Damn right 😂

it wasnt just a greek resistance. The greek revolt of 1821 was lead mostly by Arvanites. Like for example the people Mr History mentioned were Arvanites. So it was a collaboration between albanians of greece and greeks.

Ikr, he’s so good

Greek words aren't really that hard to read tbh. It only took me one afternoon in the "Classical Greek" club in my college to learn how to read Greek Orthography. But then again most monolingual Anglophones only struggle with Greek pronunciation cos their being held back by the foolishness that is the English language and it's schizophrenic rules of pronunciation, so you can't really fault them for their mispronounciation. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@momo-cchi5978 That's true, in Greek every letter is read the same way always, unless it's a part of a combination of two, then it loses its own and the combination is pronounced. But that combination is also always pronounced the same way.

@@georgios_5342 Honestly, apart from Greeks being too stubborn to add a letter or two to their alphabet to make it more practical, their language has to be one of the most easy and efficient ones out there. Orthography-wise of course. And the letter are so damn mesmerising to look at! Everytime I look at a passage in Greek it makes me feel like I'm looking at ancient spell book or a grimoire and that just speaks to inner fantasy loving child self. 😂

@@momo-cchi5978 you know you're kinda right about that, but as you know, spelling conventions are hard to overcome. The Greek script used to be quite complex even until the 80s for historical reasons, and getting rid of that at the official level saw quite the backlash! Greek used to have three accents, then reduced to two and finally one. However all those only made sense until the 4th AD century, when phonemic vowel length was lost and the tones stopped having any difference whatsoever. Also, a century later, the word-initial h sound was lost, but we still kept around the daseia (h) sign over vowels to signify that it was there until the 80s. Its only practicality was theoretical, as you could only see it in compound words from then on (for example, όσιος(ósios)=holy, but it also had that h symbol in older Greek. So, adding the preposition από(apó), meaning far or completely, you don't get αποσίωση (aposíosi) but αφοσίωση (aphosíosi). So this is where the h shows up. If you know French, this might seem familiar. Several ways to right the same sound (o/au/eau/aux/eaux, or é/ai) and many older spelling conventions like the circonflexe accent (where there used to be an s, like hôpital instead of hospital, and île instead of isle) as well as the silent h all exist until today in French! And about English, I don't even have to say a word. The phonetic system is a mess, combining the pronunciation of numerous source languages but retaining original spelling. So, alas Greek isn't doing that bad on that front 😂. Also, I once thought of Greek adding certain letters, like b for μπ, d for ντ, g for γκ/γγ, j for τζ, y or ç for τσ and a letter for the u sound. I can think of two reasons why that hasn't been done 1.Historical continuity. If they changed these to be totally phonetic, a whole more stuff would also be changed to the point where earlier Greek would seem alien, like σμ changing to ζμ, middle consonant between 3 vanishing when not pronounced like πέμπτος becoming πέμτος and ευ/αυ changing to εβ/εφ/αβ/αυ, even though the pronunciation can be understood from the following letter. All these changes would make it a mess to distinguish certain words and would also mean needless updating of official papers, books etc. 2. Allophones. Allophones are different sounds that are however interpreted as the same in meaning in a certain language. So for example, you might notice ki and ko make a different sound of k, but those two are allophones, because even if you mispronounce them, the same meaning will be conveyed, just the other person will thing you're a foreigner. In Greek, such was the case for μπ, ντ, and γκ/γγ until very recently, even until the end of the 20th century in Athens and even today in several parts of Greek and Cyprus, where they aren't only pronounced b, d g but also mb, nd, ng without changing the meaning. This is because they're made up of mp, nt and gk respectively, but the latter letter changes and absorbs the first. Why change the orthography of those when many people still speak like that? Fun fact, you might be shocked by this, but several extra letters existed by the Byzantine period! Indeed, u had a single letter of merged o and u, that had both an uppercase and a lowercase version during Medieval Greek. Today it can still be found in some old road signs and on a cookie brand named Παπαδόπουλου for the two ουs, but after 1821 newfound interest in the ancients made this letter disappear. And it also makes perfect sense, because it might not be a pretty common sound in Greek, but it's the masculine/neuter genitive suffix for a big class of nouns and most of the adjectives! (So for example, "of the white horse" is του λευκού αλόγου so you can see this gets redundant)

Fun fact: Eclipse is a Greek word, έκλειψις, from the verb εκλείπω which means I go away or I vanish. Έκλειψις ἡλίου as we say in ancient Greek means "solar vanishing".

I'm Greek and I love Egypt

@Jordan & Jordan Yeah you might be right about that,us Greeks are not really Greeks, we're just fooling you all we are actually martians. Again don't be fooled by the fact that we speak the same language as the ancient Greeks and have many similar customs that's just western propaganda...lol

Πως είναι σωστό όταν λέει ότι ο καραμανλής έφερε την δημοκρατία και δεν αναφέρει καν την εξέγερση του πολυτεχνείου ; Έλεος δηλαδή.

@@avenge666R για 10 λεπτα βιντεο ο τυπος εκανε πολυ καλη δουλια και η εξεγερση του πολυτεχνειου ειναι λιγο περιπλοκο και οχι και πολυ σημαντικο θεμα για ενα τοσο μικρο σε διαρκια βιντεο

@@NP3GA θα διαφωνήσω διότι προσδίδει την αποκατάσταση της δημοκρατίας στον Καραμανλή που έκανε τις διακοπές του στο Παρίσι, ενώ το τριήμερο της εξέγερσης του Πολυτεχνείου είχαμε νεκρούς, ιστορικά μιλώντας αυτός που φτιάχνει το βίντεο οφείλει να σεβαστεί την αλήθεια και όχι να κάνει προπαγάνδα είτε συνειδητά είτε ασυνείδητα αυτό δεν μπορώ να το γνωρίζω.

@@avenge666R δεν νομίζω ότι έκανε προπαγάνδα απλά ήθελε να κρατήσει το βίντεο όσο πιο σύντομο γινόταν και το συγκεκριμένο τριήμερο ήταν υπερβολικά μεγάλο και πολύ παρασκήνιο για να μήνη χώρος για τα επόμενα 50 χρόνια που έμειναν

No one can steal Greek legacy. Those who think that some bunch of slaves are of Greek / Macedonian origin are simple under educated...

No worries, skopjans stole nothing because they CAN'T. Scholars, educated and intellectual people will always know who Alexander was and the legacy it left for Greece. Mucho love to Espana

Greeks have invented literally EVERYTHING; democracy, olympics, maths, medicine, hipcratic oath, astronomy the list goes on. I think the skopjan slavs invented a type of potatoe stew. You have everything, why not just let them have Alexander?

@@xpictos777 Because Alexander the Great is one more great thing the greeks gave to this world so NO he should NOT be given to some confused Bulgarians

@@xpictos777 this is a poor way of thinking. Its like saying to Tesla "oh you are a great and brilliant guy, but lets give this Edison the invention of electricity even though he copied your work shall we?"

@@Xavier-xd3cd you know the Greeks were not only the Spartans.😅I mean all people only give credit to Spartans.(they were badass ofcourse) but there are other Greek city states that were Great.Athens had the best navy in all of Greece,Corinth had one of the best infantry units and macedonia.Well Αλέξανδρος(Alexander in Greek) united Greeks under 1 banner.It was the forst time actually that we Greeks were actually united😂My favourite were the ancient Athenians.I mean i prefer Navy and Philosophy(and Science) over Brute Force(Spartans) but both of them were badass ofcourse

@Macedonian_guy I'm referring to the fact that Greeks were migrating and settling in Sicily and southern Italy from the bronze age and continued migrating to italy right through to Byzantine times.. thats practically three millenia of Greek migration to southern ITaly and Sicily. Its why southern Italy was called MAGNA GRAECIA (Great Greece) in ancient times. Southern ITalians are Greek in origin as DNA confirms

I agree but we colonized minor Asia too in that period of time and continue through history and only stopped when the exchange of population took place in 1922 i think.Through byzantine empire minor Asia was the heart of the greek civilazation

Until today there are some villages in Sicily where the speak a greek dialect called grecanica (γκρεκάνικα). It's a combination of Greek and Italian language. 🇬🇷🇮🇹

Modern day greeks are albanian slavic and turkic. Science says this.

@@Tztimelord Yes. there are about 445,000 Albanians in Greece, 150,000 Slavs, and about 90,000 Turks who are Greek nationals.

@@nicolaturi1831 Latins/Italians not Romans.The Romans were citizens of Rome not an ethnic group.

To be more precise there are no real Greeks in Athens while you are looking for them in the villages of Albania, Greece is composed 70% of Illyrian Pelasgian Albanian autochton, 15% Lebanese, 10% Turkish, 5% Slav, Albanian language is the oldest language in the world, it is unique, it is the only autochthonous language in the Balkans that belongs to Illyrian, many Albanian names today originate from Illyrian kings, queens and tribes (Genti, Teuta, Taulant, Ilir, etc.), while the Greek tribute came later from Lebanon and brought the alphabet "Phoenician" which is similar to the Hellenic, this alphabet was later modified by the Roman Empire inventing the Hellenic language for the Greeks, the Hellenic language was used more for international trade routes with other countries like English today but the basic language spoken in the Illyrian civilizations was the Illyrian language, gradually the Hellenes erased any trace of the Illyrian language written on the walls of Illyrian cities in the Hellenic language invented by the Romans

More than half of Greeks know descent to fluent English nowadays, so you won't have a problem staying here and learning Greek bit by bit. Although you do need to be an EU member state's national to come to live in Greece in the first place.

Thanks dude Love from greece 🇬🇷🇬🇷 You are welcome

Love from Greece! Most of us speak fluent english so u wouldnt have any trouble for the first couple of years. Oh and before u move here (if u ever do) make sure youre not only thinking of the beautiful things...pro tip take negative stuff into consideration too...its not all good:)

fluent is pushing it, but yeah most greeks can communicate in english and even the 70 year old grandpa at the grocery store counter will try to communicate despite the language barrier

Thank you!!!❤
