    Default o tonos / accentuation

    hey, i wanna ask a question about accentuation in Greek letters. I can't understand this subject, and I cant put the accent sign to the true letter. how can I use the signs, and is it a problem if I dont use the signs?

    What exactly is your problem? Do you have trouble assigning the right key for the punctuation or you just can't tell which letter should be punctuated?

    For a Greek person, no it's not a problem. We will instantly tell where the tone (stress) should go. In fact, many Greeks avoid using punctuation, especially on the internet, in order to save typing time...

    ...or their keyboard is broken and they can't. Just a possibility.
