how do you know?
the creation asked*

okay if the ï makes the ''i'' sound (as in bite), then what does the ü sound make, is it the same as the dipthong ou?

ϋ makes exactly the same sound as ϊ...keep in mind that they both always follow another vowel! when they are after an O they make the sound "oi"(as "oy" in boy)when they after an α they make the sound "ai"(i)

wow, so: eï & eü r the same, aï & aü r same, and oï/ωï & oü/ωü r the same?
that's weird, and hard to know which to use XD

hmmm actually ωϋ, and ωϊ dont exist....i think neither ωυ does...the combination ωι exists only in one word that i can think of right now and it's πρωί=(morning)..

I guess they don't exist because in ancient greek ω was a long vowel and ancient greek had no long diphthongs, or did it have?

ω is also considered a long vowel in modern greek...ancient Greeks though pronunced it a bit differently than modern ones..it was a long ooo instead of the short o which is in modern greek exactly like o-mikron..so dipthongs with ω would be very complicating i suppose for ancient Greeks and they wouldns sound beautifully...there would be the so called hiatus right there which Greeks try to avoid usually

It's is more complicated for anglosaxon speakers you know¿
It's easier for romance languages

lol my mom used to call my brothers animals to in greek. Nice video and thanks.

Growing up my mum used to yell at my brothers and sister and I 'vreh, zoh ee-ses-teh?!' (Are you animals!?) Lol.
