Dear Lina, Your videos are very helpful to learn Greek at home, Specially during the quarantine. I wish you would speak slower. Especially while speaking Greek. I am very beginner. :)

@mightychondriaofthecell3317 5 месяцев назад

At first I was worried that this would be too hard....that I wasn't intelligent enough to learn from your videos. But now I realize that I am so thankful you have taken the time to make these and teach this. This series you make is perfect. Thank you!

Χαχαχα, τα ενήλικα παιδιά μου είναι Σουηδοί, η οικογένειά μας είναι τρίγλωσση και ως καθηγητής πανεπιστημίου βρίσκομαι συχνά σε γλωσσικά μπερδεμένες καταστάσεις. Χαίρομαι που βλέπω την παρατήρησή σου. Και Λίνα, σε ευχαριστώ πολύ για την υπέροχη δουλειά σου.

@daylight8208 6 лет назад

First I want to ask how can I contribute to your channel? I watch you every morning while I get ready for work and I have sent links to a few friends that are trying to learn modern Greek. I want to help in any way I can. I struggle with conjugation of verbs and past tense spellings and I love that you explain why phrases are the way they are instead of just reading them off. Thank you for everything!

@maverikk2005 6 лет назад

Γεια σου, Λίνα! Is there a difference - in terms of frequency or context of usage - between the forms είστε and είσαστε? Or are the two forms completely interchangeable? Ευχαριστώ πολύ!

@linaaaap1 6 лет назад

Hi! No, there is no difference, they can be used interchangeably. I would say that "είστε" is probably more commonly used just because it's shorter.

@user-xh9rz7rf8l 4 года назад

Είσαστε is wrong in the present tense, it indicates continuity of action in an event and belongs to the past continuous.

@maggievoigt6055 2 года назад

Hi Lina, I'm afraid it's too fast and too technical for me. I am more a parrot - I like to learn a new language by imitating and later I can see and follow the grammar rules. But I do like your very pleasant voice.

@hiawathadevries7222 6 месяцев назад

Hi Lina, Thanks for your lessons. But why is: Είναι πέντε η ώρα. Spoken like: Inè pèdè óra? Where are the n in pèndè and the i before óra? What are the rules about the n before the d? When to pronounce the n and when not?

@bads0892 6 лет назад

Γεια σας! τι κάνετε όλα καλά; Would be great more videos of verbs 😊

@TechnicalEnglish101 7 лет назад

Please explain aorist. Thnak you.

@linaaaap1 7 лет назад

Of course, I will explain all tenses! I should start with the Present tense first. Until then, Αόριστος has almost the same use as the Simple Past Tense in English. Of course, there are differences and more details but that's the general concept. 😀

@legaleagle46 6 лет назад

If you speak Spanish, the Aorist is like the Preterite in that language. However, there are also an Aorist Future and an Aorist Imperative and an Aorist Subjunctive, but the basic concept is the same: completed, one-time actions, whether in the past, the present, or the future.

@tomdunlop2147 5 лет назад

@@legaleagle46 Thanks, i am a spanish speaker and everything has suddenly become alot clearer. I speak french also but the simple past is infrequently used now

@pitentino 4 года назад

What's the difference between "eiste" and "eisaste"? and between "omorfos" and "oraios"? You can answer in Italian, please, if is it possible.

@aggelosn.6846 4 года назад

For the first two words there is no difference, the first is a more simplified version of the second. Both are used. Usually the second one is more formal and used in writing while the first one in every day conversation. "Όμορφος" means handsome/beautiful while ωραίος is more generic means good/nice but also used as "good-looking". You can use ωραίος not only for people but for objects as well e.g. "ωραίο πουκάμισο" (nice shirt)

@user-xh9rz7rf8l 4 года назад

Είσαστε is wrong in the present tense, it indicates continuity of action in an event and belongs to the past continuous.

@hanorev8373 3 года назад

This is a very important lesson. For people who want to learn Greek, the examples are too quick spoken. Is there a fire, that you are soooo quick? It goes too fast... All the time I stop, to repeat it survival times for myself. Do it slowly and repeat. Thank you so much.

@555DUDUIS 6 лет назад

lina, Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ Please can you tell me what the rules Used on E ε.εί.υ.οί.η.υι and ο.ω'When I write in Greek, How can I know Where and when to write The correct E ε.εί.υ.οί.η.υι and ο.ω

@linaaaap1 6 лет назад

Hello! Thanks for watching! Unfortunately there are not many rules about that, you need to memorize most of the words. Most existing orthography rules concern verbs. I will make a video about that. For know I'll just give you a good start: always write the ending of the 1st person singular of the present tense with "ω". Example: τρέχω, θέλω, παίζω, μπορώ.

@555DUDUIS 6 лет назад

Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ lina I really appreciate your help.

@telosfd 4 года назад

Deep waters! All of these is written in our minds from elementary school. Of course there are rules that come from antiquity. We learn them later in high school. Together with the ancient Greeks.

@user-xh9rz7rf8l 4 года назад

of course there are rules, but nowdays the youth knows more english than their native language...

@tychophotiou6962 3 года назад

As soon as I read "The predicate is in the nominative case" I had to switch off. That might as well be in Greek - absolute meaningless garbage... (And I have 3 degrees in physics, mathematics and Astrophysics!) This might be ok if you are teaching Greek to those who have a degree in English but I can assure you that 99% of people would not understand this at all. I think you should use the words "verb, noun and adjective" but that is all. (You might be surprised to discover that approximately 50% of English people don't even understand these 3 words!)
