Aristotle says by using metaphors it makes learning fun. You did not use a single one. Most of your constructions were sloppy and inelegant.

Most importantly pitch is not fixed to individual words, it depends on the sentence. You failed to make that salient point. Naive dissertation. And NO why.

Too progress you need to denounce the bow-wow and oh-ah theories of linguistics. And accept the fact that MAN has ALWAYS spoken cohesively that is in complete sentences. Which by your arguments you have just proved even though you do not have the wit to see it.

A stand alone word cannot have pitch. So why is that? Come on get real. Where is the reasoning?

Why? You totally do not understand the reason for the tonal quality of a language. Why? Why is it tonal? Why? Why? Why?

So three tones with a modulated tone.

Obviously the tones are marked by diacritics which you fail to mention.

It’s actually called elision, which you fail to mention.

Perhaps start the video as to the number of tones? Eg Sanskrit has 5 tones or three depending on the texts.

All of this sounds like magic spells to my untrained, uneducated ear; John Adams was absolutely right when he called Ancient Greek "the Supreme Language."

Couple historical notes: Erasmian pronunciation was not designed by or for English speakers (Erasmus was Dutch) and based on her accent in some interviews, I’m not sure that Angela is a native English speaker either. I prefer more historical pronunciations as well, but Greek is hard enough that I wouldn’t fault anyone for going with the more logical Erasmian system.

I saw this clip in my feed and was pleasantly surprised to watch it and observe an expert in a field I didn't know existed in action. Its quite fascinating to learn of the subtleties and differences - well done for you persistence and time taken to become so knowledgeable in ancient Greek. Appreciate your work!

Nonsense, z

Τοῦτο γελοῖόν ἐστιν! 😂😂

Can you remind me please why use Lucian rather than attic, or koine?

Καλον έργον!

Thanks kindly for this! You provided also some deep material for meditation.

Thank you very much! So valuable! I'm also looking forward to Matthew Chapter 5 (and 4 of course 😊). ❤

12:22 - omg, the names are the same as 4 French accents ... Yoy.. this reminds me of a self talk after seeing a video ith (short) two in a car comparing ith french w swedish (?) Or ith the comparisson just started in my mind... but it was sth on the pitches... (& ith french has sth like it tho more subtly, or it used to have in older times??)

8:08 - the more interesting part is trying to understand it when you dk what's written there 😂 (in ppl's minds, if anything...)

7:26 - ith this one is kinda like in French when you have the linking of words în sound like in ... Oh no example comes to me... but if you know (any) French, you know what I mean...

Pitch accent s also part of Swedish The reason I couldn't carry on with it (well one of the reasons) ith its not that wide in there, but pretty overwhelming for a girl who speaks shyly... while trying my luck at swedish I realised you need real confidence to start speaking 4 real a lang like that... (similarly with chinese much earlier, tho felt more overwhelming...)

Grave is thus explicit neutral tone?

It was a scam... any choice he might have made would have started the Trojan war.

Χαῖρε! Συνχαριτήριαν ἔχω Ηζηκιέλι!

Carla, I just found your lovely channel today. And it seems like it was a perfect time to do so. Welcome back! (I'm so glad I didn't need to miss you). And welcome young Ezekiel.

She returns! Welcome back and congratulations on the little one.

Welcome back, and congrats!

Welcome back! So glad to see a new video pop up.

Great video! Never thought of Xi having the three lines even in the lower case version, maybe that will help me remember how to write it :D

It might just be me, but when you say /çøyros/, it sounds more like /çœyros/ to me (my ears could be playing tricks on me)

The first four animal names make sense if you speak French (for the horse, cf. hippomobile). I have not watched the rest yet.

Her lessons seem to focus on Biblical Greek. Are they basic enough that they would mostly apply to Attic Greek too, or are they really specifically just for learning Koine Greek?

Christmass is paganism

You should learn what a diaeresis is οι is pronounced eeh not ohee. It is only pronounced ohee if there is an diaeresis over the ιοτα. Otherwise ohee is written ωι. Modern Greeks pronounce the words like ancient Greeks there has never been a change unless you can specifically point when the change happened.

Great content, thanks. In order to make it even more beautiful, you may be interested in this meta-related topic: ua-cam.com/video/MlImdr_mJ2s/v-deo.html

Good work. Jesus is Lord. Compare Revelation chapter 1 verses 8,17 & 18 ; and Revelation chapter 22 verses 12 to 16 with Isaiah chapter 44 verse 6 and Philippians chapter 2 verse 10 with Isaiah chapter 45 verses 18 to 23. Bless The Lord o my soul and all that is within me bless His Holy Name... Nicholas John Papadopoulos , Auckland ,New Zealand.

What books would you recommend? I really really wish to learn Ancient Greek but I have no idea where to start.

Fantastic !!! Fantastic !!! Some two decades ago I worked out a part of this, as follows, though I failed to publish it. So I am glad to see your achievement. Evidently, you have used a wider range of evidence than I did, and you are far more expert than I was. I guess that you have an Australian accent, like mine? My story is that the scheme must be so simple that a one year old child will naturally master it. The top and bottom pitches are about a musician's fourth interval apart. At about 12:00, I would say that the grave is the same as no acute, aka unaccented, as your written note says. It means that the top pitch is maintained, until an acute accent mark comes along; I wouldn't call it transitional. My fundamental rule is that an acute accent mark is the immediate precursor of an abrupt drop in pitch to the bottom. Consequently, a circumflex is an acute on the first mora, indicating an abrupt drop to bottom pitch on the second mora. A sentence starts at the mid pitch and immediately proceeds to the top pitch. Then the top pitch is maintained, right through an acutely accented syllable, till immediately after the acute accent mark. Immediately after the bottom pitch, one goes to the mid pitch and then the top pitch, which is maintained till immediately after the next acute accent mark. I think this more or less agrees with your scheme. Ready to discuss.

Amazing , without studying ancient Greek but speaking modern greek as mother tongue ,this is very intelligible to me .

Your channel is incredible. Thanks so much!

How is Zeus pronounced in ancient classical Greek say from 500 BC?

Εὐχαρίστω σoι. This was fantastic.

Given that pitch accents may well have been dead by then anyway, especially one imagines in non-native communities like the Jews of the Levant (not talking about Josephus, we’re talking about like “John”), it makes no sense to me to read New Testament Greek in this way tbh…

can someone please say the name of the font used in the video

Several still spoken European languages still have a pitch accent: Lithuanian, Latvian, Slovenian, Swedish, etc. Why not base ancient Greek pitch accent upon a comparison with these living Indo-Germanic languages, rather than on the totally unrelated Chinese?

You mean the mythra/nimrod christ mass story... christmass has nothing to do with Jesus! Christmass is pagan catholic idolatry.

what is the Greek form of the word "Keenee" for "Koinay"? Just heard of that today, smh. I found a teacher who seems to stress pitch and accents, like yourself; he read beautifully, connecting the next word over, just as you do. Then he made a huge point of saying "it's KEE-NEE, not KOY-nay", like several times in a row before moving on. Wondering which form of Greek I will be teaching myself. TIA.

It's like counting music!
