The only way to Heaven is to be born again by saying out loud "Jesus is Lord" and believing in ur heart that God rose Him from the dead then you must live for Him, dont focus on not sinning bc thats self righteousness but instead focus on having more faith in Him and fear of the Lord and doing everything for Him hallelujah, i suggest getting baptized, repenting(asking for forgiveness of your sins and making a radical turn from ur sin), fasting (doesnt have to be from food), evangelizing(spreading the Gospel), praying, and reading the Bible. God and Jesus love all of you hmu with any questions have a good day God bless✝️❤️❤️ good works dont get u to Heaven God's grace does John 3:16 Colossians 2:6 - [ ] Romans 10:9

All these comments are the most dumb I've ever read. Latin and Greek are very far from each other. They are in different language branches. And no single language on earth is "based" on Greek

Me too when I hear Spanish tourists in London, I think they are speaking Greek but I can't make out the words.

I am italian, I confirm the similarity in terms of pronunciation with Spanish language.

The accent we have today's Greeks is not nice at all. Better to learn ancient Greek with the correct pronunciation of ancient Greek. The Greeks had a different accent, but now it has changed a lot compared to the one the ancient Greeks had. You can watch this video to hear what ancient Greek sounded like (a Greek is speaking in the video but with the correct accent we had) and it's much nicer than modern Greek kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLScrbRnudjWY4U.html&feature=shares

Greek is not similar in any point with Spanish you dumb.

As a Spanish speaker, I absolutely agree with this! So from now on, if something sounds like Spanish but I have no idea what is being said, it's safe to assume it's Greek 😅

yeah Greek is pretty unique :3

+this comment will self-destruct in 10, 9, 8 It's strange how people simply state as if it is some kind of given axiom. I personally find German far more beautiful than Greek, or any of the Latin languages. My favorite language is Irish Gaelic. Second would be Japanese.

snillocgrom German sounds like shit

I agree japanese is beautiful but I think latin and modern greek are far more beautiful. (Of couse my favourite language is latin)

snillocgrom what do you mean "as it is some kind of given axiom"? I have seen many comments on the Internet stating that they dont like the greek language and most people dont even know what it sounds like. Just becouse you prefer other languages it doesnt mean that eveyone else will agree with you. Everyone has his preferences.

If you start learn you will hate it.😂

Spanish sounds like Greek. Latin is based on greek n Spanish is based on Latin so yeah the correlation is clear

@Yoel Armas Macías But it's more complicated than that? They may be separate branches but Italy (Rome) once had Greece as a province, which means both languages influenced each other. By the time Spanish rolled around, it would make sense that Spanish obtained Greek elements from historical contact between ancient Greek and Latin.

@Miguel Alcala Gomez 😂

@@KleioHistory the thing is ancient Greece and ancient Greek culture had influenced the Latin alphabet and as a result, the Latin culture, waaaaay before the Romans conquered Greece. Be fair. History is right there for everyone to read.

It doesn't sound like Spanish at all, it sounds more like russian

Thank you very much for your kind words! Ευχαριστούμε πολύ για τα καλά σου λόγια! One small correction: "πολλή" αγάπη

I agree. While I don’t speak Romanian I speak French, Italian, Spanish, and some Portuguese. I find Greek has all the vowel sounds, the music and the rhythm of a Romance language but the words are very different. I also agree with the Spanish connection. When I hear 2 Greeks speaking from a distance it sounds like two Spanish speakers from Madrid. When I get closer and I realize I don’t understand a thing they’re saying.

I mean, Romanian is based on Latin, and Latin was influenced heavily by Greek, so yeah, there you go.

Actually italian were influence by koine greek which were spoken in a highly melodic manner. Today greek language seems melodic to foreigners but actually lost the melodic sound a lot, due to western influences and italian to us sound even more melodic than greek and in fact italian language is more melodic.

The accent is nothing like italian, it's more like spanish.

Im spanish and the way they stress the words its very spansih and also their sounds. they dont use the sound Z as in words like grazie, ragazzi etc... in spanish we also dont have that sound.

Chinese is older

@Deez Nuts Min Chinese, Hakka, and Cantonese Chinese are

@@uadhlagash7280 Written Attestation wise...Greek is actually older. Meaning, we have archaeological inscriptions that are older and can be read today that are older than something that can be read in Chinese.

​@@SpartanLeonidas1821 True, but it gets iffy when you go all the way back to Mycenae. While attestation wise, it's true that there's no archaeological evidence of written Chinese prior to the 2nd millennium BC, the pieces of evidence found were from the late Shang Dynasty (Late Bronze Age, so around the same time as Mycenae, actually), and archaeological evidence show the Shang was established around the same time as Myceanae, more than half a millennium prior to those oracle bones ...so presumably the written language was in use long before those specific pieces that survived to today were created. Linear B is also not continuous with later post-Phoenician written form of Greek, while Chinese scripts are largely continuous since the Shang era (there was no Chinese dark ages unlike the Greeks, nor did they adopt another script like the later Greeks did). But you are correct in terms of strict attestation of Linear B (not classical greek alphabet). I think in my comment, I meant that Chinese was older than Classical Greek. Not necessarily taking Mycenaean Greek into consideration.

@@uadhlagash7280 Well my friend, rest assured that Mycenaean Linear B findings are 100% Greek as well. The script is different but the Language is there, and can actually be read to prove that its Greek. The Greek Language is much older than that though, and future archaeological finds will take it back even further most likely. There are other finds such as the Dispilio Tablet that take things much further back, but it has never been deciphered. Not going to mention Linear A, even though it has not been deciphered, most Specialists do not believe it to be Greek...then again all the Specialists also thought that Linear B was not Greek until they cracked the code! 👍

Yes, similar pronunciation in some cases does that!

@@astrid2885 θήτα sounds like Spanish "z"

@@yoveka3646 Yes! And γάμμα (γ) like spanish g and δέλτα (δ) like spanish d in most cases.

hehe hello from Greece

Thanks you for all your beautiful words that you said for greece and greeks. Btw: cosmos in greek except for "people" it also means everything that is around us or for example the whole earth.

Yes, Cyrillic was created based off of Greek. (As Greek was created by Greeks based off Phoenician thousands of years ago). Greek is not spoken by many people around the world today, however, one could argue that it is still a very useful Language to learn, especially if you are in any Academic Sciences & Fields such as Medicine/Pharmacology, Mathematics/Physics, Astronomy etc.. It will also teach you a lot about your own Language that probably has thousands of Loanwords in it! 👍

Zay Bro Downloading it right now, it has great reviews too. Thanks man.. appreciate it :)

***** Hehehe, Norwegian??? Norwegian to me sounds like . . . Swedish! (But with Danish words) hehe What type of Spanish do you speak? Because if you learned Spain Spanish you will hear a lot of "Z" sounds just like the Greeks use the Th sounds. (In Latin American spanish no) Greek and Spanish are very different . . . I just was thinking the sounds (not words in particular) and the "rhythm" of the language sounded similar. Lots of a-e-i-o-u vowels, very rapidly spoken, with words ending in "s"

I think Greek sounds like Russian and Italian put together. I know linguistically the Slavs(mostly Russians) were influenced by the greek alphabet and accent long ago.

Italian trying to speak Spanish from Spain!

A mi me parece que no, en absoluto :(

That's exactly what I thought

Charles Klepac I agree, it can sound like European Spanish or Italian at times.

Ananda D'Aquino Hablo español.

that's right

It's as Slavic as Britain is Celtic

Personally, from my paternal side I am a Greek with origin from Macedonia, but I cannot entirely agree with you. Macedonia of course never ceased to be inhabited by us, but throughout centuries there have settled a lot of other nations, like Vlachs, Turks, Sephardic Jews, Albanians (near Florina), and most importantly - the Slavs, who before the population exchange in 1922 made up 30% of the population. They were bonded to their land just as much as we do, but our government, in favour of alleged "purity" decided to get rid of them, forcing them to hellenisation or expelling them out of their territories, as well as changing a planty of Slavic toponyms to make them sound Greek. Macedonia was untill the twentienth century a very heterogenous land. And there is nothing worse when someone wants to attribute a multiethnic region to exclusively one nation. No matter if we say about the land of Aleksander, Kosovo, Transylvania, Crimea or any other border land. So well, Macedonia is of course Greek, but it is also Slavic, Vlach, and of some other nations as well.

it is "πολύ" ....it is an adverb!! We say "πολύ ωραία=very good, Ευχαριστώ πολύ=thank you very much" etc.

thank you, once again!

I learned greek working at a pizza place. Greeks speak very quickly, and I find that the language itself is very flowing, but also has a lot of long words. My boss used to joke that even though I became fluent he could just speak a little faster if he didn't want me to understand what he was saying.

Actually they are talking in the usual pace. The "talking fast" of greeks is used a lot when they are angry or happy and sometimes we need to repeat to our friends what we' re saying to get it even though we' re all greeks. It's thing that produces a lot of humorous moments though, so we like the confusion that sometimes comes with it, as we are humor lovers.

I swear American English is among the slowest language in the world. If you observe carefully, you'll see that most languages in the world from French, UK English, Arabic, Farsi, Greek, Italian all the way to Chinese, Russian, Malay, Japanese and many others are spoken fast. American English is unique in that it makes sure that every word that has to be pronounced is pronounced clearly.

@@abram3283 Problem with English is that its not pronounced the way its spelled! 😅

​@@abram3283Native English speakers believe that. They speak slowly with non native speakers which it's what everyone does in any language. But when you watch a movie in English (unless it's historical for some reason) the language is totally gibberish to foreign ears, even if the listener has studied English and uses it enough frequently.
