Today I concentrated on the days of the week (maybe because there is only a Friday left of the working week?). You'll be pleased to know there are only 7 words - one for each day - to learn here, not like all of the other aspects of the Greek language I've showcased lately which seem to change depending on context (still getting to grips with the five words for a brother!). So here is Monday through to Sunday:
| Monday |
Δευτέρα |
thefterah |
| Tuesday |
Τρίτη |
Tritee |
| Wednesday |
Τετάρτη |
Tetartee |
| Thursday |
Πέμπτη |
Pemptee |
| Friday |
Παρασκευή |
Paraskevee |
| Saturday |
Σάββατο |
Savato |
| Sunday |
Κυριακή |
Keeriakee |
Again, we come across a combination that messes things up a bit. Look at Monday and Friday and note the use of ευ and then at how its pronounced as "ef". Whilst not a rule, the majority of times that ευ are put together we get this unique sound. Overall these seven ickle words will take an hour or so to get it to stick in your mind permanently. If you want to put these words into sentances you'll more than likely need to use the "on" preposition which in Greek will be την or teen. Lets see what that looks like in a sentance:
εγω θα σε δω την δευτέρα
Egho tha seh teen thefterah
Ι will you see on Monday
Might look at Months next I reckon and thereafter start putting some proper sentances together, unless I get recommendations for anything else to cover.
Καλησπέρα!
