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. - บันเทิง

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.
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.
I am Iranian and I wish the best for the people of the Greece .......
i realy find the Iranians to be good people...it is easy to see that is an ancient civilisation...Greetings from Greece

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.
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...

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!
Vivian Smith-Smythe-Smith baba damet garm ceghadr kobi tu❤
Alexander and Cyrus shook hands.
Peter Jackson and then proceeded to burn the most civilised parts of each other’s country
actually Alexander admired Cyrus so much and he used to read his biography
@His Majesty greek soldier named xenophon wrote a biography of cyrus called cyropedia
@Mahi Gh it is more like Alexander and Xerxes ( Khashayar shah) shaking their hands and Cyrus shake hand with Plato.
@Mahi Gh actually Alexander the great is the most known strategist, army captain and leader in the world...
The greek man is so educated and knows how to explain in a very fun way
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.
@jaecee It is weird in the most wonderful way!Isn’t etymology and linguistics so cool?! 😄

From north Greece Macedonia, I love Persian people and culture. Great history, great country. Great movies.
I think age is beneficial in spotting similarities between languages. When I was 18 I had trouble with dialects within my own country. Now at closing on 70 I hear similarities between languages everywhere. A hear lot of Greek and therefore Persian, in Germanic languages.
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.

Doing a great job by arranging these interesting debates. Excellent. Keep it going!
Just one thing as an Italian: the antipasto is literally "the thing before (anti) the meal (pasto)", in fact it's something small you eat before the first dish, which usually happens to be pasta, but pasto and pasta have different etymologies
Yes he tried to apply the Greek meaning of 'anti' but it doesn't quite fit in this Italian example!
🇬🇷🇮🇷❤❤❤long live persian and greek
salman ali yeah both are same generation 😜😄
❤❤
Much love from Greece fellow Persians
salman ali loved the persian language.
Keeping up with the lambily thnk u all
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!
Such a Different Clip.Really enjoyed it!
It was one of the best episodes and I enjoyed it 😍👏good job👍
The guy is so passionate about the Greek language that I really want to learn it. It is a fantastic video.
The guy is ignorant af
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 :)
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!
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 really appreciate the Greek man. He's knowledgeable and sophisticated. My respect to him. Greetings from the Netherlands.
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 🙏
This is super interesting! I'm Persian and I didn't know there is so many similarities between the two languages! Nice video :)
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.
Love and respect Persia from Greece my old friends.
*old colony and even older rivals
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 :)
I'm armenian and understood most of the words 🙂 greek and persian have unique pronunciations 😍
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

Sorry for the late reply but he also mentioned "bacanak" (brother in law) at the end of the vid while talking about Greek dialects
Greece was under ottoman control for a long time the Greek language was influenced by ottoman Turkish which itself was influenced by Persian.
@@essaadeel3676 That's actually interesting
خوب داداش ترک من زبان شما از جنبه های زیاد وام گرفته زبان فارسی هه برا همین ای شباهت ها وجود داره ، ولی خب شماها هم تاریخ غنی و فرهنگی دارین 🇮🇷🌹🤙🙏
@@essaadeel3676 no? The exact opposite. Ok, some words have Turkish background but words like, ocean ωκεανός ( ocyanos) is definitely Greek.
OMG I should have found you earlier ....
Your videos are great

Wow that’s amazing 😍 I’ve always thought Persians and greeks have similar features
@@Cloudnine422 just war
Lovely, entertaining and informative chat revealing connections!
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.
greetings to the two greatest civilizations of ancient world from the kurds...Long live Iran long live Greece🇮🇷🇬🇷
The Kurds are also a proud people, and rightly so. Greetings from Australia to all who practise peace, love and respect. Language can divide but language also shows how connected we can be.
quite a cool video!
I enjoyed it . thanks for sharing .
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!!!!🙂🙂

Tony Montana explain that please....historically if possible....
The same to you love your country greetings from greece
Yes, just like the German people.🤣🤣🤣🤣
I live in Germany for 6 years and have depression feeling.
The two languages are much more close than I could imagine. That explains a lot of the great many exchanges (commercial, intellectual, political) that took place in antiquity. Considering too that most of the people of Anatolia spoke indo-iranian languages by that time.
The Greek gentleman was so charming! Love to Greece, from an Aristotelian Iranian (student of philosophy)! :)
And btw, chourmás (χουρμάς), keftés (κεφτές), flitzáni (φλιτζάνι), toursí (τουρσί), ... are all originally Persian words (ترشی - فنجان/پنگان - کوفته - خرما) also present in Turkish.
thats so true, ofcorse Turkish knows that but we Greeks thought that are turkish
@@skatiarhs007 The ultimate root could be Persian but if you borrowed it through the interaction with the Turks, it's considered a loanword from Turkish. We have a similar situation. Not all Greek words in Turkish came directly from Greeks. There are some we borrowed from Persians who earlierly borrowed from Greeks. Or we borrowed some words from English, which they borrowed from French. But we still consider it a "loanword from English".
come on now…i didn’t know that!
@@aysegulkara1752 I just know that turks borrowed the MOST WORDS from anyone. I say this because I could not believe how many foreign words were in your language! I believe it’s because your people invaded civilized city dwelling nations & didn’t have words for a lot of the stuff that they had. Same reason why you had no SEA words, since your people had never really seen a huge open body of water or lived by one. 👍
For me, it is the root that counts. So, I consider, keftes (a delicious recipe) as Iranian/Persian
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

Canadian Iranian makes no sense, they're both nationalities. Neither of them are ethnicities

So good to see these two young people maintaining decorum & decency with the older man! ✌️✌️
Respect shines in their behaviour bright!!
Those words are also Turkish. Much love from Istanbul to Greeks and Persians :)
Not all of them. We do not have the Most of the words in the video in Turkish.

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.
kimon's voice is a good candidate for an ASMR story narration or podcast
