Basics of Biblical Greek: Chapters 3-4

Pronouncing koine Greek

[ryanmoore]

Thank you for this video. In 1st John, why does the final sentence switch around the order in English? Literally, "the Word was with God and God was the Word." But why do we not translate it this way?

Hi, i am a beginner in koine greek. I have three questions:
1. Which pronunciation do you use for koine greek?
2. When should there be breathing marks? I have looked for an answer to this question but I haven't found an answer yet. And what decided if it should be a smooth or rough breathing mark?
3. What should i learn after the alphabet, vowels, dophtongs, accents and breath marks? Am i ready to start learning words after learning that or is there anything more that i have to learn first?

As is the case with chapter 15, a dedicated video to chapter 5 might simply not be needed.

at which chapter i can find SYLLABLES ?

I am confused a little. In the book, the acute accent is said to denote that the pitch went up a little, while the grave accent denotes the pitch goes down a little. Wouldn't that mean your second pronunciation of Θεος ( I don't have the correct accent on my keyboard ) is the correct one?. I don't think that simply means we simply put stress on the syllable. Admittedly I am using an old edition I purchased used, the second, while the current edition is the fourth.

Where can I find chapter 5?

Hello Mark! Thank you for your videos. I find them very useful. However, your Greek accent is rough. Why don't you check how Greeks pronounce these NT Greek words? This is Greek after all.

To those who ask for Chapter 5, this is another youtuber who talked about Chapter 5 of that book

The last statement was inappropriate. Not funny.
