I had a Portuguese friend and she hosted me in her home at Lisboa. We were speaking in English and one day she said: I don't know how to say this word in English. Say it in Portuguese I said just for fun and I was surprised when she said the word and it was a Greek one! This happened many time in the following days. The Mediterannean languages have many common words. The Portuguese, Spanish, French and Italian languages have many Greek words but also the Greek language have many Italian, Spanish/Portuguese and French words. Since we have the same culture too I wish one day we could establish a federation and live together.
In spanish we say very similar these words too:. Kerasi_cereza. Fantasma same😊 but stressed in the second sylable Kuneli_conejo. Roloi_reloj Arpa same too😊😅 But koros for us Will be a musical chorus in church above all.😊 We have an very large basis of old greek , latín and arabian words. I love these cultural comparations videos❤
@@alexandrosmarinis3704 wow. High time the Greek, Romans own their past. They should give respect to Athena & Gaia and others . All that Judo Christian culture Americans talk is essentially Greeko Roman. Middle Eastern faiths are not tolerant.

cherry = cereja glue = cola rope/chord = corda harp = harpa ghost = fantasma rabbit/bunny = coelho clock/watch = relógio diamond = diamante See how similiar the words in Portuguese are. Greetings from Brazil.
All of those words are latin words that in their turn decent from Greek words.To give you an example the cherry was cultivated in Kerasun.When kerasun was conquered that fruit which was unknown to rome was paraded in their triumph.They named it after the city it was produced.Kerasun is in modern day Turkey and due to the inability to pronounce it properly in the eastern language they call it Gerasun.So we got Kerasin which is the Greek,Cerasium which is the same just with a latin endfix and then we got cherry today in english. Now a major important rule.C.C is the same as K everywhere but when it is in the end of the word.Then it is pronounced S.That medieval Greek.So basically Cerasun and Kerasun are the same.Problem is this rule was lost with words of different cities and countries but it still is true.Thats the reason in enlish their say Cooper(koper) which is a metal named in latin after Cyprus but they dont say Kyprus which is the corect one they say Saiprus.
Actually diamond in Greece is “athamas” (th is pronounced like English “the”) and plural (diamondS) is “athàmantes”. It means: it can’t be tamed (because is too hard)
Thanks for such a video .I liked their presentation, their smiling faces like roses, lulia. I am actually from Kashmir/ Ceshmir(Chesmir). Your grand grand Ancestors had migrated during wanderers and gatherers times firstly and later on Greek rule was established. I am working on the origin of our language. It has all the similarities with the Albanian language. Construction of sentences, articles, prepositions and all alphabet letters consonants and vowels which the Albanian language has. All these words exist in our language with the same old greek. At the same time our language has Germanic words and sentence formats.
Loved this 💕 As for the first Greek word for a young boy (koros), in Cypriot Greek we still use its feminine form -- Kori -- to address girls we're friends with. Only in the vocative form, but yes, ever so frequently! Well done, all of you. It was fun to play along and find out new nuggets of information :)
Ναι. Για Σας! 😊 Καλημέρα! Εγώ είμαι μεσσαπικο προσοπω (I'm a people from Salento) ☺️ We say "ceràsa" (cherry, in English) 🙂 P.S.

Being from the province of Reggio Calabria, we share many words with the sicilian dialect. Also here in Calabria as well as in Salento (Puglia) there are minorities of greek speaking communities. They speak a variant of greek, not the modern one.

This video is really fascinating because it demonstrates the Greek history that is very ancient in Sicily actually going back to the foundation of the first Greek colonies around the mid 8th century BC. The Greeks of Sicily were known as Siceliotes. Over the following centuries many conflicts between the city-states occurred until around 276 BC Pyrrhus of Epirus managed to conquer the whole island except Carthaginian Lilybaeum. After the First Punic War in 241 BC the island was conquered by the Romans.
The Greek lady definitely knows the word “Kori” in Greek written as Κόρη meaning “daughter” but historically suggesting a young woman. So yes, Greeks still use the root of the word koros.
The Land or Islands of Macaron or Makaron (also Elysian Fields) is the place where the priced and heroic dead go according to ancient Greek mythology and folklore. So, the pastry products are connected to that, what was probably being offered in funerals. The french macaron is also of the same origins.
Makaroni doesn't exists in Italy, it' s maccheroni in italian and maccarruna in sicilian. But we have "macàri" in sicilian and "magari" in italian, which means the same thing of greek
My parents were born outside of Naples in 1934 and came to USA as teenagers. I’m 62 years old now and found out about two years ago that I have 25 % Greek ancestry after taking one of those DNA tests. No one in my family ever knew of any Greek ancestry. Anyway now I tell anyone who will listen how proud I am of being of Greek descent. I had recently bought the flag of Greece to fly next to my American and Italian flag.
Naples was a Greek 🇬🇷 city meaning Neapolis new city. Most Greek people in Italy lost their identity due the force of Catholic Church and lost their identity it wasn’t hard to become Italian because the culture is similar from death grieving family everything I was in Rome literally in Rome went to a small town and it was like in Greece 🇬🇷 but different language

Like Greece, the poorest parts of Italy are mainly Greek. It was not until the Romans, Etruscans and more took this inspiration and created a new modern empire and Europe to make Italy what it is today.
Actually, Greeks still use the word "Kouros" to refer to a good looking young man, and it still survives in the word "kourion" (barber shop for men) and "kourazome" (κουράζομαι = I get tired from hard work, as only young men work) . In fact, scratch every modern Greek word and you will find that it is actually timeless in origin and "semasiological" (semantic) context.
@Sansansan349 interesting. In Greek, the word “Kori” also means girl but it is more often used to refer to one’s daughter nowadays, instead of θυγατήρ (thygater) which literally means daughter. The relation between Kurdish and Greek is either a common language ancestry or Greek influence during the Hellenistic times subsequent to Alexander’s conquests.
@@troiscarottes Yes, "semantic". The word semantic is Greek from sēmantikos "significant," from sēmainein "to show by sign, signify, point out, indicate by a sign," from sēma "sign, mark, token; omen, etc. As a greek, I prefer to use the word "semasiological" although it has not been borrowed into english in this form. It is more accurate amongst Greek linguists since the derivative "semasia" refers to the "meaning" of a word, whereas "semantic" (semantikos) denotes importance/significance, so semantic is actually wrong in its literal usage. Be it as it may, I am sorry for the confusion due to my overcorrection. (Thanks to your question I clarified it in parentheses) However, I am impressed that you related the word to what I meant.
The two words actually have different roots. κοῦρος comes from *κόρϝος and the Indo-European word for "to grow", just like κόρος/κόρεσμος. κουράζομαι from κουρά, κορμός, κείρω from the Indo-European root for "to cut"/"to sheer".
@@enyalios316 there is no such language as “Indo-European”, for the latter is a theory propounded to explain similarities. The fact remains that Greek seems to be the only language where these supposed “Indo-European” roots are found in so many derivatives, signifying that Greek may very well be the prime root. And you are right about kourein meaning to sheer/cut. We still use it in this meaning both to name barber shops ( as κουρείον) and the sheering of sheep ( as κουρά). Κουράδα is also a candidate 😊.. Ergo, as previously mentioned, it is quite possible that “Hellenic” is the mother dubbed as “Indo-European” , the influence of the former expanded from Europe to India.
Interesting. Both sides of my family are from the same town on the north coast of Sicily and in my DNA other than mostly southern Italy, there's a good amount of Cypriot.

Sicilia e Grecia una volta parlavano il Greco antico. Sicilia oggi parla Italiano, una lingua che a noi suona troppo viccina al Greco. Grecia pure parla una lingua che proviene dalla lingua antica.

Scusate per l'ortografia, ho dimenticato come si srive esato in Italiano, pero Io sento l' Italia come una seconda Patria.
Quello che tu dici non è del tutto vero. In Sicilia c'erano delle colonie greche dove si parlava l'antico greco appunto perché erano colonie con coloni di provenienza e di origine greca. Il popolo autoctono siciliano parlava il siculo, una lingua indoeuropea di tipo latino.

Γαία (Gaia) is still used in Greek in its diminutive form of Γη (Ge) to refer both to land and the planet. Modern Greek is a direct, unbroken continuum of Ancient Greek, albeit evolved and often simplified.
Koros, is of course still used in modern times in Greek, in Greece as koritsi=young girl, and in Cyprus, kore=young girl (vocative), or korua=young girl (nominative)
I really enjoyed this. I was particularly struck by the relation between "carusu" and "κόρος". 0:54 While it's true we no longer say "κόρος" we do still use its Ionic version "κούρος" to refer to the pre-classical era statues and we also use frequently its female counterpart "κόρη" (daughter) and its diminutive form "κορίτσι" (girl).
My mother's from Ancona, and considered herself a northern Italian. However, Ancestry DNA shows she was mainly southern Italian with an admixture of Greek, Greek islands, and Albanian. Her grandfather was named Socrate. Ancona was originally a Greek colony.
@@steveneardley7541 First of all Ancona is Central Italy ( And Tuscans being Central too are the only ones close to North than every place in Marche and Central Italy) and if she has mainly South Italian in ancestry it means she probably is Southern or part Southern but she doesn't know. I assume by your nick you are American and i've met quite a lot of Italian Americans who were supposed to be from a place in Italy while their dna showed something very different because they didn't know well their ancestry and just supposed they were from a specific place infact. Also the likeness in dna among some Greeks and some Italians most of the times is just because of similar percentages of fractions of DNA, Like percentages of med, nordic and near easterner, it has nothing to do with coming from Greeks. Tuscans and North Italians are completely different from Greeks.
And Vino is most probably a loan from ancient Greek Oinos (Οίνος). We use Krasi (Κρασί) in modern Greek and Retsina is used for the lower quality white wine with Retsini (Resin) used as additive.

If some greek person will read this, could you tell me if these are true? Caracanzu: 'glebionis coronaria' , it's supposed to be related to kalakanzi (?? Therica: a rolled cake, therikos(?)
Fantasma or phantasma derives from the Greek phenomai meaning to appear. Phenomenon also derives from that verb. Orologgio derives form the Greek orologion (ωρολόγιον) meaning time or hour telling.
interesting...the word "apeukhomai" that you wrote ,regarding you refer to the greek "απεύχομαι" ... it's a verb in first person singular form and would mean "to wish something to not happen (usually something bad to not happen)" ... pretty much the opposite

Just a note on the 1st topic "koros"(κόρος)- "kouros"(κούρος) is the male form of ancient AND modern Greek for female "kori"(κόρη), which actually is "girl" in English. Just to make things more interesting in complication, in modern Greek it's common to refer girls in neutral form "koritsi"(κορίτσι). Noteworthy in modern Greek the word for boy is only in neutral form: "agori"(αγόρι). Please feel free to comment on that. Thank you.
Two lovely women, I thank you both. I'm an Italian American living in the UK, It's so interesting learning how languages intertwine with one another ...
We use Κορη = Kori in Greek to this day which is the female form of Koros = Kouros, in the ancient. And in parts of Greece, like Crete we use Kopelli for young boys which has the same meaning. Lassa= Laskere.

The word for clock is actually ωρολόγιον (pronounced as oroloyion) and its simplified modern form is ρολόι . The etymology of word ωρολόγιον is from the word ώρα (that has given the english word hour) and the suffix -λόγιον that denotes a machinery/apparatus to depict the first part of the word Examples ανεμολόγιον , ανεμος -> wind , the apparatus to show the winds ημερολόγιον , ημέρα is day , so ημερολόγιον shows the days, it is the calendar.
Lassa could be linked to the greek "λάσκα": "Αφήνω λάσκα", which means "I let go" or "I give space", we use it in situations like while flying a kite, when fishing or when you secure a boat in the port, where you let the rope to unravel. "Άσε λίγο λάσκα το σχοινί".

Η λέξη κόρος υπάρχει και στα νέα Ελληνικά αλλά με διαφορετική εντελώς ερμηνεία. Συγκεκριμένα πρόκειται για ναυτικό όρο που χρησιμοποιείται ως μονάδα μέτρησης χωρητικότητας πλοίων. 1 Κόρος = 2,83 κυβικά μέτρα (ή 100 κυβικά πόδια). Στα αγγλικά μεταφράζεται ως tonnage.
Actually the word Κòros in the form of Κούρος (Kùros) is used to define statues of young vigorous adolescens and has exactly the meaning of Sicilian Carusu. But its still used the female type of Kòros the Κόρη pronounced kòree in modern greek meaning young girl sometimes with the meaning of daughter
Many of the Sicilian words look like Byzantine Greek and not Ancient Greek. It’s not weird as Sicily was part of the Byzantine world first some centuries.

The Sicilian's girl name "Gaia", the Greek word for "Earth" but pronounced slightly different, like the American "Yeah". But Gaia in Cosmogony symbolizes the material side of the Cosmos, unlike the Earth. Gaia, Eros and Chaos pre-existed the creation. Came out of the Cosmical Egg which in turn came out of nothing or Nyx (Night). The Chaos symbolizes the space of the Cosmos and the Eros (love), the moving force which unites, mutates and ultimately, transforms the "Pan" (The "everything", the SymPan/The Cosmos/The Universe we see). The Greek's girl name, Athina... Well, both girls couldn't have more Greek names. Well done! I love pre-Christian names. Two of my Greek ex-girls were named "Artemis" and "Daphne".
Founded by Greek colonists of Magna Graecia in the 8th century BC, Messina was originally called Zancle (Greek: Ζάγκλη), from the Greek ζάγκλον meaning "scythe" because of the shape of its natural harbour (though a legend attributes the name to King Zanclus). A comune of its Metropolitan City, located at the southern entrance of the Strait of Messina, is to this day called 'Scaletta Zanclea'. Solinus wrote that the city of Metauros was established by people from Zancle.[9] In the early 5th century BC Anaxilas of Rhegium renamed it Messene (Μεσσήνη) in honour of the Greek city Messene (See also List of traditional Greek place names). Later, Micythus was the ruler of Rhegium and Zancle, and he also founded the city of Pyxus.[10] The city was sacked in 397 BC by the Carthaginians and then reconquered by Dionysius I of Syracuse. a tract of around 30 kilometres of beaches of Messina the Feluca, a typical boat used by the fishermen of Messina to hunt swordfish In 288 BC the Mamertines seized the city by treachery, killing all the men and taking the women as their wives. The city became a base from which they ravaged the countryside, leading to a conflict with the expanding regional empire of Syracuse. Hiero II, tyrant of Syracuse, defeated the Mamertines near Mylae on the Longanus River and besieged Messina. Carthage assisted the Mamertines because of a long-standing conflict with Syracuse over dominance in Sicily. When Hiero attacked a second time in 264 BC, the Mamertines petitioned the Roman Republic for an alliance, hoping for more reliable protection. Although initially reluctant to assist lest it encourage other mercenary groups to mutiny, Rome was unwilling to see Carthaginian power spread further over Sicily and encroach on Italy. Rome, therefore, entered into an alliance with the Mamertines. In 264 BC, Roman troops were deployed to Sicily, the first time a Roman army acted outside the Italian Peninsula. At the end of the First Punic War it was a free city allied with Rome. In Roman times Messina, then known as Messana, had an important pharos (lighthouse). Messana was the base of Sextus Pompeius, during his war against Octavian.[citation needed] After the fall of the Western Roman Empire the city was successively ruled by Goths from 476, then by the Byzantine Empire in 535, by the Arabs in 842, and in 1061 by the Norman brothers Robert Guiscard and Roger Guiscard (later count Roger I of Sicily). In 1189 the English King Richard I ("The Lionheart") stopped at Messina en route to the Holy Land for the Third Crusade and briefly occupied the city after a dispute over the dowry of his sister, who had been married to William the Good, King of Sicily. In 1345 Orlando d'Aragona, the illegitimate son of Frederick II of Sicily was the strategos of Messina.[citation needed] In 1347 Messina was one of the first points of entry for the black death into Western Europe. Genoese galleys travelling from the infected city of Kaffa carried plague into the Messina ports. Kaffa had been infected via Asian trade routes and the siege of Kaffa from infected Mongol armies led by Janibeg; it was a departure point for many Italian merchants who fled the city to Sicily. Contemporary accounts from Messina tell of the arrival of "Death Ships" from the East, which floated to shore with all the passengers on board already dead or dying of plague. Plague-infected rats probably also came aboard these ships. The black death ravaged Messina and rapidly spread northward into mainland Italy from Sicily in the following few months.[citation needed]
In Italiano si dice 'magari' per dire 'spero che'. In Italiano si dice 'macheroni' per dire pasta da manggiare. Pero non si sa che tutte e due parole provengono dal Greco. Per esempio '' Οι Μακαρες Θεοι'' = 'I Makares Thei. Che significa '' I beati Dei''
Makari is I think deriving from Homeric times. In the Iliad there is a reference mentioning that the righteous warriors were not going to the Elysian fields like ordinary people but to the Island of the Makari. Something like Valhalla i suppose.

The theory that modern Albanians are direct descendants of ancient Illyrians has been debunked by genetic studies. According to a study published in the journal "European Journal of Human Genetics" in 2012, modern Albanians have significant genetic input from populations outside the Balkans, particularly from Slavic and Greek populations. [Source: "The genetic legacy of the expansion of Turkic-speaking nomads across Eurasia" - European Journal of Human Genetics, 2012]
Ancient Illyrian people were related to us, the current Albanian people, especially the Muslim groups, have been imported into Illyrian territories by the Ottoman sultans to break down the unity of christian populations, who were the Illyrian roman catholics and the byzantine orthodox Greeks . Under communism, some communities merged, but most retain their ethnic groups. The Muslims originated somewhere in central Asia, near the Alban river, and were imported as settlers by the current sultan ruling at that time. Illyrian people still look very northern European, Greeks living in Albania descending from the Byzantines look very Greek, and then there are the mixed people who have a little Illyrian, a little Greek, a lot of Asian excetera....

My maternal side is Italian, American grandmother was born in Sicily my grandfather’s grandparents were the Naples region before they moved to New York! They were very proud of their Italian origins. I did my DNA and I had up to 10 to 12 from the Greek region! So my grandmother might have up to 30%. But it was also interesting. They had northern Italian overlapping with south eastern French. Besides Central and southern Italian! I think my grandmother’s connections could be Himera because my grandmother was born a few miles south west of there! My father side is Irish. So very typical New York, and New Jersey or the northeast of the USA.

Good to know about some of the common words between Sicilian and Greek
In Portuguese:
cirasa / κεράσι (kerási) = cereja
fantasimu / φάντασμα (fántasma) = fantasma
codda / κόλλα (kólla) = cola
cunigghiu / κουνέλι (kounéli) = coelho
raloggiu / ρολόι (rolói) = relógio
arpa / άρπα (árpa) = harpa
Most portugesse words are easily indedified from Greeks.i use to make fun by trying to understand portugesse.❤❤
I had a Portuguese friend and she hosted me in her home at Lisboa. We were speaking in English and one day she said: I don't know how to say this word in English. Say it in Portuguese I said just for fun and I was surprised when she said the word and it was a Greek one! This happened many time in the following days. The Mediterannean languages have many common words. The Portuguese, Spanish, French and Italian languages have many Greek words but also the Greek language have many Italian, Spanish/Portuguese and French words. Since we have the same culture too I wish one day we could establish a federation and live together.
Corda = corda, but can be used with the meaning of 'strings' and 'rope'.
In spanish we say very similar these words too:.
Kerasi_cereza.
Fantasma same😊 but stressed in the second sylable
Kuneli_conejo.
Roloi_reloj
Arpa same too😊😅
But koros for us Will be a musical chorus in church above all.😊
We have an very large basis of old greek , latín and arabian words.
I love these cultural comparations videos❤
Another word in Sicilian is "bucale" a glass pitcher to dispense water. I believe there is a similar word in Greek that means glass bottle.
The word is " bukali".
indeed. and we use "μποτιλια" (botiglia) for a larger container. Funny how neighbouring languages trade back and forth, huh?
But in this case (and not only) is the Greeks who took the word from the Italians! The correct word for the bottle in Greek is, Fiàli! Fi a li

Greetings from Brazil.
cereza, fantasma, cola, conejo, reloj, frijol, arpa o harpa, diamante, cuerda
The full word of relogio in Greek is orologio meaning time-telling.
All of those words are latin words that in their turn decent from Greek words.To give you an example the cherry was cultivated in Kerasun.When kerasun was conquered that fruit which was unknown to rome was paraded in their triumph.They named it after the city it was produced.Kerasun is in modern day Turkey and due to the inability to pronounce it properly in the eastern language they call it Gerasun.So we got Kerasin which is the Greek,Cerasium which is the same just with a latin endfix and then we got cherry today in english.
Now a major important rule.C.C is the same as K everywhere but when it is in the end of the word.Then it is pronounced S.That medieval Greek.So basically Cerasun and Kerasun are the same.Problem is this rule was lost with words of different cities and countries but it still is true.Thats the reason in enlish their say Cooper(koper) which is a metal named in latin after Cyprus but they dont say Kyprus which is the corect one they say Saiprus.
Actually diamond in Greece is “athamas” (th is pronounced like English “the”) and plural (diamondS) is “athàmantes”.
It means: it can’t be tamed (because is too hard)
Thanks for such a video .I liked their presentation, their smiling faces like roses, lulia.
I am actually from Kashmir/ Ceshmir(Chesmir). Your grand grand Ancestors had migrated during wanderers and gatherers times firstly and later on Greek rule was established. I am working on the origin of our language. It has all the similarities with the Albanian language. Construction of sentences, articles, prepositions and all alphabet letters consonants and vowels which the Albanian language has.
All these words exist in our language with the same old greek. At the same time our language has Germanic words and sentence formats.
Loved this 💕 As for the first Greek word for a young boy (koros), in Cypriot Greek we still use its feminine form -- Kori -- to address girls we're friends with. Only in the vocative form, but yes, ever so frequently!
Well done, all of you. It was fun to play along and find out new nuggets of information :)
In modern Greek kori (the feminine of koros/kouros) is used and it means daughter.

This video is really fascinating because it demonstrates the Greek history that is very ancient in Sicily actually going back to the foundation of the first Greek colonies around the mid 8th century BC. The Greeks of Sicily were known as Siceliotes. Over the following centuries many conflicts between the city-states occurred until around 276 BC Pyrrhus of Epirus managed to conquer the whole island except Carthaginian Lilybaeum. After the First Punic War in 241 BC the island was conquered by the Romans.
West Greece is South Epirus and is Albanian land currently under Greek occupation. Greeks are brainwashed orthodox Albanians.

The Greek lady definitely knows the word “Kori” in Greek written as Κόρη meaning “daughter” but historically suggesting a young woman. So yes, Greeks still use the root of the word koros.
4:40 Makari = ancient Greek wish for hope.
Noun Makarios means joyful, happy.
Makaroni comes from this word, they ate it and fell happy
Makaria it was in ancient Greece a food from pasta Macaroni and it comes from the word Makarios of course like you said
The Land or Islands of Macaron or Makaron (also Elysian Fields) is the place where the priced and heroic dead go according to ancient Greek mythology and folklore. So, the pastry products are connected to that, what was probably being offered in funerals. The french macaron is also of the same origins.
Makaroni doesn't exists in Italy, it' s maccheroni in italian and maccarruna in sicilian. But we have "macàri" in sicilian and "magari" in italian, which means the same thing of greek

My parents were born outside of Naples in 1934 and came to USA as teenagers.

Like Greece, the poorest parts of Italy are mainly Greek. It was not until the Romans, Etruscans and more took this inspiration and created a new modern empire and Europe to make Italy what it is today.
@tlacorp.3813 The poorest part of Ancient Italy was the Greek city states? Are you sniffing bath salts or what my guy?
Actually, Greeks still use the word "Kouros" to refer to a good looking young man, and it still survives in the word "kourion" (barber shop for men) and "kourazome" (κουράζομαι = I get tired from hard work, as only young men work) . In fact, scratch every modern Greek word and you will find that it is actually timeless in origin and "semasiological" (semantic) context.
@Sansansan349 interesting. In Greek, the word “Kori” also means girl but it is more often used to refer to one’s daughter nowadays, instead of θυγατήρ (thygater) which literally means daughter.
The relation between Kurdish and Greek is either a common language ancestry or Greek influence during the Hellenistic times subsequent to Alexander’s conquests.
Semasiological? Would that be "semantic? " 😮
@@troiscarottes Yes, "semantic". The word semantic is Greek from sēmantikos "significant," from sēmainein "to show by sign, signify, point out, indicate by a sign," from sēma "sign, mark, token; omen, etc.
As a greek, I prefer to use the word "semasiological" although it has not been borrowed into english in this form. It is more accurate amongst Greek linguists since the derivative "semasia" refers to the "meaning" of a word, whereas "semantic" (semantikos) denotes importance/significance, so semantic is actually wrong in its literal usage. Be it as it may, I am sorry for the confusion due to my overcorrection. (Thanks to your question I clarified it in parentheses)
However, I am impressed that you related the word to what I meant.
The two words actually have different roots. κοῦρος comes from *κόρϝος and the Indo-European word for "to grow", just like κόρος/κόρεσμος.
κουράζομαι from κουρά, κορμός, κείρω from the Indo-European root for "to cut"/"to sheer".
@@enyalios316 there is no such language as “Indo-European”, for the latter is a theory propounded to explain similarities.
The fact remains that Greek seems to be the only language where these supposed “Indo-European” roots are found in so many derivatives, signifying that Greek may very well be the prime root.
And you are right about kourein meaning to sheer/cut. We still use it in this meaning both to name barber shops ( as κουρείον) and the sheering of sheep ( as κουρά). Κουράδα is also a candidate 😊..
Ergo, as previously mentioned, it is quite possible that “Hellenic” is the mother dubbed as “Indo-European” , the influence of the former expanded from Europe to India.
A Greek word that's probably derived from Sicilian "picciridu" is "pitsirikos/πιτσιρίκος" and it also means young boy in modern Greek.
Just heard the song Pitsirika. 🎵

Just to add some synthetic words that comes from Gaia used every day globally like , pure Greek GEOGRAPHY , GEODESIA , GEOSTATIC , GEOPOLITICAL, GEOMETRY and plethora others that use the first synthetic of GEA like , GEOSTRACTURE , GEOFENCE etc
1:52 koros (young boy) is used in modern Greek but in the female version: Kori (young girl - daughter)
In Sardinian language (and its own dialects):
Carusu/koros /young boy : pitzinnu, piseddu, piciocu (so we use different words, Sardinian ones came from latin pisinnus and pisellus, piciocu cognates with sicilian picciottu, or italian piccino, picciolo, through the root *pic, also see Spanish pequeño)
Cirasa/kerasi/cherry: kerasia/ceraxia (conservative dialects preserved velar k, the innovative ones lose it)
Agnuni/gonia/corner: àngulu, cantu (so no relationships with greek)
Macari/makari/maybe, perhaps: mancari, mancai
Fantasimu/fantasma/phantom: pantama (f>p)
Codda/colla/glue: colla (codda in a *naughty* word in Sardinian 😅, but in southern Sardinian we use also podda for glue, that comes from pollen but means gluten, as in English glue < gluten)
Cunigghiu/kouneli/rabbit : cunillu (but prob. through Iberian languages)
Raloggiu/roloi/clock: (ar)rellogiu (as above, prob. Iberian)
Fasola/fasolia/bean: fasolu

There are some other words in Sardinian dictionary referring to a Greek etymology, but since those are transliterated (prob. badly), I can't find them in Greek dictionaries.
If some greek person will read this, could you tell me if these are true?
Caracanzu: 'glebionis coronaria' , it's supposed to be related to kalakanzi (??
Therica: a rolled cake, therikos(?)
Fantasma or phantasma derives from the Greek phenomai meaning to appear. Phenomenon also derives from that verb.
Orologgio derives form the Greek orologion (ωρολόγιον) meaning time or hour telling.
interesting...the word "apeukhomai" that you wrote ,regarding you refer to the greek "απεύχομαι" ... it's a verb in first person singular form and would mean "to wish something to not happen (usually something bad to not happen)" ... pretty much the opposite
Spanish = English
Cereza = cherry
Angulo/Esquina = angle/corner
Fantasma = phantom
Cola/Pegamento/Cola = glue
Conejo = rabbit
Reloj = clock
@@andreaskyriakopoulos2976 thanks, it could be a semantic change, not so odd if compared to the other words above (κυάνεος > ghiani , the black or dark coat of an animal), any guesses about the other ones?
In Sardinian caracanzu is the popular name for the "glebionis coronaria" , a wild yellow chrysanthemum with a strong smell, Sardinian dictionary says this comes from (ancient?) greek "kalakanzi", have you ever heard something similar? Does it turn on a light bulb in your head?
Macari derives form the Greek adjective macarios (μακάριος) meaning blissful.
All the east Sicily have greek roots they are 100% Greeks from Magna grecia
Just a note on the 1st topic "koros"(κόρος)- "kouros"(κούρος) is the male form of ancient AND modern Greek for female "kori"(κόρη), which actually is "girl" in English. Just to make things more interesting in complication, in modern Greek it's common to refer girls in neutral form "koritsi"(κορίτσι). Noteworthy in modern Greek the word for boy is only in neutral form: "agori"(αγόρι). Please feel free to comment on that. Thank you.
Two lovely women, I thank you both. I'm an Italian American living in the UK, It's so interesting learning how languages intertwine with one another ...
Italy is a Greek colony, so it makes sense that they have many similarities
And the people are much nicer, and have a great sense of humor.
Also we are the same peoples because Italians are from Etruscans who was Greek tribes from Troji.

One of the best episodes ❤
I like both the Greek and Italian language.
We use Κορη = Kori in Greek to this day which is the female form of Koros = Kouros, in the ancient. And in parts of Greece, like Crete we use Kopelli for young boys which has the same meaning. Lassa= Laskere.
Beautiful!!!!😍😍😍😍😍 Love from Rome, Italy!!! 🇮🇹 (my Name is Dafne too...😁)
I am Basilicata, and we have a lot of similar words like Siciliano and Calabrese... Definitely more similar to Griko than to Mangiapolent/Franco.
Edit: I meant to write "Greek accent", not "Griko"... (the other words is what we call northern Italian dialect/people... In American it means maybe like, "Corn-fed Frenchies"?... It's ok, I like to eat polenta too, no hate. ❤️)
The Griko language is unique!❤. It has many ancient greek words. Keep it . With love from Greece ❤
E strano pero oggi in Grecia si dice ''spiti'' per dire casa, che proviene dal latino ''Hospitium''. Per dire la porta noi diciamo ''porta'' come in Italiano.
@@Chloe-hu9tf you're right, it is, but I meant to write "Greek", not "Griko" (spelling error, 🥴)... I meant to say; "I can understand a Greek person speaking Italian more easily than I can, let's say, a "Genovese" or "Swiss-Italian"... But yes, you are correct about "Griko"; it is very unique, and only found in 2 or 3 places in southern Italy; I think maybe less than 500 people left who can speak it ... I've lived in America almost my entire life, so my Italian is really bad because everyone around who spoke it is dead by now, so after years, I've got it all confused with Spanish, and now I am a linguistic mess... I can't speak ANYTHING 100% correctly! 🤣
@@VasileiosNikolaidis SÌ! 😆... Usiamo parole diverse per alcune cose correlate, come dici tu, "porta" e , sono la stessa cosa, ma "casa" e , diverso... "melanzane" e , molto vicini allo stesso, ma "zucchine" e ? 🤔🤌
In French or English you don't make any sense. 😅
They are both nice.
The word for clock is actually ωρολόγιον (pronounced as oroloyion) and its simplified modern form is ρολόι . The etymology of word ωρολόγιον is from the word ώρα (that has given the english word hour) and the suffix -λόγιον that denotes a machinery/apparatus to depict the first part of the word
Examples
ανεμολόγιον , ανεμος -> wind , the apparatus to show the winds
ημερολόγιον , ημέρα is day , so ημερολόγιον shows the days, it is the calendar.
Great video! Athina is so cute!
Lassa could be linked to the greek "λάσκα": "Αφήνω λάσκα", which means "I let go" or "I give space", we use it in situations like while flying a kite, when fishing or when you secure a boat in the port, where you let the rope to unravel. "Άσε λίγο λάσκα το σχοινί".
carusu is probably not related to koros, but rather from the Latin adjective carus.
Oh that's interesting. What does it mean?
@@Goldenskies__ carus means 'dear'
This is correct.
@@Philoglossos thank you
@@Philoglossos and from that latin word is the english word "caress" maybe? Edit : yes the english caress is from there, I checked it online.
In french there are many words like that (fantôme=ghost; colle=glue; cerise=cherry…).
The cecilia island is more close to Cyprus island! In both islands we use many ancient Greek words!
Many similarities between Sicilianu and Greek language. Also I would say that Sicilianu is more similar to Espanol than to Italiano. Grazie pi lu video, Salutamu!
Sicilian definitely has borrowed words from other languages like Greek, Arabic, Spanish, and French.
not many similarity, stop exaggerating

Sicilians born in other countries and have a Sicilian background don’t understand their Greek roots and I meet them and tell them Greeks and southern Italians are related and they laugh at my face. Why do I love southern Italy so much that I never been to that part of the world. My parents are Greek and I’m born in Australia and I feel love for a country I haven’t been too. I feel drawn to Calabrian people allot as well.. I vibe with them here in Australia. I been to Greece a few times.
Η λέξη κόρος υπάρχει και στα νέα Ελληνικά αλλά με διαφορετική εντελώς ερμηνεία. Συγκεκριμένα πρόκειται για ναυτικό όρο που χρησιμοποιείται ως μονάδα μέτρησης χωρητικότητας πλοίων. 1 Κόρος = 2,83 κυβικά μέτρα (ή 100 κυβικά πόδια). Στα αγγλικά μεταφράζεται ως tonnage.

Actually the word Κòros in the form of Κούρος (Kùros) is used to define statues of young vigorous adolescens and has exactly the meaning of Sicilian Carusu. But its still used the female type of Kòros the Κόρη pronounced kòree in modern greek meaning young girl sometimes with the meaning of daughter
Many of the Sicilian words look like Byzantine Greek and not Ancient Greek. It’s not weird as Sicily was part of the Byzantine world first some centuries.

The girl on the left looks even more classically Greek than the right. The girl on the right definitely has some Turk and Slav mixed in there due to Slavic invasions and 500 yrs Ottoman occupation.
The Sicilian's girl name "Gaia", the Greek word for "Earth" but pronounced slightly different, like the American "Yeah". But Gaia in Cosmogony symbolizes the material side of the Cosmos, unlike the Earth. Gaia, Eros and Chaos pre-existed the creation. Came out of the Cosmical Egg which in turn came out of nothing or Nyx (Night). The Chaos symbolizes the space of the Cosmos and the Eros (love), the moving force which unites, mutates and ultimately, transforms the "Pan" (The "everything", the SymPan/The Cosmos/The Universe we see). The Greek's girl name, Athina... Well, both girls couldn't have more Greek names. Well done! I love pre-Christian names. Two of my Greek ex-girls were named "Artemis" and "Daphne".
Sicily once belonged to a group of Greek colonies known as Magna Graecia, the Roman name given to these coastal regions along the South of Italy.

Founded by Greek colonists of Magna Graecia in the 8th century BC, Messina was originally called Zancle (Greek: Ζάγκλη), from the Greek ζάγκλον meaning "scythe" because of the shape of its natural harbour (though a legend attributes the name to King Zanclus). A comune of its Metropolitan City, located at the southern entrance of the Strait of Messina, is to this day called 'Scaletta Zanclea'. Solinus wrote that the city of Metauros was established by people from Zancle.[9]
In the early 5th century BC Anaxilas of Rhegium renamed it Messene (Μεσσήνη) in honour of the Greek city Messene (See also List of traditional Greek place names). Later, Micythus was the ruler of Rhegium and Zancle, and he also founded the city of Pyxus.[10] The city was sacked in 397 BC by the Carthaginians and then reconquered by Dionysius I of Syracuse.

In 288 BC the Mamertines seized the city by treachery, killing all the men and taking the women as their wives. The city became a base from which they ravaged the countryside, leading to a conflict with the expanding regional empire of Syracuse. Hiero II, tyrant of Syracuse, defeated the Mamertines near Mylae on the Longanus River and besieged Messina. Carthage assisted the Mamertines because of a long-standing conflict with Syracuse over dominance in Sicily. When Hiero attacked a second time in 264 BC, the Mamertines petitioned the Roman Republic for an alliance, hoping for more reliable protection. Although initially reluctant to assist lest it encourage other mercenary groups to mutiny, Rome was unwilling to see Carthaginian power spread further over Sicily and encroach on Italy. Rome, therefore, entered into an alliance with the Mamertines. In 264 BC, Roman troops were deployed to Sicily, the first time a Roman army acted outside the Italian Peninsula. At the end of the First Punic War it was a free city allied with Rome. In Roman times Messina, then known as Messana, had an important pharos (lighthouse). Messana was the base of Sextus Pompeius, during his war against Octavian.[citation needed]
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire the city was successively ruled by Goths from 476, then by the Byzantine Empire in 535, by the Arabs in 842, and in 1061 by the Norman brothers Robert Guiscard and Roger Guiscard (later count Roger I of Sicily). In 1189 the English King Richard I ("The Lionheart") stopped at Messina en route to the Holy Land for the Third Crusade and briefly occupied the city after a dispute over the dowry of his sister, who had been married to William the Good, King of Sicily. In 1345 Orlando d'Aragona, the illegitimate son of Frederick II of Sicily was the strategos of Messina.[citation needed]
In 1347 Messina was one of the first points of entry for the black death into Western Europe. Genoese galleys travelling from the infected city of Kaffa carried plague into the Messina ports. Kaffa had been infected via Asian trade routes and the siege of Kaffa from infected Mongol armies led by Janibeg; it was a departure point for many Italian merchants who fled the city to Sicily. Contemporary accounts from Messina tell of the arrival of "Death Ships" from the East, which floated to shore with all the passengers on board already dead or dying of plague. Plague-infected rats probably also came aboard these ships. The black death ravaged Messina and rapidly spread northward into mainland Italy from Sicily in the following few months.[citation needed]

In Italiano si dice 'magari' per dire 'spero che'. In Italiano si dice 'macheroni' per dire pasta da manggiare. Pero non si sa che tutte e due parole provengono dal Greco. Per esempio '' Οι Μακαρες Θεοι'' = 'I Makares Thei. Che significa '' I beati Dei''
Macari in siciliano però significa "Anche/pure" , Gaia si è dimenticata di specificarlo. Esempio: Veni macari iddu= Viene anche lui.

Makari is I think deriving from Homeric times. In the Iliad there is a reference mentioning that the righteous warriors were not going to the Elysian fields like ordinary people but to the Island of the Makari. Something like Valhalla i suppose.

The theory that modern Albanians are direct descendants of ancient Illyrians has been debunked by genetic studies. According to a study published in the journal "European Journal of Human Genetics" in 2012, modern Albanians have significant genetic input from populations outside the Balkans, particularly from Slavic and Greek populations.

Albanian
Ancient Illyrian people were related to us, the current Albanian people, especially the Muslim groups, have been imported into Illyrian territories by the Ottoman sultans to break down the unity of christian populations, who were the Illyrian roman catholics and the byzantine orthodox Greeks . Under communism, some communities merged, but most retain their ethnic groups. The Muslims originated somewhere in central Asia, near the Alban river, and were imported as settlers by the current sultan ruling at that time. Illyrian people still look very northern European, Greeks living in Albania descending from the Byzantines look very Greek, and then there are the mixed people who have a little Illyrian, a little Greek, a lot of Asian excetera....
Nobody gives a flying fuark about Albania ,Albanians are the most insecure people in the world with deep inferiority complex

My maternal side is Italian, American grandmother was born in Sicily my grandfather’s grandparents were the Naples region before they moved to New York! They were very proud of their Italian origins. I did my DNA and I had up to 10 to 12 from the Greek region! So my grandmother might have up to 30%. But it was also interesting. They had northern Italian overlapping with south eastern French. Besides Central and southern Italian! I think my grandmother’s connections could be Himera because my grandmother was born a few miles south west of there! My father side is Irish. So very typical New York, and New Jersey or the northeast of the USA.
