- Kalispera paidia! Today we will talk about our experiences with the Greek language, like awkward situations where we have said or pronounced Greek words completely wrong. There are many Greek words that for us almost sound the same but they have a completely different meaning!😅
Follow us on Instagram @athenswives.
Do you want to work in Greece? Send an email to athenswives@gmail.com and we will explain more about the jobs here. There are jobs for all languages to be found here.
Follow us in our everyday life and experience life in Athens, Greece. In our channel we will show you our best tips on places to visit, cities, islands, restaurants, bars, cafes, beaches and many more fun and interesting things. Both inside and outside of Athens.
My scandinavian friend called her friend 'Archidis' instead of 'Argiris'
Needless to write that after a moment of silence ... everyone dropped to the floor laughning !
😄😄😄👌
I’m so related with your Greek speaking situation, same experience with those words sounds the same but with different meaning.. really difficult Greek words … it’s nice sharing your experience. Keep going ladies.
Yes it can be really confusing😅🇬🇷 Thank you for your comment and for watching🥰 We appreciate it💙
Mouni island! Kolokafteri! Love you girls! I had a very rough day and you make me laugh. Thank you!
Thank you so much!😄❤️
You made me laugh very much. You are so lovely.
This one was very funny 🤣🤣🤣.
The hard part is writing all the names you mentioned, because this also defines the meaning along with the tone:
Αγόρι - boy
Αγγούρι - cucumber (γγ -G, but depending on the word also γκ - G, ου - U)
Πόλη - city
Πολύ - much
Πολλή - a lot of (feminine form)
Πολλά - many things (plural form)
Πολλοί - many people (plural form)
Πουλί - bird
The EEs are also many : η, ι, υ, ει, οι and the tone on the diphthongs goes on the second letter.
The Fs can be φ or ευ - ef (εύκολο - easy. ευχαριστώ - thanks, ευχάριστο - pleasant)
If you want to pronounce the letters of a diphthong separately they must be written εϊ - οϊ so that they are pronounced HEY or like your favorite OI.
If there is a tone as well, then it can be on the first letter like έι or όι and this means a separate pronunciation of the letters.
Regarding the TAXI driver story, I think it's better to say you don't understand something, rather than say yes to something you don't know what it really means.
Keep up the good work about learning Greek.
Thank you so much😃❤️ and thank you for sharing some grammar and these Greek words and the spelling of them👍 We will keep practice our Greek😁💙🇬🇷
Thanks for the laughs! Great episode!
Thank you so much!😄❤️
Ni är så trevliga!!!
En liten tip bara om ord "αγόρι" och "αγγούρι" ...
När man seger "αγόρι" med en "γ" är liksom på svenska "ge", man seger "(g)e mig nånting" men istället för "e" seger man "å" "agåri", och på ordet "αγγούρι" då är det vanligt g som på svenska "ja(g)", hoppas att det hjälper lite 😉
Tack så mycket!😃💕 Vi uppskattar det!
You guys are adorable ! This was so funny and cute! I have one to share! I am Greek American and I am learning Italian (and French), but not living in either of those countries so you can imagine how much slower it is to learn. Anyway, I was having a conversation in Italian and was talking about how I came home very late from a trip the night before. My Italian friend asked me how I slept, since I came home so late. I answered (in Italian): Oh, I took two pilots to bed and I slept great!. I meant to say I took two pills (sleeping pills)...
Thank you so much😄🥰💕 and your story with the two pilots was very funny haha😂👍
hahaha this is the most funny video you ever made....by the way Victoria pregnancy has beautified you a lot. Ciao !
Thank you so much!😄❤️❤️❤️
This is sooooo much fun! Μπράβο σας, κορίτσια, τέλειο βίντεο! :)

😄😄😄
Thank you so much for watching🥰❤️
Loool, plz more awkward videos! 😂 So sweet!
Haha😅 Maybe we will do another one😅 Thank you so much for watching🥰❤️
9:00 Both words came from the same root, so it's understandable that this mistake could be made. At some point in time the meanings of the words from this root started to acquire a new sense and those words started to diverge in meaning. Still, they are not very far off but they are far enough!
Thank you so much for explaining this!☺️💙 We appreciate it!
Ποιο πουλί πετάει πιο ψηλά … ? Το πουλί του αστροναύτη !! which bird flies higher... ? the astronaut bird !! 👍👍👍
😂👍
😂
Παναθεμα σας το καταλάβατε το αστείο ρε.....@@athenswives
another funny thing is with your pronunce of pagakia (ice cubes).pagakia we hear this like pangakia whitch mean bench
The bench is pagkaki or pagaki, not pangaki. There's no "n".
Thank you for letting us know😊 So another two words that are very similar then😅 bench and ice cube👍
very funny video. thanks for sharing
Thank you so much😃 and thank you for watching💙
Bravo sas koritsia, ke kali sinehia, ola poli orea, E.P.

Αν θες να πεις για κάποιον/κάποια οτι ειναι soulmate χωρίς όμως να απευθύνεσαι εκείνη την ώρα (άμεσα δηλαδή) σε εκείνον/εκείνη (τότε λέμε φυσικά ότι θα πεις σε κάποιον και όχι για κάποιον), μπορείς να πεις ότι είναι αδερφή ψυχή (literally translates to sister soul )
Thank you so much for explaining this😊 We appreciate it❤️
😂😂😂 this was great. I can't believe we indeed call people "my people pipi" 😅
Thank you so much!😄❤️
You are so cute and funny when you speak Greek, its a pleasure for someone to listen..
Now about your struggles with aggouri-αγγουρι-cucamper and agori-αγορι-boy,remeber the diference is the double G, aGGouri for cucumber with a strong pronunciation for G and a single G for aGori with a lighter pronunciation of G ,i hope i am a bit helpful..😂😂 In the next video we will learn about kolokithokeftedes ...
Thank you so much for your comment🥰 It's very helpful and we appreciate it a lot❤️ It's very difficult the Greek language😅🇬🇷

Greek language 💙🤍

Very funny!!!
Thank you!😅😁❤️
So cute
💙💙💙
Τι ωραίο μαγαζί καλή λευτεριά κοπέλα μου
Thank you so much🥰💕
Αγόρι, boy, the G sound is more like an English Y sound. Like, Yiannis, or Year. Αγγούρι which is cucumber , the G sound is like a G sound, like Global and Growth.
It's easier to not make these mistakes if you know how they spell in Greek. I don't know your background, this is the first time I watch your videos. Αγόρι has one "γ"/"g", where Αγγούρι has two. Most of the time when you have two together they make the thick G sound.
Enjoy your life here!
EDIT: I just noticed others commented on this, I won't just delete it. Sorry I didn't check.
Hi!😃 Thank you so much for explaining this😊 We always appreciate some help with the Greek language🇬🇷 Thank you for watching🥰💙
Which Pouli flights higher than others? the pouli of the Astronaut

The positive vibes and the chemistry you share are wonderful. As regards to the greek language, don't give up girls.😂 You're doing great. I my self in my first visit to an English super market i ask an elder sales woman for ...nipples... instead

Thank you so much!😃❤️ Haha we really feel you on that one!😄 Nipples insted of needles💙
I used your videos to help me create a pocket card which had Greek terms and words.
That's perfect!😍🙌

Greek language is very difficult anyway. I'm surprised by your level of yours especially Victoria's
