    Greek (ελληνικά) is an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages with a written record of over 3,000 years, easily making it the oldest documented Indo-European language. The Greek alphabet, originating from the Phoenician script, was the basis of numerous other scripts, such as Latin, Cyrillic, Coptic, Gothic, and Armenian. The Greek language has virtually impacted other languages in every corner of the world, being an important component of Western civilization, the Christian religion, and the language of some of the fundamental texts of science, astronomy, and mathematics. The Greek language today holds official status in Greece and Cyprus, and is recognized as a minority language in Albania, Armenia, Hungary, Italy, Romania, and Ukraine.
    Romanian (limba română) is a Balkan Romance language within the Italic branch of the Indo-European family. It is spoken primarily in Romania and Moldova where it is the official language, in addition to being one of the official languages of the European Union. Having evolved from different Vulgar Latin dialects, Romanian is a part of the Eastern Romance sub-branch of Romance languages. Within the group, the language is called Daco-Romanian in order to distinguish it from Aromanian, Megleno-Romanian and Istro-Romanian.

      There are also some Romanian words of Greek origin that are not present in Bulgarian, mostly earlier borrowings, some of which entered the language through Vulgar Latin, like mic=small, proaspăt=fresh, cuib=nest.
      Words borrowed directly from Greek and not present in any other language seem to be relatively rare, but I know the word folos (utility) is definitely in this category.

      @@Games-hn3ys Well it does make sense. The word we use for blanket is a loan word from the venetian dialect of Italian and since Romanian is also a Romance language, you have it too. What is fascinating though is that Lemnos and Delos have completely different meanings in greek (ancient greek to be exact) than what you said in Romanian. Lemnos is produced by a word which means "rich plains" and Delos from a word which means "visible" or "revealed". I always find it interesting when something has a completely different meaning in other languages. My greetings to Romania.

I don't speak any of those languages but it kept me spell bound I speak some Loumanian and some Greec. What I miss in this particular video, is the repetition off the words in the other language.

      @@jibran4794 I'm not sure. Prince Charles is related to Vlad the Impaler, so anything is possible. But I personally think that there is no relation between the English Tudors and the Romanian name "Tudor". It most likely is just a coincidence (unless proven otherwise).
      Edit: upon further research I determined that the etymology of the English family "Tudor" likely comes from Welsh "Tutir" which ultimately is the welsh name for "Theodor". So it seems the Romanian "Tudor" and English "Tudor" are related after all but they developed independently from separate sources and coincidentally morphed into the same spelling.

    Roof tiles - Keremidi
    Sugar - Zahar
    Mussel - Mida
    Skirt - Fusta (Actually this word is very rare in modern Bulgarian speech, the common word is ''Pola")
    There are in sense a lot of other common words between them, some which come from Turkish like fusta, tavan, haide and others, also some words of Slavic origin like vidra and the romanian word lopata, same in Bulgarian a so much on!

      @mugur de fluier Ok look there are different explanations for the true origins of those words, my opinion is izvor is slavic because we have the same word and maybe the verb also comes from that root word, I know that rat is pluh(not plunk), but maybe this is an old slavic word that you took, zapada and omat are both slavic too, zapada in Bulgarian literally means ''falling down'' - the snow that falls down, and omat is also old, but slavic, ogar too, albanians also took this form the slavic people, lopata is truly slavic, albanian and hungarians borrowed it from the slavic people too like you, gasca I know is a common indoeuropean word, but maybe you just took that word from the slavic people, I guess, cocos is slavic, (cocosca in bulgarian) and cheek in bulgarian is Chovka, this maybe not have connection to romanian indeed but I wanna say at all that you borrowed a lot of words from the slavic languages (around 15% of the romanian vocabulary is slavic) and from old Bulgarian too(for ex. the romanian word for sand is Nisip - from the old Bulgarian word Nasip) and even you had the cyrillic script before, this is just a facts, is visible that you haved an extensive contact with slavic speakers! All of that is my opinion for the words, and actually this is the most popular theories for their origin, so I just say, but it's possible to have and exceptions and different explanations yeah, I'm not an expert, just saying my opinion so don't get annoyed please! :)

    This is fascinating. Lots of love to our Balkan people. I watched the episode of Albanian and Rumanian as well and realized how connected we have been through out history.
    Some words I understood such as Mide (mussels), and Fusta (Dress). In Albanian we say Midhe, and Fustan.
    Midhe probably comes from Albanian Me - Dhe (With - Sand), and Fustan from Albanian Fus - Tan (Fit - All).
    Don't mean to start some Balkan nationalism here as many of the words I don't see a connection, but shows how much our cultures have intertwined through out the millleania. ☮️❤️

      Mide comes from modern Greek word “midi” (μύδι) witch comes from Ancient Greek word “mis” (μῦς) = mouse and word fusta comes from Venetian word fusta.

    • @GJ-dj4jx
      @GJ-dj4jx Před rokem

      Mussels/ Midi comes from Greek mouse? Are you kidding me 🤣 Also what does Fusta mean in Venetian? They are considered to be of Illyrian stock so I would not be surprised if they have similar words to Albanian

    And other languages have influenced Greek. When you take down the borders and the labels for ethnicities, similar vocabulary is used across connected geography with predictable variations in the pronunciation for words that represent the same thing in reality. That’s pretty cool and amazing!!! Thank you. And I must say your guest is incredibly beautiful. And your other guest is handsome. And all of you are so nice.

    Hello. Glad to see someone other than the same guy representing the Romanian language.
    Now, as for the video. We don't say "plicticos", we say "plictisitor".
    Relatively recent Greek words that came to Romania and Romanian language through the Church, especially in the Byzantine period.
    The latest theories confirm that in fact the ancient Greeks were influenced by proto-Romanians (Greek gods of Geto-Dacian origin: Dionysos, Gebeleizis, Derzelas, Bendis, etc.) which is why there are still Aromanians, Megleno-Romanians and Macedo-Romanians in Greece and neighbouring countries, as a sign that we were aborigines and the Greeks and Slavs are colonizers.
    But this is another story that is not accepted by most Romanian and European academics.
