I will visit ancient Greece, just before Pericles time, and need someone to teach me a dialect that will get me going, and not getting killed or enslaved. Not just Athens mind you, from Sparta to Pella Macedonia. So what would that dialect be?
Oh God...not THAT thing again. Ok, I'll try to explain ONE MORE TIME. When you see the letters οι, ει, αι, υι, ου, they are NOT read or pronounced as two separate letters but as ONE letter. For example the word είμαι (I am) is NOT pronounced as e-i-ma-i but as ee-me. You know the Greek language is STILL alive and not that far away from the ancient form in the pronunciation and orthography. It's more than 95% the same. Please stop pronouncing those letters separate because it is brutal to the sounding of our language and let's be honest. You are NOT speaking Greek (old or new) this way. This thing started as a prank a couple of hundred years ago and it HAS to stop.
Η κυρία μιλάει με λάθος τρόπο την αρχαία ελληνική γλώσσα.... Το "και" το προσφέρει "καΐ"... Το "και" είναι μονοσύλλαβο και η κυρία το κάνει δισίλαβο... "Κα -ΐ"... Το "εύ" που είναι δίφθογγος το προφέρει ως δύο ξεχωριστά γράμματα.... Έ και ύ... Με αυτή την λάθος προφορά που βασίζεται στην λάθος θεωρία του Εράσμου όμως, δεν βγαίνουν 15 συλλαβές στον ιαμβικό δεκαπεντασύλλαβο.... Άλλα προφέροντας το μονοσύλλαβο "και" ως δύο συλλαβές κά και ί, βγαίνουν παραπάνω συλλαβές... Ενώ οι αρχαίοι ποιητές έγραψαν σε δεκαπεντασύλλαβο..... Επίσης η γλώσσα που μιλούν δεν είναι αρχαία κλασσική ελληνική γλώσσα αλλά νεοτέρα, μετά την εποχή του Μέγα Αλεξάνδρου, η λεγόμενη κοινή ελληνιστική... Έκανε μεγάλη ζημιά η λάθος θεωρία του Εράσμου.... Διαγράψτε την τελείως....
ΑΣ ΕΝΑΣ ΣΥΓΧΡΟΝΟΣ ΕΛΛΗΝ, ΕΙΜΙ ΥΠΕΡΗΦΑΝΟΣ ΔΙΑ ΥΜΑΣ ΠΟΥ ΟΜΙΛΕΙΤΕ ΤΟΣΟ ΒΕΛΤΙΣΤΑ ΤΗΝ ΤΩΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΤΤΑΝ! ΘΑΥΜΑΖΩ ΗΜΑΣ!!! ΕΣΤΕ ΥΠΕΡΟΧΟΙ ΤΕ ΚΑΙ ΑΡΤΙΟΙ!!! IF ONLY YOU PERMIT ME, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO PRONOUNCE THE ANCIENT GREEK LANGUAGE WITOUT THE ERASMIAN ACCENT! ERASMIAN ACCENT IS WRONG AND I WILL PROVE IT TO YOU VERY EASILY. THE FOLLOWING LETTERS COMBINED TOGETHER "OI", "EI", "YI", "HI", ARE DIFTHOGS AND PRONOUNCED AS "I " (MAYBE AS MACRON I, THAT IS II, BUT I) AND AI AS "E" (MACRO "E", BUT "E"). ALSO OY IS PRONOUNCED AS OU (LIKE IN FRENCH). IF THEY WERE TO BE PRONOUNCED DIFFERENTLY, THEY WILL HAVE THE ΔΙΑΛΥΤΙΚΑ IN THE SECOND LETTER SUCH AS: ΟΪ, ΕΪ, ΑΪ, OΫ, ΥΪ, ΗΪ ΕΤC. AND THEY WILL BE PRONOUNCED AS O I, E I, A I, Y I ETC. I WILL GIVE YOU ALSO AN EXAMPLE FROM AN ANCIENT ΨΗΦΙΔΩΤΟΝ WITH WISHES IN WHICH THERE ARE SPELLING MISTAKES AT THE WORDS WHICH PROVE THAT THE SOUND OF THE DIFTHOGS WERE THE SAME AS THE SIMPLE LETTERS I, E. SINCE THAT TIME (LATE HELLENISTIC YEARS). ALSO THE PRONUNCIATION OF O AND Ω HAD BECOME THE SAME FOR OVER 1700 YEARS NOW. LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE: ΥΓΕΙΑ= HEALTH (ANCIENT AND MODERN GREEK THE SAME WORD!) WAS WRITTEN AS ΥΓΙΑ AT THAT TEXT OF 4TH CENTURY AD. THAT MEANS THAT EI AND I PRONOUNCED THE SAME WAY...! ALSO ΖΩΗ = LIFE (THE SAME WORD IN GREEK THEN AND NOW!) WAS WRITTEN AS ΖΟΗ. THAT MEANS THAT ALSO O AND Ω HAVE THE SAME ACCENT AS WELL! facebook.com/105535703066/photos/%CF%85%CE%B3%CE%B5%CE%AF%CE%B1-%CE%B6%CF%89%CE%AE-%CF%87%CE%B1%CF%81%CE%AC-%CE%B5%CE%B9%CF%81%CE%AE%CE%BD%CE%B7-%CE%B5%CF%85%CE%B8%CF%85%CE%BC%CE%AF%CE%B1-%CE%B5%CE%BB%CF%80%CE%AF%CE%B4%CE%B1-health-life-joy-peace-good-cheer-hope%CE%AD%CE%BD%CE%B1-%CE%B1%CF%81/10152576997548067/ I PERSONALLY PREFER THE NON ERASMIAN ACCENT AS THE FOLLOWING SPEAKER DOES: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pbZ6J1wqmlc.html&si=f1YYax5mIyc-IM2l YOU DO A GREAT JOB AND ALL THE GREEKS ARE REALLY GRATEFUL FOR YOU THAT SHOW TO ALL THE WORLD: TO ΜΕΓΑΛΕΙΟΝ, ΤΟΝ ΠΛΟΥΤΟΝ , ΤΟ ΜΕΓΕΘΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΤΗΝ ΟΜΟΡΦΙΑΝ ΤΟΥ ΟΜΙΛΕΙΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΣΤΙ!!! THANK YOU AGAIN!!!❤
Thank you for all the amazing work you are doing. The videos and podcasts you upload really help in learning greek and add a lot of motivation and a lot of joy in the process !
Πολύ καλο βιντεο! Κατάλαβα αρκετό ποσοστο των λεγόμενων με την χρήση υποτίτλων. Αναρωτίεμαι αν έχετε την ίδια ευκολία κατανόησης Νεοελληνικών κειμένων / σχολίων.
Ήδομαι μεν ακούων την γνησίαν ελληνικήν φωνήν, οχληρον δε μοι χρησθαι υμας τη ερασμια προφορά. Ει γαρ κληθησοίμην λαλείν περί είδους ανθρώπου γεγονότος ενενήκοντα ετών, ουκ αν ειποιμι τουτον ειναι ως εφαίνετο προ εβδομηκονταετιας αλλά ως φαίνεται νυν, πολιόν τε και αυχμηρόν. Πέραν τούτου, αναμνήσθε οτι ο ιωτακισμός ηρχετο ηδη απο του 3ου αιώνος π.Χ (το "ει" εν αρχή) και υμεις χρησθε τη κοινή ελληνική, ή καθιερώθη μεταγενεστερον
Παντως όποιος ξέρει νέα Ελληνικά σίγουρα μπορεί να καταλάβει τη γλώσσα από Καινή διαθήκη και έπειτα. Αλλα θα καταλάβει και από Πλάτωνα πολλά πράγματα και νοήματα. Λιγότερα από Όμηρο. Υπό αυτήν την έννοια θα έλεγα ότι τελικώς είναι μία γλώσσα
They are using the reconstructed attic pronunciation, albeit with their own accent and without the pitch accent, which is most probably the closest thing that we have in regards to what ancient Greek would have sounded like until early Koine in regards to how each letter was pronounced. Though from the way the language flows in a bit of an awkward way I still think that we certainly miss some aspects.
Absolutely fantastic! It is the first time I hear people talking like this. I only hear Koine Greek in our Church and read it in the Holy Bible, but in everyday conversation is so funny! Sometimes my husband and I are trying to speak like this in frond of our kids so they can't understand us, but they DO...
how the heck is that possible? I understood almost everything. I was never a good student in ancient greek, i certainly do not know how to write an ancient Greek sentence
