Many words and phrases tracing back to ancient and medieval Greek. As a native Greek i understand almost everything without difficulty. Greetings to all my Greko brothers 🇬🇷
In Greece we understand the calabrian greek dialect very well. Basically, it's medieval greek but it also includes many words which derive from ancient greek. For example, "jerrome" actually derives from "egirome"(εγείρομαι) and in Greece sometimes we use this word for the same meaning which is "I stand up" but we also use it for "I wake up" and for "I revolt". Also, in this video I saw idioms that we use in Greece too, like "pos pame"(πως πάμε) and "putten isse"(πούθεν είσαι).
What a beautiful language! I am a Brazilian person, but I have greek roots... my great-grandfather came from Greece. So it is beautiful to listen to! I did not know about this language; I can tell I am happy. I loved especially the poem. 💝 Good job and keep up the good work, Andi! You do not know awesome it is to us to watch your videos! OBRIGADO! 🤩
To be honest the sentence "Ela, 'èlamu kondà ti egò imme manachò" make me feel so sad somehow I feel the Calabrian Greek will be slowly fade away anytime soon.
Oh my God... Like I have mentioned several times before, I have multicultural roots such as Italian and Greek ancestry, and I am glad that I could catch THIS special video. Efcharisto, grazie mille & thanks❣️ Maybe my relatives lived there❣️Love to Greece 🇬🇷 and Italy 🇮🇹 ❣️💖
For a Germanic/English speaker it's easy to hear the "Kathìstra" to "Cathedral" connection in this Greek, whereas in Modern Greek the word for chair is "Karékla", which is a little harder.
Thank you @@DimitrisTziounis . That is weird. I went to Google Translate and it says καρέκλα. It also offers έδρα. But not κάθισμα. Next time I'll look at a better source.
@@ignoblesurfer6281 In modern greek there are many loan words of latin and italo-venetian origin. "Karekla" is actually one of these loan words and today it's more usual and popular than "kathisma". Unfortunately, the so-called modern greek language(also known as "dimotiki" in Greece) has ended up a mess of confusion and therefore that's exactly what you see on the Google translator.
It’s so funny that modern Greek borrowed the Italian word for chair, but then the Europeans (including Italians) borrowed the Greek word for chair. In Ancient Greek καθέδρα (cathedra) means chair. whereas καρέκλα (carecla) is an Italian word.
@@TheRealGhebs Yes, I know. But in Southern Italy there are political movements aiming to restore the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and in order to do this they also promote a philogenesis between Two Sicilies and Magna Graecia. But of course that's a bullshit, both because of chronological and political reasons, and because the "Southern Kingdom" born with the Normans actually contributed to the erosion of Hellenism in Southern Italy in favor of its Latinization. Most supporters of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies are from Naples (I think they are basically Neapolitans who want Naples to be a capital again), so they don't know anything about the history of Calabria.
@chiclett Many territories of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies have never be a part of Magna Graecia and never (much) Hellenized. As I've said, moreover, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies is actually the heir of that Kingdom of Sicily founded by the Normans who, by conquering the Greek-speaking regions of Italy, made them detached from the Byzantine Empire and, thus, from the rest of the Greek-speaking world. The Kingdom of Sicily/of Naples/of the Two Sicilies Latinized them.
Omg THIS IS SO TRIPPY! Listening to this as Greek is SO weird, it's definitelly different than greek but I can understand it!!!! Especially since it is also written. It is so weird to hear a dialect so similar to greek 😮😮😮 It does take some effort to understand it though, I don't know why there are so many greeks saying they understand it perfectly 😂 they might be exaggerating a bit. That being said, I did understand every word since it was written. I'd have a little more trouble if it was only sound.
The OG ones know Andy did this already. I particularly remember this because of the "Ela, ela mu konda" poem. One of my favorites absolutely 🥰 Sad that Calabrian Greek is slowly fading, though.

As a Greek I can say I understand everything without difficulty! They preserved the language really well!!
The Romans highly respected Greeks and didn’t see them as barbaric at all compared to Illyrians, Gauls and Celtiberians as well as Daco-Thracians
on my dna test i found a great grandfather from calabria name antonio macripoli i think I got my greek ancestry from him

But in modern greek oftentimes we say "kathisma" instead of "karekla".

Why do they have the French „R“
