Been really bad lately with keeping up with the lingo learning (especially when we're getting beautiful weather like these weekends!). Anyway, here are some connective words that will help pack your sentances a bit more flowingly.
and | και | kay |
or | ή | ee |
but | αλλά | alla |
if | αν | an |
because | επειδή | epeethee |
before | προτού / πριν | protoo / breen |
after | μετά | meta |
while | ενώ | enoh |
until | μέχρι | mechree |
with | με | meh |
so | έτσι | ehtsee |
This is nothing but a memory exercise (no logic to apply like the last posts on verbs and conjugations). To make it easier here's a sentance to exemplify:
I have coffee with a biscuit after my meal or dessert but not before I pay the bill
Έχω καφέ με ένα μπισκότο μετά το γεύμα ή το γλυκό μου, αλλά όχι πριν να πληρώσω τον λογαριασμό
I'm not quite sure why there are multiple words for before (προτού / πριν) and when to use which. Off to the Lake District in the next couple of days so another possible prolongued abscence. Anyway, anyone know any good mobile apps for greek learning (that are free, obviously).
