@@rightsmite You may be correct. That's what I've been wondering, what's going to happen when they run out of mysterious sounding Greek letters? Perhaps South Park is correct, it will be the Delta super duper plus mega variant.

Really my polyglot friend? He fooled you? He fooled me too...I thought this would be a lesson in Greek...but then I realized...what a load of shit. And another thing...Do you really think that starting a sentence with the statement that you are a polyglot (which is a Greek word btw) will make your opinion matter more?

Αναρρωτιέμαι πού είναι τα λάθη. Αφού η αποκατεστημένη προφορά των αρχαίων ελληνικών (τόσο εκείνες των ομηρικών χρόνων και της κλασικής εποχής, όσο και αυτή της ελληνιστικής, που όλες εντέλει, άλλες περισσότερο, άλλες λιγότερο, διέφεραν απ’ τη σύγχρονη νεοελληνική) είναι πολύ προσεγγιστική, όχι-ακριβής, και αφού δεν έχουμε ηχογραφήσεις της εποχής, δεν μπορούμε να κατηγορήσουμε για λάθη όταν προσπαθούμε να την προσεγγίσουμε.

@@Michail_Chatziasemidis τα λαθη ηταν κυριως ορθογραφικα (φονη, εσκατος κλπ) αλλα και μια καπως σημερινη αγγλικη προφορα, που σιγουρα δεν ειχαν οι αρχαιοι

@@giorgiomiami7447 Koine is the ancient greek dialect from which modern greek descends from, so while there are some pretty big similarities, they are not the same languages and Koine is not really spoken anymore.

I'm glad you found it helpful! Good luck with your continued studies!

How is that going it's great seeing people who are not from my country try to learn Greek.

Thanks, inkguy! Glad you find it helpful!

@Vagia Katsikarou θαυμάσια προφορά... (?) Τα αυτιά σου, είναι εντάξει????????? Τι είναι αυτά που λέτε... Ελληνικά με αγγλική προφορά... Αυτό ακούσαμε, έλεος πια... Ε όχι και θαυμάσια προφορά... Απλά , ο άνθρωπος το προσπάθησε , μέχρι εκεί. Τίποτα παραπάνω , τίποτα περισσότερο.

Συγνώμη, προσπαθεί αλλά η προφορά δεν είναι καλή. Και στο γάμμα γράφει το ρήμα γιγνώσκω λάθος. Γράφει γινώσκω. Τουλάχιστον αυτό πρέπει να το διορθώσει.

Oh, and at the end of the song: και τω τελω, ομεγα... "and at the end, omega."

No it doesnt help at all...we dont sound like that

Any tips you can share with a beginner? I am starting with this Alphabet. It seems like I would have needed another lesson before the alphabet. :))

@@Missramy100 The alphabet is the place to start--don't get too hung up on letter pronunciations, as there is a fair amount of disagreement/variation among Greek teachers on this.

@@christopherskipp1525 Thank you! I actually used the Duolingo app for Greek. :)

Hebrew is super easy, if you aren't sure just assume "ah" for the vowels and you're 90% there. just learn "oh" and "oo" and you got another 5 percent. the rest is י and just assume it's an "ee" sound and your 99% Percent there. you'll never ever chat with a Hebrew speaker anyway so don't be too hard on yourself

Andrew Flower By the time after the 1st century AD, αυ was pronounced more like /aβ^w/ ~ /aφ^w/ rather than /aw/. Its pronunciation was nearer to modern Greek /av/ ~ /af/.

When υ is after a vowel its pronounced as a v. Otherwise its the same as ι and η

I wondered where he had gotten a "v" sound out of beta. Thanks for the info!

Using koine-era pronunciation, ει sounds like the e in tree. It's also the same sound that iota (ι) makes. Eta (η) on the other hand, makes an ay sound like in day.

Also, take a look at my video on Greek vowels and diphthongs. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/hamCn26FsWii2Hk.html

George Christoforou This is early first century Koine Greek, this is what it sounded like when Jesus was on earth. It’s not meant to sound like modern day Greek.

@@sapereaude6339 But of course.

I know, right?! I majored in Physics in college, and when I visited Greece I couldn’t understand a word anyone said, but I could pronounce the street signs!

Mathematics and Engineering too

@@timmcninch Unfortunately, modern Greek is as different to Koine or Hellenic Greek as modern English is different from Old English, or modern standard Italian is from any variation of Latin.

@@macvena Yes, of course. Here I'm only referring to my ability to recognize the Greek alphabet from my physics/mathematics training.

@@timmcninch I understand, and I extend my compliments. Your pronunciation is excellent. Well done.

@@Snogubb3n I am Greek

Not quite. It represents a dialect that would have been used during the Koine era (including the time the New Testament was composed). The language has evolved since then, and in particular, many of the vowels have migrated toward the sound of iota.

Actually, only the pronunciation of eta turned to iota. Otherwise, the pronunciation is the same. Pronunciation of Classik Greek was different from Modern ones. A NATIVE GREEK

@@timmcninch How do we know what somebody sounded like in the Koine era?

Hi aiorr - See: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/hamCn26FsWii2Hk.html

IPA is very helpful ... For those who know it. Sadly no one seems to learn it except for linguists and their students. It can be difficult to get others to learn it.

Hahahaha!

@@timmcninch Tim, I am doubly glad that my joke made you laugh. It is true to life but it was actually a very SAD private family reality that I had worded as joke in hope of a positive response. Back in 2021 my wife was actually thrilled to see me taking up new retirement hobbies like Greek and Welsh. I did not understand at the time why she was so unexpectedly supportive since she had no interest in ' strange tongues' of any sort. As it turned out hobbies like learning NT Greek and singing Welsh Hymns have literally become a life saver for me recently. An extended voluntary lock down from 'normal' social activities like Church on Sundays has been forced upon me by the extremly sad fact that my wife actually died suddenly back in November 2021. I have been reluctant to overload the internet with sad news at a time when the world is so full of real tragedy but this feels like a safe place or warm spot to explain WHY I am enjoying tge Greek alphabet right now. I can now thank you publically that your laughter above made me smile today when nothing else could. I was able to IMAGINE my wife responding positively to your reply, and that is often all a widower needs to get up and face a tough day ahead. She rarely laughed directly at my jokes, but she always joined in the conversation when another person saw the funny side. She would have grabbed my smart phone to make a very clever joke at my expense. I was my wife's hero only if I could make our daughters and grandson laugh in the middle of a family crisis. At times that was my most important job in life. "Make sad people laugh at their own sadness". That skill became extremely important when she was very poorly and physically not able to laugh herself. Seeing the genuine joy of family around her was an essential part of her paliative care in 2021. I was teaching myself the Greek letters and their sounds by using soft toys and giving them all Bible names on labels. She would recognise the names audibly even if MY handwritten letters like zeta and xi looked like what she called " unintelligible squiggles ". It was possibly reminding her of our own daughters trying to write at age 2. As her cognitive skill deteriorated, but still in lock down at home alone with me, I swapped from Greek to WELSH where there are no squiggles in the aphabet. It is a familiar accent here in the UK. She did not know any welsh vocabulary but she found the smooth sounds of the language 'familiar and comforting' . So I learnt the song CALON LAN, with the occasional letters LL, CH, and NG that didn't look too foreign. Ruth knew several Welsh hymn tunes from childhood so I could even change the TUNE to add variety... "What a friend we have in Jesus." Her final weeks were as pleasant as we could make them by all of us just " being ourselves" and enjoying what we liked doing in a manner that she would find amusing. You may never know what ETERNAL good can come from a you tube video that you post when you are motivated by a " Calon Lân ". Phil. G. Feb 2023

@@philipgibson138 I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm glad my video could prompt a fond memory.

Και εγω ετσι πιστευω

Thank you for your questions. 1. To my ear, the υ does sound like German ü. But I should say I don't know very much German and don't have much experience utilizing the IPA - unless we're talking about India Pale Ales. ;-) 2. In the Erasmian pronunciation system, ' does indicate a rough breathing. But research shows that the rough breathing was not pronounced during the Koine era.

Tim McNinch what are you singing between Psi and Omega?

at the end of the song: και τω τελω, ομεγα... "and at the end, omega."

Tim McNinch I think that «και εν τέλει» would be more correct.

Ναι

Και εγω

I don't think so, it was [w], not [f].

First of all, there is not much difference between a capital kappa (Κ) and a lower-case kappa (κ) beyond the size, so that can be a bit confusing. But both symbols look much like the English K. Other minor variations are just matters of font choice. The lower-case kappa in this video uses a font that is a bit stylized.

OK, Thanks for clearing that up.

@@timmcninch Modern fonts often have two varieties of lowercase kappa. And in LaTeX they are independent characters with different names. The same happens to theta and phi, sometimes also rho.

your comment helped me alot. thanks

Can you please tell me more about the greek koine? I'm studying ancient greek and "Koine" is the pronunciation that I chose (not too near from the current greek or too far from the classical greek). At that time was gamma pronunced like the french "r" and has delta a light "z" sound? Didn't the sound "b" exist? I know the digraph épsilon-upsilon was prononced as "ev" or "ef" ( as in "evangelios") but was it the same for alpha-upsilon? And for example, how would you pronunce μυῖα, ποιητἠς, εὐειδής?

all wrong

Omicron is very similar to Omega, but there is a difference. Omicron is a short O, like in "on", and Omega uses a long O, like in "show". Do note that I'm still learning, so this may not be 100% accurate, this is just what I've learned.

I have a whole page on pronunciation on my website with plenty of examples, see: www.KaineDiatheke.com

Naresh Thakur It depends on which form of Greek you want to transliterate them. Homeric Greek: ϝιδύρ (widur), κιράν (kiran). Ancient Greek βιδούρ (bidūr), κιράν (kiran). Hellenistic Koine/Medieval Greek βιδούρ (vidhur), κιράν (kiran). Modern Greek βιντούρ (vindur), κιράν (kiran).

Khatz Mikhael thank you sir a lot .

@Konstantin Trehagyrevopoulos και στο βήτα βάζει ένα έψιλον μέσα.

I think its a Times New Roman font

Η,Ι,Υ,ΕΙ,ΟΙ all of them is pronouncing e

Yes, to my ear upsilon and German ü sound the same (I should add, though, that I am not a native speaker of either language-so there may be nuances of sound I don't pick up on).

@@timmcninch Thanks man! I agree about the nuances. There are some sounds that are the same in IPA across a lot of languages, but each language just has that tiny nuance different from the others in how the sound is enunciated.

Y is elongated u follow by i: ui “u-i”
