" sounds so similar to Spanish: "sígame" which means "let's go", too 🙊😨😱🙈 and btw, Greek sounds so similar to Spanish from Spain 🙊😍💚💛 I love listening to this language! Greetings from Argentina 💙

[@Clemjason14]

In Greek it's more "Fugame" (with a regular F)... But you are right, the general phonology of Greek and Spanish are strikingly similar. A spanish native speaker will get very fast a very good prononciation in Greek (except maybe for the "v" sound).

Interesting topic! 😀👍🏾 Even more interesting is I see a lot of Greeks don’t like lentils, okra or legumes. I guess they can rule out many Indian dishes! 😓

[@cubicle89]

Yes, not to mention most Greeks can't touch spicy food. I LOVE Indian food because I like all legumes and spicy food. Actually that's a nice topic for a video -- 'can you handle spicy food?'

[@jaskatpon1]

Dimitris Hall Yes That’s a good topic! Am sure many Greeks wouldn’t like spicy food like you. 😜 I would love to try Greek food but sadly we don’t have a Greek restaurant in my town. I heard it’s very healthy and tasty 😋. Thank you for your reply and all your interesting videos!

[@cgtm1l3n13m]

Lentils, okra and legumes are a big part of the traditional Greek diet, some preparations even include spices such as cumin and are often drizzled with olive oil and have fresh lemon juice squeezed into them, but most don’t have a quarter of spice that the sub continent cuisine has. However, the fact that it relates to the foods the old grandmas forced fed their grandchildren especially in the 40 day lent fasting periods turns off many young people! Bad, horrible memories for them, it’s either love or hate for Greeks with legumes!

[@Kar90great]

@@cgtm1l3n13m so basically you guys eat vegetables, meat and bread I guess... Rice is also not part of Greek food I think

[@cgtm1l3n13m]

@@Kar90great rice is quite minimal but the reduction method of cooking using short, medium or long grain white rice is used by some of the old school cooks as a plate filler, no doubt a little bland for sub continental people. Rice is absolutely used in stuffed vegetable fillings, included in some soups and even in stuffings for chicken and whole animals cooked on spits sometimes. Some variants of pilaf do feature in the Greek kitchen. A classic sweet for the Greeks which is common in many cultures is rice pudding. Though, all in all, rice is not widespread traditional enough to be called a staple and Greek cuisine would not be likely to satisfy someone used to rice with every meal. Weird fact, typically Greeks throw rice at the bride and groom when they leave the church instead of confetti which is common in most of the west.

"Let's go" is "zigame" in Greek? In Spanish it's "sígame" (literally "follow me). It must be a loanword, interesting

[@Clemjason14]

No, in Greek it is pronounced "Figame", with a regular F. It literally means "we just have departed". It comes from Ancient Greek φυγω (fygo), which shares the same etymological root with the latin "fugere", and for instance the word "fuga" in Spanish (and also from there comes the verb "huir" in Spanish, "fuir" in French). It originally meant "to escape, to flee" in Ancient Greek, but in modern Greek it means "to leave, to go away".

[@thepalegod8150]

@@Clemjason14 latin was profoundly influenced by greek

[@Clemjason14]

@@thepalegod8150 Yes I know, but in this case φυγω and fugo just come from the same indo-european root. It is not a question of influence form one language on the other here.

@@Clemjason14 well in this case verb φεύγω is of ancient greek roots with no indication of PIE-pre greek roots, but yes generally greek has many words with common roots to PIE but dont forget the PIE is hypothetical and many scholars reject it while greek is one of the most well documented languages in the world
