Greek is an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages, while Persian belongs to the Western Iranian branch. Greek has a written record of over 3,000 years, easily making it the oldest documented Indo-European language. The Greek alphabet, originating from the Phoenician script, was the basis of numerous other scripts, such as Latin, Cyrillic, Coptic, Gothic, and Armenian. The Greek language has virtually impacted other languages in every corner of the world, being an important component of Western civilization, the Christian religion, and the language of some of the fundamental texts of science, astronomy, and mathematics. The Greek language today holds official status in Greece and Cyprus, and is recognized as a minority language in Albania, Armenia, Hungary, Italy, Romania, and Ukraine.
The Persian language (Farsi) is also an ancient language which has had a huge amount of impact on other languages and cultures, mainly the Middle East, as well as Central and South Asia. Classified as one of the Western Iranian languages, Persian holds official status is Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. Persian has strongly influenced many different languages, including numerous Turkic languages, as well as well as Armenian, Georgian, and many languages in the Indian subcontinent. Persian has a long history of literature and it was notable for being the first language in the Muslim world to break through Arabic's monopoly on writing. The Persian language has also influenced the Arabic language, although the impact of Arabic on Persian has been higher. But the influence of Persian in the Muslim world has been strong since the early days of Islam. It was even established as a court tradition instead of Arabic under many ruling Muslim dynasties.
Greeks and Persians have had a long history of contact, dating back to the antiquity when the Persian Empire had control over the modern-day Greece, which they would eventually lose during the Greco-Persian wars. The Persians and Greeks would become enemies and later establish a positive relation since Alexander the Great admired Persian culture and aimed to create a mixture of Greek and Persian culture. - Розваги

TA Videos How the hell is Pezhman a Jewish name? Pezhman is another way of writing Pejman, a very common Persian name.
Matin Rahimi What the hell are you talking about everyone is Muslim? Not true at all! Iranians can be of many different religions, and a lot of Iranians are just "Muslim" on paper, they don't give a shit about this archaic religion!

Parysatis is the third word in Xenophon's work "Cyrus' expedition", when he begins with the phrase: "of Darius and Parysatis came two sons : Artaxerxis and Cyrus." the anc. Greeks were obsessed with the Persians in the classical Era, just as they were obsessed with the Egyptians during the archaic Era. Speaks volumes as to how much admiration and fear they had of them.
@@user-wr8gz7bn5o
Not fear. Xenophon was welcomed at Persia.
@@user-wr8gz7bn5o
Not fear. Xenophon was welcomed at Persia.
Parysatis Shahrokhi thanks
When I spoke of fear, I meant that they were cautious about them, after all the Persians invaded Greece with the task of conquering it. Greek authors say that many Greek individuals immigrated to Babylon, to make a fortune working as warriors or strategists for the great King. Xenophon had to escape Persia after Cyrus' death. But the Greeks feared the Persians and that is why they raised multiple revolts against them in Asia minor, that is why they studied them closely, and finally why Alexander III (the great) of Macedon campaigned successfully against the great King.
Two ancient countries with wonderful languages.

Affection between Greeks and Persians pours out so naturally. As someone who is half-Greek, I have always been welcomed with open arms by my Iranian brothers and sisters, and always returned their affection with my sincere affection as well. As an archaeologist, I LOVE the Achaemenid period and am often far more interested in it than classical Greece--it's lovely to learn something different and Iranian history is so rich--throughout the centuries! Super wholesome video, btw! Thank you!
Ancient respect, my Dear.

He's more like a typical greek know it all. (greek here)

this is the first time I've heard such big shit
It's a common style among Greeks.
Yeah and persian like gomorrah in Italy
The greek man gave us alot of good information about his language . I like his accent.
Yeah but most of the times he was giving false information
He’d be an awesome Greek teacher
Most of the words he claimed ancient greek are actually persian. So he is more like ignorant and arrogant if you ask me

Whe I was kid in Greece. We learn for the mermeds. That if they ask you. If Alexander lives you must say. He is alive and still conquers or they mermeds will sink you.
Greeks are very nice people. Most Greeks I've met, are similar to Kimon. They are knowledgeable and very social. "Khodemooni" as we say in Persian.
Absolutely!!
An interesting experience of mine on this matter. When the movie 300 came out and all reactions of Iranians after, I checked IMDb (international movie database) website where there was arguments by many 300 fans saying why Iranians should act like this and it's just a movie, etc. What amazed me to see how great people the Greeks are was that I realized most replies to those complaints were written by some Greeks to support our Iran/Persia history rather than Iranians themselves! So, I agree. Greeks are very nice and knowledgeable, to say the least.
+Massi We Greeks have deep respect for the Iranian nation which hails from the depths of history just like us. We have also our historical texts even from those times of huge confrontations (Greek-Persian Wars of 5th-4th century BC as well as Roman-Sassanid Wars of 6th-7th century AD) and our ancestors even if writing about "the Persian enemy" they still held Persians in great respect as a civilized nation. Persians too, we know, had expressed similar opinions, e.g. Cyprus the Younger was an admirer of Greek culture and the first Parthian high king actually added the title "Philhellene" to his full signature name. Beyond history, we often meet up with Iranians anywhere in the world and we keep getting the same experience : civilized, ultra-cultured people with deep education and a way of being not far away from ours.
Vivian Smith-Smythe-Smith wow man you have a lot of information about Persian! Thanks😎
Last phrase: we have "Lashkar keshi" too. That means exactly like that Campaign! Or lashkar=army, keshi or keshidan=drag so Lashkar keshi= Drag Army(Armies) or smothing like this, idk!

In Greek we use the word Farsi (the persian language) as an expression when someone knows a language very well! For example he speaks english farsi ! :)
Thank you! That's so interesting!!
Bahador Alast exactly! In greek speaking a language farsi means you are speaking it fluently!
How cool is that! Alexander (Iskander in Farsi) the Great must have imported/ exported some words from/ to the ancient Persian Reign. I can tell my dad now who is from Afghanistan that he speaks Farsi farsi. 😂 Unfortunately, I do not do so because German is my mother tongue...

Funny enough one word for chuch in Tagalog/Filipino is "Iglesiya" which comes from the Spanish "Iglesia" which in turn comes from the Latin "Ecclesia" by way of Ancient Greek "Ekklesia". Weird how far words can travel
In Indonesia church is "gereja" it is coming for portuguese "igreja" wonder why not using latin variant like "iglesia" "ecclesia"
It’s not the words that have traveled far but Spanish and Persian are Indo European ( Indo Germanic ) languages. That’s why there are similarities between Greek, Persian and Spanish languages and some other European and other languages with that root.
@@Sriwijaya888 Because the first missionaries that entered Indonesia were Portuguese Jesuit priests.

Very interesting.
This Greek man is very knowledgeable.
He really reminds me of older Arabs when they talk. They love to talk about their culture and are very knowledgeable and proud of their history. I just love how the Mediterraneanian, Near Eastern, and Middle Eastern cultures still have some amazing similarities. In the languages and even the way they talk/manners. Fascinating.
Retro Controller true. Even many people and cultures from the Indian subcontinent (I guess that’s what you meant by Near Eastern) have similar mannerisms and similarities in the languages.
Edit: Near East≠Indian subcontinent
Arka Seth *No. "Near East" is a term to describe the "Levant" (Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Jordan etc).* The Indian Subcontinent has absolutely nothing to do with the Levantine world. It's two different entities.

Thank you! And yes, we noticed, but just prefer not to interrupt him :)
They were different wars for different reasons. Both sides wanted to enter to a new land and to explore a new culture. Respect was granted and given. Not for "oil, guns, submit and demolish a whole nation under false pretensions in order to control the money". They admired monuments and rich culture. They didn't blew off on purpose anything that meant civilization. Women and children were of the limits as well...
@@fayeprotopapa5529 wow i love your comment. Your idea about war between two nations is just like mine. I would like to read some good books about it. Any suggestion? Love from northern iran. Mazandaran province💜
I think bajanakis is a word from turkish origin, the greek word is κουνιάδος (kuniados), we use both of them
@@BahadorAlast you did the right thing, this video was great.

i love iranian people and the persian language, iranians are the most hospitable people of the world. from a greek.
Likewise, we love Greeks and the Greek culture and language! I visited Greece 2 years ago and can't wait to go back, beautiful country, people, culture, and history!
hello and respect to you
amazing to see and hear these things ❤
SO YOU NEVER BEEN TO SERBIA?
i love Greece and your people as well and i have a plan to visit your beautiful country
Hello from Iran, it was really interesting to be able to guess Greek words in Persian or vice versa. I participated with you in guessing 😘❤🇮🇷🇮🇷
This is a great video. The words in both languages are also similar to Spanish. Many roots in Spanish come from Greek. This is amazing!
Even though Greeks and Persians fought so much, today we all love each other. So much respect for both Greeks and Persians. Both amazing people with amazing histories.
Respect to Greece 🇬🇷 from a Canadian Iranian
Canadian Iranian makes no sense, they're both nationalities. Neither of them are ethnicities
Reasonable and?
@@Gutians im Scandinavian Kurdish
Wtf a Canadian Iranian
Respect to iran from a British Greek
I'm armenian and understood most of the words 🙂 greek and persian have unique pronunciations 😍
quite a cool video!
The Greek man was entertaining and he really wanted to share knowledge. Amazing video!
Like all the greeks love to do...is our CODE language...really amazing it's unlock human mind
@@dimitrisvasileiou7020 so true!!! All greeks do that!!!
I'm Greek and I've been fascinated by the Persian language for years, I think it sounds utterly beautiful... Sometimes I watch random Iranian videos on youtube just so that I can listen to it.
pitsinokaki i love greek language i love nikos vertis😘
Haha, really? :) :) Good to hear! Hopefully you'll be able to come to Greece and watch him live at some point! I hope to visit Iran someday.
I do the same :P
@Stateira Ardeshiri Thank you so very much for these videos! :) You have a very beautiful name.
@@vangelisefthimiatos964 Thank you very much for the recommendation - I'll watch it!
I'm a Turkish speaker, and i got it almostly all the words except 2 or 3 words. Greek speaker is really good at this point, he's very knowledgeable about it. It was a great video, thanks :)
Έως ένας Ιρανός που έχει ζήσει 14 χρόνια στην Ελλάδα Μπορώ να σας πω Μεγάλη συγχαρητήρια 🙏❤️ Πολύ ωραία και μπράβο σας
به عنوان یک ایرانی که ۱۴ سال یونان زندگیکرده خیلی لذت بردماز این ویدئو 🙏
I know it's not going to be convenient for me (probably I'm not going to use it)BUT I really want to learn Greek, oh God, it's such a beautiful language...💘🇬🇷 Greetings from Azerbaijan.. 👋🇦🇿💞
You are always welcome here. It's a perfect opportunity to practice it. As welcome is everyone on this beautiful planet.
Eleftherios Tarlantezos maybe one day, who knows and thank you for kind words... 💞
Περικλής Σίμος are you sure??? Bc as an Azerbaijani and 90s kid we grew up by listening to Spanish and Greek music (Anna Visit, Despina Vandi and so on) so we do really appreciate Latin and Greek culture and also every year there are so many people who are visiting Greece and it's also in my bucket list so hopefully one day I can visit Greece as well... So I'm really wondering why do you think that way??
learning greek is convenient for everyone speaking english-french-spanish and other languages since they have deep roots in greek .you'll get to know the deeper and philosophical aspect of talking itself.it sounds pompous to hear it from a greek maybe, but it's so true...
aleksandros c. Oh really?? Unfortunately I don't have much knowledge about that, can you please enlighten me??
I like that greek man. He is smart.
Muhammed Ibrahim are you gay 😜
Babar Zardan. I am a Muslim. I think that's a good answer to your stupid question.
He never saw a Muslim gay before, that's his problem! haha
Gays if someone have irritation then use burnol 😜😉😄 I haven't say something about religion
It was little joke but you got it so serious
Babar Zadran It won't cost you anything to be a bit polite. He only said he likes the Greek man, didn't say he loves him!
As an Indian I was able to recognize most of the Greek and Persian words just by searching for their counterparts in Indian languages or in English. Example - Kanonos, Iremia, Okeanos, dou, etc
Not really
My greetings to Bahador and company, this greek man is one or your best guests.... also this is one of my favorite videos.
Iran and Greece share so much history, love and respect both of them form Armenia(interestingly in Armenia during chat we refer to Iran by calling it Persia even today)
Not a friendly history, but in fact they share it
@@luissuarez5153 Hahaha That is interesting how our ancestors used to fight and now we laugh at those times
And both languages are so pleasant to listen to.
too much wars 😂
Luis Suárez Are you from Greece or Iran?
I don't know why but i feel respect for Persian people, maybe there are a lot of stuff that connects us and i find them very friendly. Greetings from Greece
Deep respect and love to Greece from Persia
Iam persian and I love greece, every time i am in greece feel like my second home
@@mahtabgolshanebrahimi494 better having you as neighbor's than turkey
@@nikosx6905 good point
@@nikosx6905 Yep
Thanks for the video
kimon's voice is a good candidate for an ASMR story narration or podcast
Im Greek and that video made me smile. Also made me thought, that all people should only focus on all the similarities we have (and are many) instead of the differences. Like that we would make a much better world. The Persian woman is gorgeous. :) Love from Greece.
Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Thank you! We love Greece - from Iran :)
Two of the biggest civilizations on this planet. Respect to all Iranians for their history and their culture. I hope one day I will visit your wonderful country. 🇬🇷 🇮🇷
THANK YOU!!😍😍
You are very welcome to visit!!! Don't worry about the stupid Islamist government, they don't harass tourists, they only bother us, and we are not like them, so you will have lots of fun here!!!!🙂🙂
Greetings from Iran!!!!!!!!
@@tannazmehrdadi8774 Iranian govt sounds a bit like Chinese govt :)))
@@tannazmehrdadi8774 I want to visit Iran one day too! Such a Beautiful People with an ELITE HISTORY 👍
Bahador jaan love your videos !
Fascinating channel.
We are all related from the ancient world
Peace and love to Iran and the Persians by a fellow Greek
So much love and respect from us Iranian people for Greece and Greek culture and people!!!!!! 😍😍 Greeks are such warmhearted people, and have such a rich history and amazing country!! 😘😘😘
I love Greek people, always when I'm in Greece or Cyprus when they understand I'm Persian they seem genuinely happy. I'm a master of the Komboloi 😄
Daniel Shahbazi so glad to hear! I want to go to Iran too it seems so beautiful ❤❤❤
We have a lot of common history! Greeks tend to have a soft spot for other great ancient people.
Respect to Iran 🇮🇷 from Greece 🇬🇷 I actually found out I had some Iranian ansestors so that’s niceee
Wow that’s amazing 😍 I’ve always thought Persians and greeks have similar features
@@Cloudnine422 just war
I understood ostokhan before him, and I'm Italian. I'm so proud of myself (I study ancient Greek)
Hahaha
I guessed it early too.. due to my medical background 🤣
Ancient greek? Is that a major? Wow..
That's quite good
yes same was for me (Serb) but via osteology
Iranians and greeks are two ancient nations who lived next to each other and both of them are from Indo-european groups so these similarities are not weird however the mother of the great persian king Darius was greek and wife (wives) of Alexander the great was persian too.so happy these two old nations are still alive though they are not in good situation.love both greece and iran (and any iranic and greek people outside of political borders)❤❤
All Asian people is not true Hellas not is same with another European people and no another country to Europe is same
@Voskre Glavincevska Hellas is Hellas and asyrians is asyrians to this world have countries with no brain and hystory and want to take little history from another country but the world knows history and the ancients books tell the truth
@Voskre Glavincevska. assyrians were not greek, they were a semitic mesopotamian people. do you mean armenians? armenians had greek culture and tribes amongst them selves.
First Greek is from 18 century isn't ancient! Hellas is city country like Athens Sparta and more like that. Macedonian is ancient country! No city state big difference and in 1913 year Macedonia was separate in four pieces, the 1 biggest part get Greece, 2 then Serbia , 3 Bulgaria and 4 little Albania. In 1944 after the World War Serbia is back as one part who is now Macedonia. Greece did the biggest genocide to Macedonian people 2 000 000 was killed , assimilated and vanish. And they don't like us they want to disappear from earth. Just look at the moment in video : Greece army marching in Thessaloniki. And you will understand.
Why you Greeks get so mad so quickly
Or you Just afraid of what are you going to hear
Greece is made up with 90% Arbanites and 10% defeated Roman/Gippsy from Byzantine Empire
What makes Greek today is only religion. Without it you are not even a country
That was really fascinating, I had no idea of the connection between Greek and Persian. I'm amazed, well done!
It's interesting cause for example the word kanonas or qanon in Persian is entered Arabic from ancient Greek and then via Arabic to Persian.. Many other Greek words like this especially about science as elixir too has entered Latin via Arabic.
You are amayzing guys. I really loved it. And actually I guessed correctly all the answers as a multilingual one.
The Greek man is very kind.
Yes! Kimon isn't just very knowledgeable, he's also an incredibly nice and kind person!
Don't forget Mahtab the Iranian girl she is also very kind and very beautiful!
is that why he constantly shoves the "Go Alexander the great" sentences at their faces . He doesn't realize Persians don't like Alexander the Great
he should watch how he talks
Aleksandar Kan he dont have greek carrateristics
Actually he has Very common greek characteristics.
So much love and respect from Iranian people for Greece and Greek culture and people!!!!!! 😍😍 Greeks are such warmhearted people, and have such a rich history and amazing country!! 😘😘😘
Tannaz Mehrdadi greetings from Greece! Love and respect to Iranian culture and people!
nikos themelis THANK YOU!!!!! 😍😍❤❤❤
