About Cypriot Greek dialect
Cypriot Greek is the dialect that is spoken by the Cypriots both living in Cyprus and abroad (Greek Cypriot diaspora). Even though it is considered as a Greek dialect, due to the distance from mainland Greece and the isolation from the rest of the Greek-speaking world led to the development of various linguistic characteristics distinct from standard modern Greek.

It's unbelievable having to read the Greek words for what I always thought was "nambou kaneis". 15 years since I left the island and I still find myself hunting Learn Greek videos just to maintain the vocab

[samicruz]

Μου αρέσει πάρα πολύ η κυπριακή διάλεκτος.

[Thalasius]

God bless you my friend. If I can have one conversation with my yiayia in greek I will die a happy man.

[Yggdrasil]

[mattdrat]

I was in Cyprus earlier this year and asked the receptionists at the hotel about the Cypriot dialect with words from this lesson and they seemed pretty unimpressed, as if the words used here were looked down upon. Is there a tendency to think of the dialect as something of less value, or perhaps vulgar in some way, than "normal" Greek?

[TheManFromWhereEastMeetsWest]

my father is greek cypriot and his parents were born in arradipou in Larnaca, my mother is english but i was never taught the language. My cousins all went to greek school whereas i did not. This makes me so disappointed in myself because i'd love nothing more than to speak to my yiayia and papou in their native tongue :(

[rangelso]

I think λαλεω comes from ancient Greek

[Hillz]

Some of the Greek cypriot words that i know of would be; zili gourti, varethika, enin boro, khittijo, vroma leshi, yetis poutana, bellos, pandreftika, balli gari, gabire, goumbare, chingouni, taksiji, pandoufla, chanta, ganjelli, koja gari, ne re ne, portokali, finjani, farmako, gamo ti ratsa sou, gatse pano, poushto turko, pezzevengi, mousakka, lokoumi, halloumi, moro mou, agapi mou, gineka mou, agapo se..
it goes more than that but these are the most vivid ones that I remember

[Πέτρος-γκ]

Πολύ ενδιαφέρον πώς μιλούν στην Κύπρο . Μπορείτε να κάνετε ακόμα βίντεο στο θέμα Κυπριακή λέξη διάλεκτο, ευχαριστώ σε

[mariadowling]

In Cyprus we called our grandmother Stede rather than Γιαγιά. How do you spell Stede in Greek? What does this word mean, and where does it come from? My Greek friends have never heard of it.

[ilovel.a.]

Dude, I've been trying to lose my Cypriot dialect. LOL. Just kidding.

[AUDIOETRADIOATUBES]

Είμαι Γάλλος. Ζω στην περιοχή της Πάφου, όλοι μιλούν κυπριακή διάλεκτο στην ύπαιθρο. Μερικές φορές οι Έλληνες δεν με καταλαβαίνουν.

[geletmote]

Proti erotisi einai, Inta pou kamnis? Game, Set match. Haha
