Yes in Greek: "No" No in Greek: "Ok" My brain: 🔥

@casparlatete9935 Год назад

That is exactly what I thought when I first learned some simple words about 40 years ago, and you know what, it is the best way. Applying that thinking to those two words, in particular, has never let me down.

@user-xh9rz7rf8l Год назад

Yes in Greek = Ναί / Neh No in Greek = Όχι / Ohi Your brain need more education

@elzafro842 Год назад

I'm Russian, but my relatives from my mum's side are Greek, so I've always dreamt of speaking Greek fluently. I'm fluent in English, almost fluent in Spanish and currently learning French at university, and sometimes it makes me so upset that I even understand Italian, but I'm still struggling with Greek. It's the most difficult language to me, but I'm not gonna give up, because among all the foreign languages I speak I consider Greek the most beautiful and rich, especially when it comes to vocabulary

An old trust has now been dispersed. My first European trip started in France, then a 21 day sailing trip with Captain Panos first boat. Oretha. He now only does day trips so I’ll do three one day trips. Then go from island to island for 5 weeks and no Itinerary. After I will randomly meander from island to island. I want to go through that cave again in that cove where you see Panos’s boat is anchored in. Panos was described by the merchant boat as the best Captain in Greece. But, an older boat. Well that was three boats ago. And I tell you, I would go on Captain Panos’s old boat over any Captain in Greece. I cannot wait!

@siamaktahaeiyaghoubi897 2 года назад

That is such a pity that the course is limited to only one video!🙄😒😔🥴because the lady looks like a very good teacher. I am honestly disappointed about this and wish it was a series of short courses. Anyway, as an Iranian living in Turkey, there were some interesting things here that might point out interactions between cultures. For instance, the last word "Meraki" might be rooted in Turkish as "merak" means interest in Turkish (in Azeri, it is Marax). For example, "meraklı" means interested or "merak ettim"; means I became curious/interested. Another word was "iyiya" (health in greak). İyi means good or fine in Turkish; for example "iyiyim" means I am fine (however; in Azeri, we say Yaxşı which is a completely different word). So, I am wondering if the word "iyi" has replaced "yaxshi" by time in the Turkish language spoken in Turkey 🤔
