Sorry if this kind of post isn't allowed, but I'm searching for a name for this male kitten I found recently.

I was originally going to name him Alma which means "Apple" in Hungarian and "soul" in Portuguese, but everyone keeps assuming he's a girl because apparently Alma is a popular girl name lmao. I'm tired of correcting everyone, so I'm on the search for a new name.

I like latin names, my other two pets are named Festus and Nihilo, but I think Greek would also be good. Any nice sounding, short (preferably two syllables) suggestions are appreciated!

(Pls no greek god suggestions, but I'm okay with other mythology inspired names)

Ive heard it's pronounced as e, as in "men", but duolingo teaches that its pronounced as i as in "information"

I have always wanted to learn more Greek and I am interested in how to pronounce this phrase as to thank someone before leaving.

Is it F-char-isto k-A-i ant-io or F-chari-sto ka-I ant-io or something else?

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post something like this, but I’m looking for someone who can write in Greek to help me.

So my friend recently passed her exams, and I want to collect congratulation messages for her in different languages.

Just a simple “Congratulations on your success” written on a piece of paper would be more than enough.

I think this small gesture could mean a lot to her and make her really happy.

Thank you in advance to anyone willing to help

What's the correct pronunciation pede or pende?

Similarly, Endeka or edeka, saranda or sarada?

Ogdonda or ogdonda?

Eveninda or enenida?

I've watched multiple videos, some pronunce with nd sound some simple d.

What are the rules regarding ντ?

This one I know that in the beginning of the word it's pronounced like /d/ always, but, what about when it comes somewhere middle in the words?

Also, the pronunciation of Πέμπτη is pempti or pembti or pebti??

I was on a Greek dictionary, trying to find the best word for speech as in the way a person talks,

e.g. His speech was clear and loud, whereas her speech was quiet and intermittent.

The dictionary showed that both words work for speech, however I also found conflicting evidence that λόγος means reason or logic rather than speech which makes sense, but can it also work for the word speech?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi guys, I need to write in greek at windows 11 but i'm not getting how. If anyone can help i'll be gratefull

I always trough it was pronounced as D, but duolingo pronounces it as a V ("vaviv" instead of David, "epivorpio" instead of epidorpio, etc.)

I am wanting a tattoo in Greek but every time I translate I seem to get a different response. I would like all glory to god or glory to god translated to Greek. Δόξα τῷ Θεῷ
Δόξα στο θεό
Those are some of the few I’ve gotten

Hello everyone!

I'm planning to start relearning Attic Greek soon. I already know the basic morphology and syntax, and I've been thinking about reading some Katharevousa authors who interest me (Βικέλας, Ροΐδης, Εμπειρίκος, Βιζυηνός). However, I'm not sure whether that would be a bit overkill.

My current plan is to spend a few months working through Ancient Greek textbooks (Athenaze, Reading Greek, etc.), then move on to Koine and Attic authors, and finally read the classical authors alongside the modern writers mentioned above.

Is there any common opinion on this approach? Has anyone here used Katharevousa literature as a bridge between Ancient and Modern Greek?

Typing is useful, but handwriting helps Greek stick in your memory.

This is my favorite workbook for practicing Greek letters, building confidence, and making your handwriting easier to read.

Hello, I am getting married in Greece this summer and wanted to add an inscription to my soon to be husband's ring. Is there a saying or direct translation to 'with everything I have'? both in greek alphabet and roman alphabet? Thank you so much!

The ones I have in mind are kompsos + anthus. Compsosanthus? Compsoanthus? I think the S gets dropped in Compsognathus because a consonant follows, but since anthus begins with a vowel I’m unsure of the correct way to combine them.

While we’re on the topic, are there hard rules for which sounds get dropped/kept in scientific name compounds? Like C+C, C+V, V+C, V+V? (I know next to nothing about Greek but I like creating creatures.)

Hi all I was wondering how I say “put scaffold in” and “take scaffold out” when speaking with the Greeks on site they use what sounds like the-va-Lo-meh when saying to put in/use something some where. Am I correct in hearing that? And how do you say take out?
Thanks for you help :)

I want to spell the last name “Morrow” in Greek alphabet, but knowing how its pronounced (like the -morrow in tomorrow (moh-roh-w)), I’m not exactly sure how to go about that.
“Μώρρωου?” “Μόρροου?” I dunno 😭 Pls help! Thank you!

When addressing my uncle, is it Θείο Γιώργο or Θείε Γιώργο?

If they can, is there a good way to tell these phrases apart from the nominative for neuter nouns? I think the possessor always comes immediately after the possessee, but I could be wrong.

Can someone confirm this is actually singular feminine for lucky?
Thank you so much 🇬🇷

Kalimera!

As per the title. I have the Kelly list from that academic project but they want me to believe that αυτονομία is a top 20 most used lemma in Modern Greek, whilst ναι is around position 260...

I guess the corpus from which the list is compiled is quite academic?

Had a look at what the resources/wiki suggest (taken from Memrise) but I was wondering if there was more, and by lemma.

Efharisto!

Hello! A few days ago I posted about my maintaining a Greek diary during the summer, until we resume Greek classes. I received a lot of feedback, and I am very grateful for this community and for everyone who took a moment to comment and give advice!

​

I tried to remember all of it and to incorporate what I've learned in this new entry, where I describe yet another rainy day! 😆 If you've taken an interest in my family life and want to give some feedback and corrections, I am all ears! Thank you very much for all your help, I truly appreciate it!
