Thank you for sharing your expertise. You are the greatest Teacher that I ever had. I learned a lot from you than in my school. More power and keep up the work.
Hello Lina, I would like to thank you very much for your excellent work. You can see how much work and care you put into it. I am German and have started to learn Greek. But I benefit a lot from your work! I can also improve my English a little. Thank you once again and all the best, God's blessing! Bernd
I'll be visiting my brothers & sister in Athens soon so I'm brushing up on my Greek, studying 3-4 times per week - great lesson, ευχαριστώ πολύ, Λινα 🇬🇷🇬🇷 I subbed
Congratulations for your excellent teaching approach. I've recently discovered your videos and find them great and effective. You are really clear and respectful of beginners.
Hi! 5:30 "καιρός" means "time". Instead of the word "καιρό" you could also use "χρόνο".(έχουμε χρόνο) It would mean the same thing. 13:38 it means "weather". You can't use "χρόνο" or any other word here. Hope this helped!
Hello friends! I know you loved the "είμαι" video, so I've made this one. The ending of "έχω" are regular, so pay special attention to them, you'll meet them again. After learning the accusative case, and with simple vocabulary you will be able to form simple sentences by yourself. Tip: neuter nouns have the same form in the nominative and the accusative case (both in singular and plural). So if you use only neuter nouns, you can form these sentences even right now. Enjoy!😀🌺❤
Hello lina , your way of teaching is best. I like too much and understand. But you need to make more videos on greek. Also more vocabs with pictures plz
σας Ευχαριστω πολυ Λινα Για το μαθημα σας Μελενε Ομαρ Ειμαι νεος μαθητης μαζι σας Ειμαι απο το Αφγανισταν αλλα Τωρα μενο στη θεσσαλονικη Θα ηθελα να μαθω ελληνηκι γλωσσα.
Hello! Thank you so much! I know Greek is not an easy language but I hope these lessons will motivate more people to start learning! It's definitely worth it! :)
Great lesson, full of usefull expressions and vocabulary, but it goes a bit fast, and the viewer doesn't really habe time to "absorb" the different terms. It requires a lot of use of the "pause" button to note things down. But hey, really informative and vocab-rich ! Thankyou Lina .
Hi Lina, could you please make a video with the theme "what did you do today, yesterday etc". For example: Did you go to the beach? Did you visit the castle? Have you seen John today? We went to ........yesterday. we had a nice meal at....... Restaurant. We came here 5 years ago. Thanks, I really enjoy your videos.
Hi! Yes, there will definitely be videos about the past tenses (αόριστος & παρακείμενος). I try to follow my viewers needs, so I must upload more advanced videos once in a while. I'm sure each student will find their own pace and watch the videos in the order they find most appropriate. 😊
Yes, in a way. The ending of the verb is unique for every person as you can see, so there is no way to get confused. It is not a mistake to use a personal pronoun of course. But it could probably change the meaning slighlty. Eg. Two friends talking. Friend 1: "Θέλω παγωτό" (I want icecream). Friend 2: Εγώ θέλω σοκολάτα". (I want a chocolate). Friend 2 uses "εγώ" to emphasize that they want something different.
Sorry i wrote the first comment when i watched the beginning of the video. İt is super that you have repeated the words in the rest of the video reading them slowly so ww can understand better.
@@Thalasius your Greek is exactly the same. This is the standard Greek taught in both of our schools. What you have different is an idiom, like most regions of mainland Greece have too, but a youtube channel apart from the specific extra words can't teach important things as pronunciation or verb suffixes variables of idioms. They make no sense if you are am who doesn't know the correct standard Greek.
hiii lina your lessones help me alot! i would like to ask you ,how can i know which voule i have to you in a specific words as ther are more than 1 voul pronaunsed as e and so on .thank you for your help
Thank you for watching! Unfortunately most of the time you have to memorise rhe correct vowel! There are some rules of course, but mostly for the endings. I suggest that you start reading anything you can find to get used to certain spelling.
Συγχαρητήρια Λίνα για τα υπέροχα μαθήματα ελληνικών που προσφέρεις. Μία μικρή παρατήρηση. Νομίζω ότι μπερδεύεις τους μαθητές όταν χρησιμοποιείς το ουδέτερο άρθρο σε αρσενικά ονόματα (το Σεπτέμβριο). Ο προφορικός λόγος διαφέρει από τον γραπτό, διότι το μάτι στέλνει λάθος σήματα στον εγκέφαλο. Γνωρίζω βεβαίως τους κανόνες της Ν.Ελληνικής - ασχέτως αν διαφωνώ - αλλά οι μη γνωρίζοντες ελληνικά, θα νομίζουν ότι ο Σεπτέμβριος είναι ουδέτερο ουσιαστικό, έτσι τουλάχιστον θα το καταλάβαινα εγώ. Αγνόησέ με αν κάνω λάθος, ευχαριστώ.
Hi Lina, thanks for the video and i have a question: Why use the 2nd plural likel Έχετε, Κανετε to speak to a single person instead of Έχεις, Κανεις ? This express formality or respect? Many of exemples that i see use this so i get a little confuse how to properly use Έχετε, Κανετε and Έχεις, Κανεις.
Hi! Sorry for not answering right away! There are so many comments and I am so happy for that! Fortuna is right! We use "πληθυντικός" (plural) to be polite to someone we don't know, or older people. I will make a special video about that, but for now keep in mind that you when talking to someone "στον πληθυντικό" you only change the verb and the pronoun, not the nouns or anything else. Eg: "Είστε πολύ καλή". (You are very nice). We talk to a woman (καλή-feminine adj.) and we use the plural (είστε). But the adjective "καλή" is in the singular. We don't forget that we talk to one person. Hope this helped! 😊
Yes, exactly. It's the same rule that applies in French, for example, with "tu" and "vous." Use εσύ-forms with close family, friends, children under about the age of 15, and in prayer. For strangers over the age of about 15 (especially members of the opposite sex) or in business or other formal settings, use εσείς-forms even if you're only talking to one person.
Το βιβλίο είναι ουδέτερο, έτσι το άρθρο είναι: "το". Επίσης και το "ένα" είναι ουδέτερο, άρα το σωστό είναι: "έχω ένα βιβλίο". Μπορείς επίσης να πείς: "έχω το βιβλίο σου" The book is neutral, so the article is: "το". Also "ένα" is neutral, so the correct one is: "έχω ένα βιβλίο/I have a (one) book". You can also say: "έχω το βιβλίο σου/I have your book" (Η/η is feminine article)
its quite tough to get a hook on that in actual practice since in english they are 2 words - its more so, in the case where the subject is mentioned like.. "μαρια εχεις βιβλιο" in the case where its not mentioned i seem to get it somewhat easier like .."εχουμε βιβλια"
Yes, when we want to use a noun as a subject (names etc) we use it normally. "Η Μαρία έχει ένα βιβλίο", or " Έχει ένα βιβλίο", or "Αυτή έχει ένα βιβλίο". It's not a mistake to use the personal pronoun, anyone would understand you.
It's simpler than that. "Maria has a book". = "Η Μαρία έχει ένα βιβλίο." "She has a book" = "(Αυτή) έχει ένα βιβλίο". You can use "αυτή" (=she) or not.
Hello and thank you for watching! It's normal to find different syntax and expressions in different languages. In my opinion, the Greek syntax is much closer to the French one for example. I know we have some French native speakers among us, so I would appreciate their views on this. :)
@@linaaaap1 Belated greetings from Quebec. It is true that in French, >, literally, 'What do you have to your hand?', i.e., 'What happened to / What is wrong with your hand?' I am keenly curious to know whether the uses and distribution of the Greek 'have' are similar to, or in contrast with French and other languages. Perhaps you have addressed this more fully in lessons I have yet to try. Grateful regards, 'Hindisikhnewaalaa'

In portuguese the word "tempo" means both time and weather. Depending on the context you will know what is the meaning in that sentence.

glad you are back Lina! - nice vid - so do you think 2 words [so to speak] when you say.. 'εχω', or εχουν ? ..since it indicates both 'we' & 'have'.
