Helena Paparizou - Interview In Swedish + ESC 2005 Rehearsal

[halhexha]

kapoios xerei kapou na agoraso tetoio t-shirt pou foraei? anyone know where i can by a top like the one shes wearing?

[spasiklon007]

I am greek and love scandenavian language, i can speak norwegian! HILSEN FRA GREKENLAND!

[arisgreece26]

@spasiklon007 na sou po, paizei na einai diskoli glossa? ksero apsoga germanika, alla me fovizoun ligo ta norvigika, piga ekei kai tha elega oti katalavaina arketa ston grapto logo, lla kai pali..

[spasiklon007]

@arisgreece26 Κοίτα...δεν θα τη χαρακτήριζα ως δύσκολή γλώσσα...εγώ που δεν ξέρω καθόλου Γερμανικά, τα πήγαινα μια χαρά και σε 2 μήνες, μίλαγα σαν τα 7χρονα Νορβηγάκια. Έχει πολλά Αγγλικά στοιχεία, όπως το inversion, (που το χρησιμοποιούν στις 8/10 προτάσεις) και...μην τρελαθείς, αλλά πολλές Ελληνικές λέξεις. Βιβλιοθήκη-Bibliotek, Αγκούρι-Agurk, Αποθήκη-Apotek. Είναι ωραία γλώσσα. Αν την ξεκινήσεις, καλή επιτυχία σου εύχομαι!

[arisgreece26]

@spasiklon007 θέλω πολύ, λόγω επαγγελματικών στόχων, είτε ως διπλωμάτης είτε ως στέλεχος κάποιας νορβηγικής επιχείρησης, γιατί πραγματικά θαυμάζω ατήν την χώρα και λάτρεψα τα τοπία της. Δύσκολα το λέω αυτό για μία χώρα, αλλά είναι σχεδόν τόσο όμορφη όσο η Ελλάδα και δεν έχει καμμία σχέση με την στριφνή και αυστηρή νοοτροπία των Γερμανών.

[arisgreece26]

@spasiklon007 Δηλαδή για το τελικό πτυχίο πόσα χρόνια θέλει κάποιος; Να σια καλά που απαντάς!

[spasiklon007]

@arisgreece26 Αν είσαι ικανός να ζήσεις με τρείς ώρες ήλιο την ημέρα, τότε πήγαινε. Οι μισθοί είναι πολύ μεγάλοι απ'ότι έχω ακούσει. Όσο για το πτυχίο, εγώ χρειάστηκα περίπου ένα χρόνο για το lower, δεν πήρα το proficiency, γιατί ήθελα να κάνω Γαλλικά...λόγω Καναδά. Εκεί θα μείνω εγώ. Έχει και ένα άλλο φοβερό η Νορβηγική. Αν μάθεις αυτή, μιλάς αυτόματα Σουηδικά και Δανέζικα. Είναι σχεδον ίδιες, μόνο που αλλάζει η ορθογραφία και οι λέξεις, γραμματικά και συντακτικά είναι ίδιες.

[arisgreece26]

@spasiklon007 Ζω στην Γερμανία και τον χειμώνα νυχτώνει από τις 3 το μεσημερι. Δυστυχώς πάντ υπάρχουντ α κόστη ευκαιρείας! Θα δούμε... Και σε μένα τώρα προέχουν τα γαλλικά! Διπλωματικά όνειρα βλέπεις! :)

[spasiklon007]

@arisgreece26 Φίλε...και εκεί πάνω τέτοια ώρα και νωρίτερα μη σου πώ, νυχτώνει. Το καλοκαίρι να φανταστείς, στις περιοχές που αρχίζουν τα nordland, είναι όλη τη μέρα έξω ο ήλιος...χειρότερα θα είναι εκεί το μερόνυχτο. Για να φανταστείς, έχουν λάμπες χαμηλής πυρακτώσεως, γιατί δεν μπορούν το πολύ φώς. Από άποψη οικονομική, είναι πολύ καλά, κολυμπάνε στο πετρέλαιο, υψηλοί μισθοί αλλά με υψηλό κόστος ζωής. Καλή τύχη...δεν έχω κάτι άλλο να σου πώ.

[SlimShadyKnowles]

So FIn :D <3

[aatox]

A Swede with Greek background interviewed by another Swede with Bosnian Serbian background. Different cultures sharing the Swedish language, society and values. I think that's something very nice and important that should be more focused and built upon!

[ilovepaparizou]

Αγαπάμε Ελενάρα ♥ Vi älskar Elena

[YukiKuran9]

Ελληνιδα γεννημενη στην σουηδια και φυσικα και μιλαει τελεια και ελληνικα και σουηδικα διοτι εχει τελειωσει και τα 2 σχολεια εκει!! πρωι σουηδικο απογευμα ελληνικο... απλα απιστευτη... Ελενα μαζι σου.. :)

[HelenaRivas]

@YukiKuran9 One question, when you write in greec you write with a diferent calligraphy or writing (the alphabet is completelly different. And when you study english, you have to study another alphabet or another way to write. I's that certain???

[YukiKuran9]

@HelenaRivas hello hmm I didn't quite understood what was your question.. :D Different alphabet and characters in english and in greek.. if someone already knows greek then he has to study the different characters and letters of course... :)

[HelenaRivas]

@YukiKuran9 thanks, yes you understood mi question very well. In english you write a, b, f, g, y, j, i, o, ,p and in greec yo write like this Δ δ Σ σ Φ φ and more caracters. No???

[YukiKuran9]

@HelenaRivas yes indeed!! ;) You got the point!! ;)



[HelenaRivas]

@YukiKuran9 yeah !! thanks !!!

[EllenDavidsen]

She speaks perfect swedish! I can´t hear an accent at all(I´m Norwegian)

[alcagr]

@EllenDavidsen that's because she was born and raised in Gothenburg :)

[stardomee]

@EllenDavidsen she speaks perfect greek too, I can't pick an accent when she speaks/sings in greek either! (i'm greek)

[gevorgz1]

I leke her veryyyyyyyyyyyyy much!

[Scourmy]

I'm French who have been to Greece, and I met lots of nice swedish from Greek descent, and I can speak Greek more than Swedish, they helped me very much. But true, swedish greek are less dual than some Greeks from over the world.

It's like asking Ibrahimovic if he's more Swedish or more Bosniac

[ChristosHLN]

ΕΛΛΑΔΑ-ΣΟΥΗΔΙΑ :DDDD

SVERIGE-GREKLAND :DDDD

[YukiKuran9]

@ChristosHLN pragmatika uperoxo!! :)

[sapiomulo]

γιατί το κάνουν όλοι τόσο δύσκολο;... είναι ελληνίδα γεννημένη στην Σουηδία..τίποτα άλλο..

[MimitaaMe]

and the reporter is a Serb hehehhh :DD

[SwedishDanceMusic]

I am both Spanish and French, and I do not prefer a country. I have a french mom and spanish dad, and I was raised in the middle of the border, in a basque school :D Helena was raised in Sweden and born there, but she was in a Greek school and had only Greek blood. Well, she's both, and lucky! :D kram och puss elena, du är svensk och grekisk!

[loyal77blue]

Kapoios dwse tis kopelas ligo neraki, exei loksiga.

[Gegerys]

[afghanmusiic]

Hahah, both of them is swedish imogrants, nobody is swedish, sweden is rich with their imigrants.

[Hottekila]

Hahah jag visste ej att hon var greekisk turist abmassadour)))

[apolloton1]

@Hottekila Obviously your comment is ironic,,,,Why don't you translate for us??

[Hottekila]

@apolloton1 i wrote that i didn't know that she was a Greek ambassadour in Stockholm.

[AIROUSSS]

[SirLachance]

I always new she could speak Swedish but never heard her speak it...

[salamalainen]

Hur pratar hon svenska? Och så bra?

[ifyoualways]

Hon är född i Göteborg och uppvuxen i Borås. Hennes föräldrar kommer från Grekland... ;)

[OBEYCOREpremiere]

in greece most of its people (i know) it's mixed with other countries either for ancestry and heritage. HIGH Presence of greek-americans,british,and swedish people.

i'am greek american and i love my babies netherlands and sweden

[tomtegirl]

@salamalainen hon är född och uppvuxen i sverige. och ja jag blev också shockad trodde hon skulle bryta lite med tanke på att hennes päron endå måste pratat grekiska hemma. ;)

[Hellas145]

En riktig Sexy Grek:);)

[raindropsneverfall]

i'm danish but i think swedish is sexy heh

[cheriesc]

By the way, do you understand what she says?

[raindropsneverfall]

lol not really but if she had spoken more slowly, i might have

[solksolksolk]

She answers the journalists questions about how she qualified in the Greek competition, how she promotes her song and so on and so fourth.

[anahelenada]

great!!! awsome!!!

[elenafab5]

dang people chillax! I was born in USA but I have Mexican and Greek blood. does that mean I shouldn't consider myself an American or feel proud of it? Go read a book ignorant morons!

[Mesow2]

Yeah, many people have dual nationalities isn't the same as a person who has one particular root and nationality but lived and was rasied in another country she is 100% Greek but she lived in Sweden that doesn't change her blood nor her DNA. I lived in Palestine but I'm 100% Greek.

[Prudence1]

Helena has said herself that she has two home countrys and loves both the same, and she is very proud to have that. So stop fighting. She is a Greek-Swede.

[xristinaki1985]

stop arguing for crap helena loves both countries..she us greek and swed ok?

[JimmyTheGreek2000]

You are right, there are millions of people with dual nationality, and we do not prefer one country over the other, we like both!

[eur0dance]

AMEN! Please quit the crappy argument!

[SofiaAlskarOlaSalo]

her paRents are greek but she is born and raised in sweden though... and she can both speak the swedish and the greek language correctly, without having an accent from any of them. i think she's also very good in english

[mieroth]

Exactly. And I can see you do too. Good for you! :)

[SonSter89]

The only thing I want to know is does she speak Swedish with a Greek accent?

[erinra]

She has no accent at all. She sounds like anyone who has been born and raised in Sweden, and embraced the Swedish culture.

[mieroth]

Lol. "Embraced the Swedish culture." Nice having a go at all the ethno-centric Greeks on here. :D Well, Elena was born and raised in Sweden so OF COURSE she speaks perfect Swedish!!! She's not an immigrant to Sweden. She speaks Swedish at daily and is fluent in the language. :)

[mieroth]

Elena. <3 Jovan. <3

[WatchOutDuck]

Helena is Greek.

[mieroth]

And Swedish. o.o

[WatchOutDuck]

No,she's Greek. Her name and family is Greek. She just happened to be born in Sweden.. I was born in the UK but im Greek,this doesnt make me English does it???? No.

[mieroth]

No. She is Swedish. I don't care what her name is. I have a non stereotypical Swedish name too. And yes, you ARE English. The sooner you get out of denial the better. I suggest you move to Greece. Then you'll see how Greek you really are (meaning, not very). Even Sarbel who represented Greece calls himself English (and Greek). o.0 It's amazing how ethno-centric and racist people can be...

[ryanwexford]

you are english if u were born in england mate

[WatchOutDuck]

IM NOT ENGISH!! im GREEK!

[mieroth]

We're not saying you're not Greek. We're saying that you're English. If you're such an ethno-centric racialist I think it's time for you to move "home" to Greece where you belong. I give you a couple of months before you move back. :)

[mieroth]

It'll be a healthy experience for you and it'll make you realise how English you actually are. And then we can be spared for your bullshiting on youtube. So promise you'll get right on that, ok? :)

[mieroth]

*of

[melmothd]

it's arrogant subhuman animals like you that should be shot in the head and like my friend said, you better get your filthy compatriots out of our islands. you are parasites that offer nothing to the world and pollute our great country with your noise and vomit. go kill yourself. MORON

[mieroth]

Looool. You're attacking me instead of attacking my argument. That implies that what I am saying has substance and you cannot find a valid argument against it. Thanks for that. :)

[melmothd]

you don't even make any sense. what a MORON!

[mieroth]

YEs, I am making sense. It's called the Ad hominem logical fallacy. And you just did it again. Stop it, please. :)

[WatchOutDuck]

Shut your face you stupid fat Swed. I will be going home whenever I LIKE so. and you better go get those sweds out of greece! they re making our place so dirty! ew!

[mieroth]

Loooool. Resorting to profanity will not promote me. Well, if you're 100% Greek what exactly are you doing in the UK? Couldn't be because it's our home could it? Of course, it's because you're ENGLISH. I do dare you to move to Greece because I get tired of ignorant comments made by Greeks overseas. Move to Greece and you'll realise just how unGreek you are and the world will be a better place. :)

[melmothd]

RASCIST SCUM

[mieroth]

It's very easy to cry racism at everyone move. Yet I have said nothing even remotely racist. And I can assure you that I am no racist. The only one implying racialist views here is you. :)

[melmothd]

now get the fuck out of this page since you have so much spite for my people! statistics say that sweds have the highest rate of suicide in europe, jee I wonder why haha!! Elena was born a Greek and will always be Greek no matter how much you hate to admit it! It's the mentality and the way grew up that speak who she is. welcome to my block list barbarian viking!

[mieroth]

"Your people." Looooool. I find that ethno-centricists are usually the most racist ones. And you certainly prove me right, damn racist. Sweden does not have even close to the highest suicide rate. Guess you believe too many rumours and don't read enough fact. The ex-soviets have the highest suicide rates and the Swedish one is about average. ;)

[mieroth]

And, as a note, I consider Elena to be a part of "my people." ;)

[nickpafras]

you act like ethnocentrist is an insult.....greeks are proud to be ethnocentrists...this is why we dont have out of countrol immigration problems like the rest of europe...pretty soon sweden will be all arab and muslim....thats what you get for your "open mindedness" .......what a load of shit!

[mieroth]

Ethno-centricism and religion is the cause for nearly all conflicts in the past (conflicts about $ being the exception). And lol, you realise that if Elena's family had not IMMIGRATED to Sweden she would not have been the person she is today? Probably wouldn't have gone into music, especially not the Swedish-sounding pop that Elena is known for in her Antique days.

[mieroth]

I love people with double standards. It's ok if Greeks migrate all over the world but not if people migrate to Greece? Ahaha. Soon the EU will have a common migration policy which will allow more workers into Greece. =) Personally I prefer people who want to enter my country to those who choose to leave it. But maybe that's just me. ;)

[mieroth]

Just realised you're American. LOL. That makes this argument so much funnier. :D

[nickpafras]

im not american, everybody always says that shit just because the default country was set to america when i started my account. what the fuck...

[nickpafras]

ok, well when you have mosques everywhere and your entire culture is stripped away and replaced by arab and pakistani culture we will see how open minded you are....

[mieroth]

Greek culture hasn't managed to take over yet. :)

[nickpafras]

im sure the people in your country would rather greek culture take over than arab or pakistani

[mieroth]

Why? :)

[melmothd]

and don't forget that your language is what it is because of OUR language. swidish originates from ancient greek pronanciation only with latin letters.

[nickpafras]

there is a difference between, being ethnically english and having english citizenship....a person from africa might be an english citizen but can never be "english" if you know what i mean.

[swedenhanna122]

I agree she is Greek even if she was born in Sweden!!!

She has Greek blood!!

[EscSimon]

Helena Paparizou, born 1982 in Sweden by Greek parents, won the Eurovision song contest in 2005 with the song "my number one". With her former band Antique (Nikos Panayotis) she already participated for Greece in 2001 with the song "(I would) die for you", which became third. Her albums, that all reached gold or platinum status in Greece, also get to high positions in the charts of her home country Sweden.

[HouseroDeIbiza]

PANAGIOTIDIS !!! not panayiotis..

[HouseroDeIbiza]

ah helena jag älskar dig!!! ja!! man kan se som du är också svensk!!!!!!!

[TasoGoneWild]

[HouseroDeIbiza]

[HouseroDeIbiza]

[Maxizi90]

How du you say like: "what is it?" if you want to ask somebody what they want. how du you say that in greek? thats what i want to find out =) since I dont understand the greek script. please type it in with roman latin script (on out keyboads) thanks^^

[LaPolaca18]

I am Polish but I also speak Greek at a basic level, so I think I can help you. However, I'm not still sure if I understood your question in a right way, so I give you 3 answers. "What is it": Ti ine afto?. "What do you want(from me)": Ti thelis (apo mena)? "What do you mean": Ti enois?

P.S It's all written fonetically.

[HouseroDeIbiza]

[ybetoula]

haha swedish sounds cool xD

[Sizzonz0r]

Ok now I heard, She speaks fluently Swedish :D

VERY NICE HELENA ^^ <3 NICE!

[Sizzonz0r]

OMG She speaks very good I think fluenty! Swedish :D

oh my god !! :P niceeee

[Prudence1]

She was born in Gothenburg, Sweden to Greek Parents. I think she has a typical Swedish accent, that you can tell she is from Gothenburg.

[kiliodoulos83]

hon kommer från Göteborg men hon kommer också från en grekisk stad som heter Karditsa!

[Sizzonz0r]

she speaks fluently swedish :P Helena is awesome ;)

[Nonny90]

does she have a big accent???

[mieroth]

In Swedish? Well, I'm not good at Swedish accent. She is from Gothenburg and they're supposed to have a different accent. But she might as well be from Stockholm as far as I can tell. xD She has a very standard Swedish accent, anyway. As does the interviewer, Jovan, whose parents are from Serbia. ;) Some second-generation immigrants do have different accents because of segregation and isolation in immigrant communities. Neither of these two do. They're completely fluent. =]

[baraJagoDu]

no accent at all , she speaks as good swedish as he is. i think she is born here in sweden actually

[Zhyttya]

lol...i wish i can understand swedish

[nkomp18]

helt och hålet, hon är jättekul, einai kai poly thea!

[greksvensk08]

jag gillar Elena med hela mitt hjarta!einai thea!
