Well, Im half greek, & I know that they add "itsa" or "aki/naki" to their names, & I think it's cute. Like, my cousin's name is Mihalia, & everyone calls her Mihalitsa. So my name is Maria, & my friend called me Maritsa once, but it doesn't sound right. Can you help me? What about Maritsaki? Does that work? Lol, I just want a cute name like that Thank you

What's the best online way to learn to speak & write Greek?

I would like to get a tattoo in some greek writing but i am not sure if i should go with the online translators.

Τα φαινόμενα είναι απατηλή. i just want to make sure that's right.
and this as well:
Δεν είμαι αυτό που φαίνεται να είναι
I am not what I appear to be.
&
Appearances are deceptive.

That is what I want to translate.

Is it "ji-ro", long "i" sound, or "ge-ro" hard "g" & long "e", or "ye-ro"?

Since she had been granted honororary citizenship by Greece, for her works on Antique Greece, I assume that everyone in Greece is sad today

@Elcoun, she wasn't a "mentor", she was a philosopher, historian, linguist, specialist in hellenic studies
@Elcoun, ok, I understand

I'm half Greek & I wanted to get a Henna this weekend of my name Lana in Greek but don't know how it is written.

My husband's grandfather immigrated to Baltimore, MD in 1875 from the Isle of Crete, Greece, but I have not been able to find him on any of the Immigration Records or Ship Manifests. We know his name to be John Zarbs, but some of the census reports have it spelled as Zarps, Zark, Zarbes, Zerbes & Zarbis. I was told that he may have changed his name upon entering this country. Any idea what his name is in Greek, and what name I should be looking for? Thank you.

I really like the first two songs of this YouTube video.

If you speak Greek or Turkish (or both!), would you please tell me who sings them? Or would you at least type the lyrics so that I may find the song titles?

Thank you!
Telospantwn & Ovsanna:

Thank both of you so much! I would never have found the songs if you hadn't answered.

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

I bought a new laptop in Greece & (maybe unsurprisingly) everything is in Greek. Is there any way I can change it to English? I tried changing the language settings in the control panel but that hasn't made any difference. I am an IT idiot so please make any instructions very easy! Thank you!
I said I was an IT idiot... it seems that it's on Windows Vista Home Premium I need to change the language Is this possible?
