Thanks Dr. Zachariou for spreading the Original modern Greek vs the incorrect Erasmian pronunciation. Could you please make another video for parsing the verbs of the Nicene Creed? Thanks God bless your teaching. Sam
Super fantastic Philemon! God bless you for making this excellent video of the Nicene Creed!This helps us Greek learners to study and know how to pronounce the blessed Nicene Creed.May God bless you for taking the time to make this for all of us!In Christ's Love,John A.
George, I appreciate your response and interest. If you view my video GREEK PRONUNCIATION 2 (Phonetics)-at around 6.20 minutes from start-you will notice the explanation that a voiced (vd) sound is one produced with the vocal cords in vibration, while a voiceless (vl) sound is one produced with the vocal cords at rest. It is true that you can detect voiceness/voicelessness by placing your finger on your throat while making such sounds-whether in Greek or in English, for that matter. Such details take time and space, though, so I do not include them in all videos. But I am glad that you've got your answer. By the way, the vd / vl distinction in pronouncing Greek words containing ευ, αυ, ηυ (ev, av, iv / ef, af, if) is in a way "automatic" in that the -υ part conforms by assimilation to the vd or vl sound that immediately follows. That means that you can pronounce, e.g., αὐτός aftos "he" or αὐλός avlos "flute" naturally, as it were, the right way. I suppose that just knowing the mechanics involved in such cases is just as important as being able to pronounce things correctly. All the best. -PZ
This video is a great blessing, thank you for taking the time to create it! Can I request you also help us with the Our Father? I would love it, and I'm sure many others would also. There are a few sections in this awesome prayer that I totally butcher with bad pronunciation. Καλή δύναμη και καλή συνέχεια αδερφέ!
Dear Basil, I am delighted that you have found GREEK PRONUNCIATION 6 (The Nicene Creed) helpful. As for the prayer "Our Father" (Πάτερ Ἡμῶν), it is referred to in English as "The Lord's Prayer." Please go to UA-cam and search for GREEK PRONUNCIATION 2 (Phonetics). You will be able to read and hear this prayer.at the end of the video. It is read first slowly, and then at regular speed. Blessings! -PZ
Hello Philemon, thank you for your reply! I found the video you suggested to help with proper pronunciation of the Lord's Prayer. It is very helpful! Thank you for your efforts. May our great and loving God continue to bless you abundantly brother!

The Nicene Creed is so important for us, for all Christians. I am Turkish Christian. And I believe that Our Lord & God Jesus Christ is the son of living God .

He is eternal mediator betweenGod Our Father & all nations throught the power of Holy Spirit. Jesus is God from God light from light . True God from true God. Jesus is not created !

The Neohellenic ("Modern" Greek) pronunciation is the pronunciation used in the Orthodox Church today. The same pronunciation is also closest to the pronunciation used by the first Greek-speaking Christians, hence the pronunciation of New Testament times. The Nicene Creed in this video would have sounded quite normal to the first Greek-speaking Christians -PZ
Modern Greek is pronounced the same as the Koine Greek of the New Testament. And yes this is what is used in the original Koine Greek Divine Liturgy of the Greek Orthodox Church since the first Christians.
@@PhilemonZachariou I am glad you replied, I just love the passionate way you teach. I begun to learn Biblical greek about 5 months ago, I already learned to recite Páter Imón and I am half way the Nicean Creed! Both your site and your YT Channel are outstanding contributions! Thanks!!!
Sir, you have no idea the questions you have answered and the gift you have given with this video. I have nothing cool to say but thank you!
Friend, that's cool enough! Thanks! -PZ

Thanks for this website, it will help me in as small to pronounce Biblical Greek words. I am watching from Zambia.
Hello, dear friend in Zambia. May you be blessed as you practice the Biblical sounds of Greek. -PZ

What are your thoughts on the Filioque?
I would only entertain questions related to Greek linguistic issues. Thank you. -PZ
It’s a heresy.

Thank you!!!
You're welcome! -PZ
Is this modern greek? Is this what is used in Orthodox divine liturgy in the Greek orthodox church?
