Numbers

When dealing with numbers in Greek, remember that they use decimal points the way Western folks
use commas, and that they use commas the way that Western folks use decimal points. For example,
the number "1,234.59" would be written as "1.234,59" in Greek.

[+]Letters and Pronunciation
[+]Phrase list
Greek is one of the oldest attested Indo-European languages, known from 1400 BC in inscriptions in a syllabary of
Minoan origin. The present alphabet was introduced by a Phoenician called Qadmu () about 800 BC, and has
been in use, with a few letters added and removed, continuously since then. The 24-letter alphabet used in Classical
Greek is the same one used today. Greek is the official language of both Greece and Cyprus, but is only spoken in
the south of the latter.
Many Greek words have been borrowed into other languages, so you will find a lot of these words familiar, such
as (trauma, "injury") and (sofia "wisdom, knowledge"). Originally they were borrowed into Latin,
which became the Romance languages. The changes Greek words underwent in Latin are different from those they
underwent in Greek. For instance, in a rare case of someone actually returning a word he borrowed, (kinema,
motion) was borrowed into Latin as cinema, which in French acquired the meaning "movie", and was returned to
Greek as (sinema).
Greek has changed less in the last two thousand years than English has in the last five hundred. It still has three
genders, five cases, and movable . Although the dative dropped out of use in Greek before the dative merged with
the accusative in English, one can still form the dative of (a stringed instrument smaller than
the), even though it belongs to a new declension. So if you know some Attic or Koine Greek and
pronounce it as Modern Greek, though you will sound archaic, you will probably be understood.
[edit]Letters and Pronunciation
Following are the uppercase and lowercase versions of each letter, followed by its name in English (Latin) and
Greek. (You can also see how the transliteration works)
[edit]Vowel Sounds
VOWELS
/ alpha ()
as in pat
/ epsilon ()
as in pet
/ eeta ()
as in reed
/ iota ()
as in reed, though when followed by a vowel it can often be pronounced like y - example: its very name, it's
either said as iota or yota.
/ omicron ()
as in pot
/ eepsilon ()
as in reed
/ omega ()
as in pot
DIPHTHONGS
/ aplha-iota
as in pet; If you want to pronounce AI as in British English "icon" use the ; the same rule applies to all
other dipthongs with the I letter.
/ epsilon-iota
as in wheat
/ omicron-iota
as in wheat
/ eepsilon-iota
as in wheat
/ omicron-eepsilon
as in pool
/ alpha-eepsilon
/ epsilon-eepsilon
For the last two diphthongs: when followed by a voiceless consonant or a vowel or nothing (end of the
word), the upsilon is pronounced as f resulting to 'af' and 'ef'; though, when followed by a voiced consonant
the f is voiced as well making it a v.. so we have 'av' and 'ev'. (example: 'aura' and 'tau' in Greek are
pronounced as 'avra' and 'taf'.
[edit]Consonants and such
Clusters
CONSONANTS
/ veeta ()
V/v
/ gamma ()
a voiced version of chi, as w in woman, but stronger. Before epsilon () and iota (), as in yet and yiddish.
Also see consonant clusters.
/ thelta ()
as in those / Spanish soft d as in "nido" / Norse /
/ zeeta ()
as in zone
/ theeta
()
th as in thorn / Norse /

Greek phrase
pointers
Its not easy to learn the Greek language because Greek has its own alphabet. Here
are a few helpful pointers that would be correct in most instances.
Letter I
Pronounce the letter I
as "ee" (rhymes with "see")
Letter G
Pronounce the letter g as
the letter "y".
Letter D
Pronounce the letter d as you would pronounce the soft th in
"theology".
