Νομίζω ότι το pronunciation μου είναι πολύ καλά (γτ η οικογένεια μου είναι από την Ελλάδα και μιλήσαμε λίγο ελληνικά στο σπίτι), αλλά δεν μπορώ να πω πολλά… δεν γνωρίζω πολλές λέξεις
One of the best compliments I've ever gotten was a gentleman from Makedonia that told me "μιλάς ως Έλληνας". In other words, my Greek is far from perfect, but my pronunciation was enough to have him fooled.
Fantastic video - I especially liked your observation about the diminuitives! May I please ask in future for you to omit the background music? I find it more difficult to understand what you are saying. Unless there is a good reason for it maybe? I'd like to know!
It's seen as depersonalizing a person. People, here too in the U.S., see it as insulting, too. It depends on the how often, and how it's used. When I would refer to my mother as "She" when speaking to the other kids, she would get very angry.
Do you speek Greek like a native?
No, but I want to.

Very Interesting! More please!
Thank you! Fascinating!
Happy it helped :)
Έμαθα νέα λέξη, σήμερα! Κοπάνα! Ευχαριστώ. Ήδη ήθελα ότι μόνο λέτε "εγώ θα πάω" η "εγώ θα κάνω" και τα λοιπά όταν θέλετε να κάνετε έμφαση.

3:38 Δεν με σταματήσει καθόλου. Είναι η αγαπημένη μου γλώσσα και κάνω περπάτημα κάθε μέρα!

Αυτό τον ανέκδοτο περί του νεότερου που μίλησα ελληνικά σαν τον παππού του είναι πολύ ενδιαφέρον!
