Amazing how Greek words and letters actually have massive influence in many fields, yet it's not really a popular language to learn for most people.

I see a lot of influence from the Greek language in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and especially history, even the Bible had Greek influence (the biblical New Testament was originally Greek while the Old Testament was in Aramaic).

Πάμε ελληνικά! Πάμε Ελλάδα! 🇬🇷 δεν είμαι Έλληνας χαχα, αλλά, διαβάζω ελληνικά τώρα και μου αρέσει πάρα πολύ αυτή η γλώσσα ❤ I am studying Greek right now and I love it. It just makes me sad that you hardly ever see content on the Greek language like this. It's not a very popular language but I think it should be. It's a very beautiful, complex, and intriguing language. It's also very ancient. I wish more people saw the beauty in it and studied it

Fun fact: the Latin alphabet is also Greek in origin, taken to the Italian peninsula by Greek colonies. In the Greek city-states of antiquity there were many alphabets. Until in the 5th century BC in Athens, all alphabets were brought together and unified into one, the one we have today, minus 4 letters which were removed in the era of the Roman Empire.

The italian girl should’ve said that in italy there’s a type of highschool where we study ancient greek, but even if she didn’t study it, she should’ve been able to know many more letters since it’s common knowledge here and also used for math

It was great to hear them spoken by a native speaker. Would love to hear the rest.

Never studied Greek, but I got most of them right cause of all the letters I found during my scientific studies. Also yes, as Italian I can say we have a lot of words coming from Latin and Greek

For some reason I studied the Greek alphabet and Roman numerals in high school in Venezuela, so this time I got them all right

The Spanish girl talking about Greek words as brands, I've seen a TED-talk, a linguist gave his own, kind of relevant interpretation about it. The companies which decide to use a Greek word as their name have slightly higher chances to succeed. All I remember, I was amazed by his conclusion and some data he provided. He's talking generally how powerful the Greek language can be and how is still shaping us, despite of the widespread use of English.

Greek letters were learned in primary school in Argentina, and we used them for math.
Transformers is Unicron, not Omicron Andrea...

Greek is similar to Russian because Cyrillic is a writing system made by Orthodox Christians when they expanded Christianity into the pagan lands of the Kievan Rus. It is based on classical Greek alphabet adapted for the old Russian sounds.

In German, we literally call Y Ypsilon. It's the only letter that has such a long "name" in our language.

Unfortunately, we all learned Greek letters either by studying math or due to Covid19 variants.

In Spanish, when we use greek letters in Maths or Physics, we call τ tau (pronounced taoo), ν nu (pronounced noo) and μ mu (pronounced moo), φ is fi (pronounced fee)
θ is theta (pronounced teta), but δ is delta, ρ is ro, γ is gamma... I suppose psi, sigma, omicron, lambda don't change in other languages, but maybe I'm wrong.

Hellenic is older than Latin!
Latin alphabet was based on Hellenic.

They might be confusing for them but you are all using Hellenic letters.
Slavs too! The Cyrillic alphabet was invented by two Hellene🇬🇷 monks based on the alphabet they knew: Hellenic.
They used that alphabet to write the language of the Rus and convert the Slavic people to Orthodoxy!

Something that very few people know is that if you say the names of the letters you are making a prayer to the Sun!
Every time that you are saying the alphabet you are praying to the eternal and life-giving light of the Sun-God Apollo!

for anyone wondering, the multiple I's and E's are a remnant of ancient greek.
which had more complicated, and more in total, pronunciations.
lucky us, modern greek simplified all those into a single sound each.

Also trying to remember how the greek 'O' sounds are spelled/pronounced you could remember their etymology. Omikron (Ο/ο) means mikro 'O' (=little O) while Omega (Ω/ω) means mega 'O' (=Big O)

In spanish the letter Y is called "i griega" (literally greek i)
