Έμαθα τα ελληνικά από τους γονείς μου που έφυγαν από την Ελλάδα πριν από 40 χρόνια. Αν και μιλάω ελληνικά κάθε μέρα, βλέπω τηλεόραση και περιπλανιέμαι στο CZcams μπερδεύομαι παρά πολλές φορές και μου σπάει τα νεύρα.
As a Greek I have to say this is one of the most important lessons, people interested in learning Greek should try to understand and go deeper. If you manage to clear this out, you will instantly be well above average in speaking Greek. Almost all non-Greeks trying to learn Greek, really mess this up 9 times out of 10. It's one of the easiest ways to spot a non-native Greek speaker, when you hear someone use one form of a verb in every instance, as is in English language for example, which is much more simplistic but lacks the richness, the power of expression and semantics and eventually the beauty of Greek (am a little biased here).
This is a perfect complement to Language Transfer's concept of 'open' (=continuous) and closed (=fixed). The two methods taken together make things very clear. Thanks a lot.
I salute you AND take off my hat to you for covering the subjunctive. You look through CZcams or on line, no body covers it. But, subjunctives are something we use a lot in our speech so we need to know and understand their use. Great job guys with this complicated bit of grammar. If your courage is up, how about covering conditionals?
I've been grappling with this a lot as I have young kids and I often want to tell him "na fas to faghto sou" when he is playing during a particular dinner, but at the same time want to tell him "na trws to faghto sou" to make it more as if I am giving him advice for the future as well provide him with a rule
I want to say you are a very talented Greek teacher....you speak slowly and clearly which I find SO helpful , euxaristo POLI !!!
Thank you ! It's a complicated but important topic, and your explanation is very good :)
I started this video thinking 'what's the big deal. subjunctives are easy'.
It was extremely interesting! The concept seems to be similar to the perfect verbs and continuous verbs in the Slavic languages. However, it is more differentiated, since it can be used in present tense as well. Fascinating how complex this Greek concept is!
(Not so) Easy Greek. :)
Ευχαριστώ Δημήτρη και Μαριλένα. Φοβερό επισώδιο.
Ώπα είπα λέω! Από τη Βοστώνη της Μασαχουσέτης
Your efforts to teach us the Subjunctive in a less difficult way are touching. Excellent! Congratulations! However, I will only confirm whether I've got it or not after I watch this video 200 times! Kind regards from Brazil! :)
The phrase "Πρέπει να πηγαίνω στη δουλειά" does have a point but it's rather vague or it has hidden meanings. It implies that one person must go everyday to work for various reasons that are not mentioned or are explained before (p.e. because I need the money is reason No 1 etc).
So useful! Thank you!
thank you ever so much with all your time and effort for including all those subtitles - I adore reading the Greek - even moreso... the beautiful rhythm and cadence of the language itself - as someone put it "the music of the authentic Greek" the authentic Greek subtitles together with the translations help me ENORMOUSLY with reading facility and vocabulary development (another huge challenge for me - the vocabulary) -- but with patience and consistency, I know the fluency and understanding will improve tremendously thanks to you and your wonderful colleagues and staff - looking forward to more videos and becoming a regular "Easy Greek" fan
You helped a lot, thank you so much!
Wow, this is a really clear and pleasantly presented treatment of one of the great difficulties of Greek. Μπράβο Δημήτρη και Μαριλένα!
Great video!
Είμαι φυτό γραμματικής. Ευχαριστώ για αυτό το επεισόδιο.
