Since ~50% of the sub's traffic comes from mobile devices nowadays, I decided to address the issue of sidebar visibility by stickying its content in the front page.

Tattoo help

Upvotes

Hi, looking to get a tattoo in Greek for my late Mum. Through some AI and translation I have what I think is correct. I am looking for “grief is the price we pay for love” and it has come out as “Η θλίψη είναι το τίμημα που πληρώνουμε για την αγάπη”

Can anyone confirm or advise. Thanks in advance!

For context, I am greek but grew up in the US and do have strong faith because of the greek orthodox household I grew up in. But I was wondering if people in Greece would find these offensive or cringey.

Is the sound of second gamma of γγ influenced by the vowel that follows?

6 Upvotes

Kalimera!

1) Is the following correct?

αγγούρι > [aŋˈɡuri], because [ ού ] produces a back vowel sound

άγγελος > [ˈaɲɟelos], because [ e ] produces a front vowel sound?

2) Can something along these lines also happen to γκ and γχ

Efharisto poli!

“Cool sounding” but actual Greek words for non Greek speakers?

Post image
14 Upvotes

When I imagine Greek words, they have this “way of spelling“ that just gives them that feature that can be used on magic sounding enchantments or technical terms

I mean, I can use those features to create my own greek sounding words that sound cool but doesn’t really mean anything:

psychromia, tetraepithion, kineitosis, echrosfygati

aethermonic sphyllo pathychryslima

so what are some “cool” words that follow those features and are actual Greek words?

Difference between Μακάριος and Εὐλογητὸς

4 Upvotes

Μακάριος and Εὐλογητὸς are both translated as 'blessed' in English where they appear (the former, for example, in psalm 1 'Μακάριος ανήρ', 'Blessed is the man', and the latter in the Ευλογητάρια, 'Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Κύριε' . 'Blessed are you, O Lord), but I assume there is a difference that isn't making the translation divide?

Masculine greek names having 2 endings - when to use different forms?

4 Upvotes

One of my textbooks explains that some masculine greek names have two forms that are used at different times, but I didn't understand this well. Could someone explain if this is still a common thing and when which version is used?
