Thread: Anyone interested in Greek??

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

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. но я люблю говорить по русскии.

sorry..

по-русски

It's written in this way, with a hyphen.

katerinaG, of course you can. Click on the EDIT (or ПРАВКА, if you use Russian interface) at the top of your first post in this topic.

Спасибо!

Не за что.

It's definitely NOT easier. (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.

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
if you learn Coptic language before
(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
