This is a song I made in 2006 to help me learn the different endings of Greek verbs. Please use it if it helps. I forgot to sing a syllable in the pluperfect, but then again nobody's pluperfect.

  • learn to pronounce it correctly! this is absolutely wrong! when you want to learn one language you have to learn the real pronounciation and not pronouncing it like your mother tongue sounds like. it's ridiculous. ancient greek sounds exactly like new greek and not like english or german or whatever. accept it!

  • @especialness why are you so angry? It is simply a song to help me remember the verb endings

  • brilliant!

  • great song!!

    

  • thats not a first aorist, thats a root aorist

  • By the way, trying to help you, I'd tell that pronouncing this verb right is not difficult. 'υ' must be pronounced like ee, let's say like alligator

  • You are right. I am greek and I am really happy that people learn ancient greek. It is hard even for as to learn it at school. You did a nice job, don't care about what they say. Trust me, only teachers can write (not speak) ancient greek and know the grammar. From the rest, about 5-10 % have a basic education but forget almost everything at the age of 25-30

  • why learn fuckin ancient greek??? :p

    ΕΙΣΑΙ ΜΑΛΑΚΑΣ?

  • Love it thanks for posting. I have thought of doing the same. Glad someone else already came up with it.

  • @especialness And how could you know that? Modern and Ancient Greek are vastly different

  • @aggieclint Thanks for helping me get an A in my Grk I class in grad school.

  • @especialness greetings time traveler, and welcome to our era. Perhaps if you have a recording of the local people speaking from your visits to ancient and Roman era Greece you could be of some use to us, other wise I would point you to peruse some of our fine grammers and grammarians who have concluded that we don't really know exactly how to pronounce the language from these eras.
