Meanwhile as a Greek, the languages I can't stand even for a second listening is Brazilian Portuguese and Dutch. Normal Portuguese from Portugal is fine, though.

You'd be surprised to know that there are many languages in the world, with equivalents of this word.

@@gagarensesess No, not at all...

As an Argentinian wasn't expecting a Greek mentioning the most common slang word of my country lol. Now I understand the meaning of malakas perfectly. Cheers mate!

thats because those languange are root from latin like a greek in 7 century bc aproximatly. greek come from latin basicly accent especialy

You can see the English subtitles below the video, right? 😂

Thank you 🙏🙏

Indeed, I think its because the tempo of the languages are similar and more importantly, we pronounce our consonants the same.

Also, if you look at the langfocus channel on UKposts, they have an episode on the similarities between our two languages

Everything has to do with the experience 😁😁 marilena

Well in the end of the day that is going on for many years.. yes politicians are wankers, but then doesn't this makes us worse, for voting for the same people that we call ''malakes'' over and over again?

I appreciate the warmness of this don't get me wrong. But need to set the record straight, Greek is not Latin in any way. Italian, Spanish and Romanian are Latin based languages but Greek is not.

Yeah that's how is basically used. You are right!

since we talk about English, I would say it is more like Wanker

It is used for same purpose...

It's also called "wanker", same thing as "malakas"

Yes accurate!!! Explained 😂😂😂😂

Interesting that there is that word at Philippino 😊😊 marilena

Pilipino have no idea that 'malakas' is a curse😅😅😅, no wonder why they use 'sakalam' as a replacement for 'malakas' when chatting in Facebook and other platforms. The closest pilipino curse word is 'malas' means unlucky or bad luck, which probably has a latin origin.

Mate, somewhere near your place, I think there's an area called "Malaka" if I'm not mistaken. Malaka Peninsula, Gulf, River, Sea or something. I don't exactly recall. Am I right?

@@manorueda1432 here in Andalucia (Southern Spain), this colloquial use of swearwords is quite common.

But, of course, this is only the case among trusted circles and depending on the circumstances.

It's so sad those who cross the Atlantic forgetting their mother tongue. Those that go to other European nations, don't. In Germany we even have our own Greek schools for instance. In USA only a community in Florida is "too Greek" perhaps you know for whom I'm talking about ( Tarpon Springs ) but still don't know about their language. Nothing more glorious speaking Plato's tongue! HeHe!

@@hermespsychopompos8267 Relax. Its a natural process. Being a transatlantic or a transpacific immigrant is not the same as being an intra-european immigrant. The former type is anything between a 10 to 20-hour flight away from the motherland, the latter is a 2-3 hour hop to Greece. That huge geographical distance applying to the trans-Atlantic/Pacific immigrants is responsible for the fact it can take 5-10 years or more for these unfortunate souls before they visit Greece which, for an immigrant in Germany or Belgium is never the case. The American/Canadian/Australian Greek immigrants with the passage of the generations gradually become amalgamated, absorbed in the culture of their host countries. The Greeks in Germany or Belgium, for example, do not. Its the proximity to the old country. Its not rocket science. As a side point, a Greek immigrant to Argentina, will feel much closer to home, in all respects, than a Greek immigrant in Germany, inspite of the huge geographical distance.

@@mmscuf Yeah, I get it man. I just mentioned it's sad.

Buddy you're always welcome to speak and practice your greek as you're always welcome to visit us and let us buy you a chipuro

Thank you 😊

could you explain to me, what does it sounds like to people that aren't greek? I mean , even if we don't speak french or italian or arabic, we can understand it when we hear it because all these languages have some charateristics....does this happen with greek too? is there maybe a letter that you hear more often? does it sounds like another language?

I think the most beautifull and erotic language in the world is the spanish.... My opinion....! John from Greece....!

just do it

@@hungrycrab3297 I agree with everything you said! So well explained, I couldn’t have said it better myself! 👍

Your welcome! Marilena

which word is used in persian?

How does a Persian gal know that? 😇

True! Good advice.

🇬🇷❤️🇮🇳

Well said.

You are right malaka

The true meaning of the word, the original meaning, and the one you will still find in more than half the uses in real life and literature, is: One who is afraid of the bad that will lead to the good. One who cannot tolerate effort or the pains required to get something good. It literally means soft. If you have admitted defeat and stopped studying for your exams or practicing your sport, your friend will say: Don't be a malakas, you can make it. If you believe you will not enjoy a vacation because it will be too much effort, your friend will again say: Don't be a malakas. It will be fun. If you are afraid of rejection and don't want to talk to a girl you like, your friend will say: Don't be a malakas, talk to her. The last example was so common it probably led to the second meaning.

Τhank you! Marilena

Also gonna say this, we typically refer from using that word with total strangers, as it’s more of a familiarity thing, unless we specifically aim to confront or insult someone who pissed us off. And by proxy we typically will not use that word in a work environment in front of people, but when it’s just the employees it’s a fair game. It’s treated as both an indecent/confrontational word and a word that shows familiarity/respect at the same type depending on the person. Older Greeks will most likely find it somewhat insulting while me and other young Greeks use it literally everywhere besides work and family (also a respect thing, you typically don’t use malaka for your parents ((siblings are an exception)) here both for respect and a massive ass beating if you do, but that also varies. Look it’s complicated lmao idk how to perfectly explain it just live and get raised in Greece and poof you know everything subconsciously kekw).

We hope so, soon!

There are lots and lots of etymological theories in the comments, I have no idea what the correct one is!

@@EasyGreekVideos yeah but I do not talk about theories. What I said is legit. Or else naming the self loving action and surrounding bone area with a similar term would be a hell of a coincidence....😉

Es possible que la palabra "gringo" se usa en el mismo contexto? (aunque los casos en los que se importa son muy especificos e individuos)

@@irondasgr I would say the answer to that is yes and no. _Gringo/a_ doesn't have the same meanings as _güey_ , since it's pretty much always used to refer to US citizens, but now that you mention it, it _is_ somewhat similar to that term in that it can be employed both pejoratively and friendly. Also, and again similarly to _guëy_ , I would say it's lost some of its negative connotations among many Mexicans, used nowadays more as a friendly, if informal, way of talking about, and directly addressing, someone from the States, than as an insult or a slur.

@@ControlledCha0s Hhahaha I don't know why but I would love to be called "gringo" around through shopping in Mexico, since to my ears all locals use it to confirm a certain level of difference between them and the foreigner yet with a sense of humour and desire to engage a maximum proximity. I'd love to return to Mexico sometime but the return ticket only costs 1200$.... :(((

I don’t think guey is a good example because as far as I’m aware you cannot use it as an insult where as malaka can be used as an insult

@@TheOne-fe8wk Well, it's true that it may not be such a good example, because like _gringo_ , _güey_ has lost most of its pejorative character over the years, but there are at least a few instances where it may be used negatively, like in the constructions _ser güey_ or _estar bien güey_ , admittedly weak insults, compared to the sort of things you see and hear nowadays over here when people _really_ want to trash talk somebody, but still, in such contexts _güey_ is no compliment, either.

Thank you!!

Quale sarebbe la parola corrispondente in italiano? Forse la espressione "Mica scemo"? O la parola cornuto? Beh, il cornuto ha un significato troppo differente...

No my friend. The only thing that is exactly the same 100% in modern and ancient Greek IS pronunciation. Are you learning ancient Greek pronunciation based on the Erasmaic wrong pronunciation?

Ancient greek is different in terms of pronunciation only if you're using the erasmic/erasmian pronunciation which was designed by Western scholars for efficiency for them as. Although it carries certain elements that were indeed pronounced slightly differently, like η (ita) was pronounced more like a double e (as in epsilon) rather than -i (like I in India) so for example the name Eleni was actually pronounced as Elene-e. This is true as modern greek has many -i like ι η, υ, οι, so chances are some of them depending on the word were either used like this due to conjunction or pronounced slightly differently. Greek has διαλυτικά, the little double dots uses on double vowel letters to help when for example oi will be pronounced as oy instead of i as in India again. However, please understand that erasmian accent is by no way accurate. As modern anthropologists and linguists have said, if you want to find out how certain ancient words were pronounced you ought to go to some isolated villages to find out, also as ancient greeks had many dialects, the pronunciation varies from place to place from antiquity until today. For example, Goddess Artemis in Attic Greek was pronounced like Artemis but in Dorian Greek it was pronounced as Ar-ta-mis with the last syllable highlighted contrary to the first one.

@@hariszark7396 No language remains the same in pronunciation over thousands of years. Erasmian pronunciation isn't the same thing as the reconstructed historical pronunciation, and we nowadays have a very good understanding of the reconstructed historical pronunciation. Many features of ancient Greek are even preserved in the dialects - double consonants, the difference between υ and ι, the difference between η and ι, etc. are all preserved in different dialects.

Ancient Greek was definitely pronounced different from both the modern Greek pronunciation AND the Erasmian pronunciation.

@@Glossologia You confuse pronunciation of letters (like in Erasmaic pronunciation) with the different dialects of wording. Not the same things. In Greek we have hundreds of dialects in every area of different cities and villages. Cretans have their own dialect. Macedonians their own. People from Pontos their own etc. Even the Cypriot people are speaking their own dialect. But ALL of them are speaking Greek. With the same pronunciation of oi,ei,eu,ai in common. And none of them are NOT talking with the "Erasmaic pronunciation" . Never. Nowhere. So.....we can clearly say that Erasmus was totally wrong. But there are people learning Greek pronunciation based on this wrong pronunciation.....without any reason.

A lot 🙏🙏 Marilena
