I am really interested in learning Greek, so I'm wondering if it is going to be a really tough language to learn all by yourself. It certainly looks difficult.

Can you also recommend me good websites that I can go to that teaches basic grammar and vocabularies?

"can you read this?"
how do you spell that in ancient and modern greek?

I am going to get a tattoo in greek that translates into english "I am not yet dead, but they have lit my candles". So obviously i want the correct translation into greek cause this is going to be on my skin. Can someone please tell me which of these translations is correct

this one came dirrectly out of a book that translated it as " Ακόμα δεν απέθανα κι ανάψαν τα κεριά μου "

and then i used a online translator, it came out like this

" δεν είμαι ακόμα νεκρός, αλλά έχουν ανάψει τα κεριά μου "

can some one please tell me which of the 2 is more correct.

If neither of them are correct than can you please give me a correct translaton....

again the phrase is " I am not yet dead, but they have lit my candles " and im wanting that trasnlated into greek

I know there is Homeric, Attic, but what other kinds oh yes, there is Koiné or the spoken trade Greek used by the writers of the Gospel and Paul in his books and letters.

What other kinds of Greek are there that are considered ancient?

Is there a medieval or Byzantine Greek?

Does anyone know how to make the Greek food called Maqloobeh? My friend was talking about it and said she also calls it Upside Down. This is her version and it doesn't make that much sense to me. If anyone knows the correct way to make it or the exact directions....please let me know.

Sarah's version

upside down (Macluba-arabic)

season with salt pepper sazzon and complete seasoning

fry potatoes, carrots, eggplant, and califlower

season rice with salt, complete seasoning, sazzon, maggi(chicken flavor), all spice, and very little curry

put cooked chicked and fried veggies on the bottom of pot then rice over it

fill pot with water until rice is cooked.

I am in a fraternity and we just got charter past May. Now we are in the procedure of getting a house but nobody has really put thought into it. I want to start searching what the steps one has to make so we can establish our own Greek house on campus. Has anyone gone though this? Who can I talk to in the university campus that can help me out? Is there any tips that anyone has to give out?

We have the choice of doing a serious one and a parody, and I am going to be writing a parody for my group. Any ideas on story or topic to write it over?

It can be made up, based on real people, or out of a movie, or anything.

Help would be appreciated! I can't think of anything.

I am getting a tattoo and I want this to be printed on my back either in english or greek letters... can anyone help?!!

Thank you!
I mean to learn to speak Greek (the language). My main priority is to be able to speak; reading and writing are secondary to verbal capabilities.

I wanted to surprise my wife since this was one of our wedding vows ... how do you write this in greek ....

"A promise to make your dreams as important as my own."

or how do you say "A Promise" ... Thank you in advance.

Leave a translation while your at it.

I am Greek, went to greek school, but stopped using the language. My mom speaks to me in English, my dad speaks in Greek but I always give him very simplified Greek responses. I'm obviously not a beginner, because I have the writing, prononciating etc part down, I guess If skill 1 is beginner and skill 3 was expert in the language, I'd be around a 2. I want to expand my vocabulary to be able to express myself entirely as I do in English- I've heard of the Rosetta Stone and other language learning program, but what suits my needs in order to "wow" my parents secretly and show them that i 1(i never forgot it, even though thats not true!) and 2(do it without them knowing that I got the help) in order to prove to them and their friends that I can also speak fluently in my native language. thanks!

i have to write my own greek tragedy for a class... i dont need any citations or anything...just a 1 page story.... and i have no idea wat to write... i cant copy any existing plays and have to make one up myself... and obviously the tragedy is something that relates to the old greek situations not anything modern... i really need help with this!
ur idea isnt wat im looking for cuz its too modern.. i need something that happened back then in greece..

They say that English came from Greek and Latin because of many of the prefixes, the base words, and the root words, and then they say Spanish came from Latin. Did Spanish just come from Latin? I know hablar means to talk while sol is a Latin word for sun that came into the Spanish language. So this is why I asked how were the 2 languages of Greek and Latin formed.

Someone already did their husband and Hercules.

If I learn 20 words everyday , 10 verbs everyday, and learn reading and writing in Greek, how much time will it take for being able to speak with someone, watch a movie,et?

And can you advise me a good website, possibly with audio examples (for prununciation and accent) ?

Do you think 3 months is enough?

Thanks

there are still people who worship the greek gods, I am not the only one. If someone posts about the greek gods, even if they are talking about their religious beliefs, the first category suggestion will be mythology and folk tell. there are Hellenists, Greek neo pagans, Eclectic Greek Polytheist, ETC. it isn't dead beliefs.

I'm planning on getting those words as tattoos and want to make sure that I'm spelling them correctly.

Thanks to all who help me.

the Romans who could read were the educated and the educated Romans could also read in the Greek language.. then why did the educated Romans who also were able to read Greek, read Greek texts through translations such as of Cicero and Horice, when they could read them from the original language?

As far as I know, there is almost know connection between the two. I mean, there are probably some words of Greek origin in Russian and vice versa, but besides that, I don't think they're related.

Am I wrong?

How would I convert specific compounds into their formula and vice versa??

examples:
Dichlorine Heptaoxide (<-turned into formula)
P(4)S(3) (<-turned into compound)

I know how to convert it without using the Greek names, so the 'Di', 'Hexi' and 'Tri' are throwing me off.

I am currently studying (struggling :/ ) w/ greek grammer. I'd like to know of any gr8 text books or free online courses etc... Thanks

I' m leaving in Greece,my husband is Greek and whole his family.I speak Greek also.But I want my kid to speak Serbian with her grandparents,cousins in Serbia!I think i't possible,but I'm worry if I'll confuse my 3years old kid with two language at the same time!

How hard is it to learn greek? Comparisons would be nice (harder than spanish, easier than japanese, etc.). also, my second question is what's the best online resource for learning it that you've seen?
i have a very good english vocabulary (despite being 14 years old) and i'm a native english speaker. in fact, one reason greek interests me is because i respect the greek influence on english.

Please tell me also how to write it in all big characters and all small characters. thanks.

Can they understand the old Greek scripts?

the context is phi(a number). I have a given mean and standard deviation.

I was in math class and my teacher was talking about the greek symbols and how we use them in math and i was wondering if greek words are generally ever written using the normal alphabet?
