.

That's one thing...

But in general, just tricky!

... ...


I am ..."warming" ... some "Cypriot Ravioles" ... (which "means" ... filled with "halloumi" and some "mint"...) ... !!! ... ... ...


Κ Ο Π Ι Α Σ Τ Ε ... !!! ... ... ... !!! ... ... ... !!! ...


... ...


.

Ok Azimut, this is totaly "off topic", even though it's no topic in here.... LOL..

How is "Agia" pronounced? Always thought it was Aya, but then a Greek told me that noo.. it's aGia (you could hear the g...).. So what's right?

The first only Azimut can answer....

paidia means "children"... but also used for "guys" (people)... Don't know if it makes sense...

the letter " Γ " (or, little " γ ") ... when "followed" by a "vowel" ... it "makes" the sound of ... "yell" ... or "yellow" ... "yield" ... ... ... YES ?!? ...


So, ... "Αγία" ... ... ... (I do "believe" you "mean" the "word" for "female Saint" ...) ... it is "pronounced" ... "AYI-A" ... ... ...


Do you "see" ... ?!? ... (or, rather are you "able" to "hear" it ?!? ...) ...


... ...


.

Should I read "ia" at the end of a word as "I" or that's incorrect???

"KOPIASTE !!!" ... (literally "means" ... [you plural] "make an effort" ... !!! ... ... )


HOWEVER, ... it is THE "word" for ... when you are to "eat" to "say" ... "COME JOIN" ... !!! ... !!! ... !!!



You "see" in "Greek" ... the "word" for ... "companion" ... is ... "σύντροφος" (sintrofos) ... ... ...


literally, ... "SYN" which "means" "PLUS" ... as in " + " ... and, ... "TROFI" which "means" "FOOD" ... ... ... !!! ... ... ...


SO, ... two "things" subsequently" arise ... ... ...


1. ... that a "companion" is actually ... "the 'being' that you 'share' your 'food' with" ... ... ... !!! ... ... ...


2. ... that a "companion" is actually ... "the 'additional' ... 'thing' ... 'IMPORTANT' as 'food' ... " ... ... ... !!! ... ... ...



To "share" in my "Culture" is indeed quite "important" ... and to "share food" ... is simply ... "sacred" ... !!! ... ... ...


So, please do ... Κ Ο Π Ι Α Σ Τ Ε !!! ... ... ...

There's no doubt that Azim is a teacher!!

καταλασαινω . . . means understand, how can I say I don't understand? Is there a "unique" way to write the negative form of the verb???

Azim mou, you must have a lot of friends... am I right omorfi mou

YES !!! ... indeed !!! ... "excellent question" ... !!! ...


and the "answer" is ... "YES, there is a very 'distinctive', 'little' 'word' that VERY commonly simply ... 'invalidates' ... 'verbs' ... ... ... and that 'word' is ... ... ... "


... omorfi mou ?!? ... "care" to "enlighten" us ?!? ...
