    For the Greeks, the word "Malakas" is not just an insult. It is a phraseology and dictionary on its own.

    we were playing soccer in the US, and someone did a mistake,
    a greek guy called him "Malaka!!!"
    So the american guy asked "what does Malaka mean??"
    the greek guy responded, "Malakas is someone in front of an open goal who cannot score"
    so there you have your meaning lol

    Malakia should be considered as being whatever is coming out of/from/produced/said by the Malakas (or the asshole).

      @@hermespsychopompos8267 Relax. Its a natural process. Being a transatlantic or a transpacific immigrant is not the same as being an intra-european immigrant. The former type is anything between a 10 to 20-hour flight away from the motherland, the latter is a 2-3 hour hop to Greece. That huge geographical distance applying to the trans-Atlantic/Pacific immigrants is responsible for the fact it can take 5-10 years or more for these unfortunate souls before they visit Greece which, for an immigrant in Germany or Belgium is never the case. The American/Canadian/Australian Greek immigrants with the passage of the generations gradually become amalgamated, absorbed in the culture of their host countries. The Greeks in Germany or Belgium, for example, do not. Its the proximity to the old country. Its not rocket science. As a side point, a Greek immigrant to Argentina, will feel much closer to home, in all respects, than a Greek immigrant in Germany, inspite of the huge geographical distance.

      One who is afraid of the bad that will lead to the good. One who cannot tolerate effort or the pains required to get something good. It literally means soft.
      If you have admitted defeat and stopped studying for your exams or practicing your sport, your friend will say: Don't be a malakas, you can make it.
      If you believe you will not enjoy a vacation because it will be too much effort, your friend will again say: Don't be a malakas. It will be fun.
      If you are afraid of rejection and don't want to talk to a girl you like, your friend will say: Don't be a malakas, talk to her.
      The last example was so common it probably led to the second meaning.

    I am Greek and I have Colombian friends who are from Bogota and they use a word “marica” with each other (almost sounds the same as malaka). Marika is an insult and actually a derogatory term for gay people so it should not be used. However it is used with friends amongst themselves in the exact same context as malaka. This has been the closest word I have found to malaka because it’s a word which is extremely offensive if used directly to strangers but has turned into a word of endearment amongst friends

    I think that the gentleman speaking about the word used in church was referring το "Μαλακία." In Strong's Concordance we find this definition:
    malakia: softness, weakness
    Original Word: μαλακία, ας, ἡ
    Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
    Transliteration: malakia
    Phonetic Spelling: (mal-ak-ee'-ah)
    Definition: softness, weakness
    Usage: weakness, illness, sickness.
    HELPS Word-studies
    3119 malakía (from 3120 /malakós, "soft") - a disease or condition that weakens ("softens") the victim. 3119 (malakía) is an ailment that disables - "a debilitating infirmity" causing the body to lose muscle fiber, etc.

    If you’re angry: “Oh malaka!”
    If you’re offended: “Stop being a malakas.” (Very important, when malakas is used in such a way you’re one step before physical confrontation)
    In every Greek road: “How do you go like that you malaka!” (We have god awful drivers)

      Also gonna say this, we typically refer from using that word with total strangers, as it’s more of a familiarity thing, unless we specifically aim to confront or insult someone who pissed us off. And by proxy we typically will not use that word in a work environment in front of people, but when it’s just the employees it’s a fair game. It’s treated as both an indecent/confrontational word and a word that shows familiarity/respect at the same type depending on the person. Older Greeks will most likely find it somewhat insulting while me and other young Greeks use it literally everywhere besides work and family (also a respect thing, you typically don’t use malaka for your parents ((siblings are an exception)) here both for respect and a massive ass beating if you do, but that also varies. Look it’s complicated lmao idk how to perfectly explain it just live and get raised in Greece and poof you know everything subconsciously kekw).

    Alexander the Great also used the word to describe peoples that he battled against, especially Easterners who had become accustomed to more Luxurious Lives and had thus become "Softies" or "Weaklings".

      In modern Greek we have Both:
      Mala'ka & Malako'
      First means "Jerk off or Wanker", probably because after doing that you are soft...or in general because someone that gives into too much of that would be considered a slave to their lust, something the Greeks would also consider as someone who is a Softie (always in a negative context).
      Second one simply means Soft, A Soft Pillow for example. There is also a Cheese in Crete that is called Malako if Im not mistaken...its a characteristically very soft Cheese.
      Malakia comes ultimatelt from the Greek word Malthako.
      In Pericles funeral Oration, he says:
      Filosofoumen aneu Malakias
      Basically saying that the Athenians are Philosophers and well Rounded in all the Arts, while still maintaining themselves above any sort of Softness/Slackness.

      @АртемисФёдоровна 3 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Ancient greek is different in terms of pronunciation only if you're using the erasmic/erasmian pronunciation which was designed by Western scholars for efficiency for them as. Although it carries certain elements that were indeed pronounced slightly differently, like η (ita) was pronounced more like a double e (as in epsilon) rather than -i (like I in India) so for example the name Eleni was actually pronounced as Elene-e. This is true as modern greek has many -i like ι η, υ, οι, so chances are some of them depending on the word were either used like this due to conjunction or pronounced slightly differently. Greek has διαλυτικά, the little double dots uses on double vowel letters to help when for example oi will be pronounced as oy instead of i as in India again. However, please understand that erasmian accent is by no way accurate. As modern anthropologists and linguists have said, if you want to find out how certain ancient words were pronounced you ought to go to some isolated villages to find out, also as ancient greeks had many dialects, the pronunciation varies from place to place from antiquity until today. For example, Goddess Artemis in Attic Greek was pronounced like Artemis but in Dorian Greek it was pronounced as Ar-ta-mis with the last syllable highlighted contrary to the first one.

    Ya malákes psáhnis? For malakes are you looking for? (Do you think I'm so dumb?)
    Kíta énan maláka! Look at a malakas! (Check out this loser!)
    Póso malákas íse? How much malakas are you? (Just how stupid are you?)
    To polí to tíki táka, káni to peðí maláka, too much back and forth motion turns the kid into a malakas ( you're such a jerk off)
    Maláka, su léo... Malakas, I'm telling you... (man, I'm telling you...)
    That's real Greek culture right there!!!😂😂😂

    Το αντίστοιχο των Γερμανών είναι το alter (γέρος). Το λένε οι νέοι μεταξύ τους αλλά μπορεί να φας και μήνυση για εξαίρεση αν τι χρησιμοποιήσεις σε διαπληκτισμό.

    Χαχαχαχχα τίποτα απλά να υπάρχει! Θεα . Απόλυτο δίκιο.
    Αυτή είναι η πραγματική έννοια της λέξης και ο πραγματικός λόγος ύπαρξης αυτής της λέξης. Απλά να υπάρχεις.

    or... how to get beaten up in Greece.😂 Fascinating word though, with vast historical pedigree though, even St paul used it. Really captured this both past and present. How you keep coming up with this stuff.

    Νομίζω προσωπικά ότι η λέξη, και πως να το χρησιμοποιήσεις, δεν είναι τόσο δύσκολο, οι περισσότερες γλώσσες έχει μια λέξη σαν αυτήν. Η δυσκολία είναι να βρεις το θάρρος να τη χρησιμοποιήσεις, και με ποιον. Για παράδειγμα είμαι μισός Έλληνας και μεγάλωσα στη Σουηδία, μιλάω ελληνικά μόνο με τους παππούδες μου και έτσι δε χρησιμοποιώ την λέξη καθόλου

    Hi everyone, I'm Italian. Watching the people in the video, who answer the questions, I understand how Italians and Greeks are children of the same mother.
    We have the same features. The same light in the eyes. If those people came to Italy they would easily be mistaken for Italians. We are children of the same sea.❤

    Στην Ζάκυνθο χρησιμοποιείται ευρύτατα και η λέξη μιναδόρος, η οποία έχει πάνω κάτω την ίδια ισχύ με την αναφερθέντα λέξη.

      @@EasyGreekVideos Βασικά βγαίνει από την βενετική minador και στα ιταλικά υπάρχει και το minatore, λεξεις που σημαίνουν τον μεταλλωρυχο. Μου φαίνεται στην αρχή η λέξη μιναδορος είχε την σημασία του λαγουμιστή, αυτού που βάζει εκρηκτικά στις εκσκαφές. Πλέον, λειτουργεί ακριβώς όπως το μαλάκας. Ελπίζω να σε κάλυψα, χαχα.
