    Ok, I understand, efharisto poli!

  • @linaaaap1 We pronounce η, ι and υ, the same, as a simple "ee" in every occasion. And there is no rule for where you use each one, especially in the middle of the words. Of course in the endings of the words, there are rules. For example for the endings of neuter nouns, we use -ι, and the ending -η is a sign that the noun or the adjective is feminine. Keep watching my videos and it will all become natural eventually!!!

    Cheers, Lina

  • @lastrovi Well you are right about ωμέγα, it's used as the last letter of verbs at the first person singular, but not only there. It's used in many other occasions, and there is no specific rule. For example: εγώ=Ι, ώρα=hour, ωραίος=fine(adj), χώμα=soil etc.

    As for Η, Ι , Υ, unfortunately there is no specific rule either. These letters were probably pronounced slightly different from each other in ancient Greek, but in modern Greek, we just learn the orthography (=correct righting) as it is.
