Anyone interested in Greek??

Is anyone interesting to learning Greek? I can help you. Will you help me with Russian?? :-)

:good: Greek is surely a very interesting language... Philosophy, religion etc was originally written in Greek. Russian is more than enough for me though, lol.... I suspect Greek is just as hard as Russian.

:) One comment, change the header to "Anyone interested in Greek? "

Can i change it?

Letter ы is very hard for us to say. When i started learning русский язык i could't say it at all. I think Greek is easier only because is my native. :wink: но я люблю говорить по русскии.

sorry.. :oops:

It's definitely NOT easier. :wacko: (I can say it because I learned it.)

UPD: Well, to be precise, I learned Ancient Greek, but I don't think they are very different.

Ancient Greek and Greek language as we speak nowadays have differences. The letters are the same, but the words are different.

The words, exactly! But I meant grammar. :wacko:

The grammar is different too. Only the letters are the same but tones are less now. In Russian language is difficult for me to read correctly some words that i haven't heard before. Tones would be useful for the beginners. ( tones i mean [ ' ] i don't know if i say it correctly.

in my opinion
Greek and Russian are very easy :good:
if you learn Coptic language before :good:
(note: Coptic is last version of ancient Egyptian language ;
it's letters similar to Greek alphabet plus 7 letters from Demotic language )

Please, can somebody help me to translate into russian the following combination: "δεσπότης της Φτελιάς"

Дословно: "Владыка береста". Может быть, есть город с именем Φτελιά.

Вот это и хотелось бы выяснить. Может, это какое-то общеизвестное для греков географическое указание.
Типа как для русских - Где? - В Караганде
