Learning Greek Verb Endings Song

- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- 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.
I have had nightmares about greek verbs. It's awesome how you managed to make them a little less scary.
Don't listen to those here who would belittle your work - it's awesome and you have done us all a service by creating this video and sharing it. There are so few resources on line for ancient Greek and this is one I find incredibly useful!
This video is a gift from God. Thank you so much for making it! *high five*
how awesome...
i teach modern greek & i think i'm going to have my students do this with modern greek verbs :-)
hahah this is awesome! the very fact that you brought a guitar into it and recorded it is great, now i need you to do an irregular verb song.
laughed so hard listening to this, and yet it so helpful. Wish it was in modern though
I think I love you. Thank you.
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
this is wonderful man! congratulations on the idea and realisation of it!
This song is why I passed Greek
Just like how the Greeks leaned it!
This is actually amazing. I think I might pass Greek now. 😂
To all the users that say his pronunciation is wrong, Κοινη Greek is probably one of the most debated languages when it comes to how it should sound. It should not be exactly like modern Greek (although it is probably more similar than the traditional pronunciation), nor should it sound like Ancient Greek. But either way, the way to read it has been forgotten. Let the man share this wonderful video in peace. He is not wrong in how he reads it, and neither are you.
Hi. Can we get a remix?!
This is the reason I might pass my midterm....
it hurts to listen how the words are pronounce wrong. but this is overall cool
Which ones are pronounced wrong, and what is the correct pronunciation?
This works for me. I particularly like the pluperfect. ευγε. καλως. αγαπω ταυτην την ωδην. ευχαριστω σοι.
@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.
very very helpful thank you
A great help!
finally I now Greek verbs!!!!!!!!! :D
YEAH - That's fukkin' GREAT! Big help for the Perfect Middle Passive, and 1st Aorist middle, both of which I somehow always found to be a bitch. Thanks for the tune!
great song!!
well done that's really good
@especialness attic greek has several pronunciation differences. and even those are often hotly debated. chill.
@tsavalos Seeing that you have traveled back in time and listened to Attic Greek having been spoken, can you please tell us all what Plato said Socrates said in the Apology, I think it was something along the lines of, " On the one hand (this man) believes that he knows something while not knowing anything, and on the other hand I do not believe that i know anything being equally ignorant". So tsavalos chill out and realize that we are all ignorant and are only confident in what we know.
so much help for my gcse ancient gk ...although the perfect mid/pass is a little frightening... god help me come a level..
thanks though! :)
brilliant!
nickman is right. If you pronounce it as you do (LOO-OH), then it means "to wash" and is written lambda-omikron-ypsilon-omega
great
Thanks alot bro, now I can pass tests in peace C:
Have you got the chords too?
Good song, but a lot of this is not read correctly (like the plu perfect)
Nice. :3
Need to retitle as Koine or Ancient. Otherwise AWESOME!!
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
simply put it in the site chordify. :D
Why do you pronounce 'υ' as if it's 'oo' like in the word "pool".
The actualy pronouncation is like the english 'e' for example as in the word "England"
So the word "ΛΕΛΥΚΑ - λελυκα" should be simply pronounced as "leleka" with the second 'e' being soft like in the word "England" and the first 'e' like a regular 'epsilo'
Horrible pronounciation. Too bad, it really ruins it.
Never delete this. It’s saving lives
How were the Ancient Greeks ever able to speak their own language without knowing this song?
Thanks for making this! that is one thing that has kicked my butt in Greek is those dang endings and tfs so thanks so much!
Thank you so much. This is really going to help with my exam coming up.
Great work, as my Master's is in Linguistics,,I love the energy and unique approach,,students learn 'despite their teacher' but this is cool!! Like it a lot!
@especialness why are you so angry? It is simply a song to help me remember the verb endings
I feel the need to mention in case that you are Greek that in other countries people when trying to learn ancient Greek they use the Erasmic or Erasmian accent not the Hellenistic which is the one that we use in Greek schools and in Greek universities.
this is my favourite video on youtube
padazakis, no, not pronunciation. I mean why is the letter "v" inserted in the modern Greek verb?
jesus, pluperfect active is SCARY, best bit is the end though, luu-oo-oh-ohh. :D
@TininSkywithDiamonds , IT'S NOT GREEK ,, IT'S ANCIENT GREEK....!
i'll fight anyone who says mean things to this person who is truly doing the lords work
I loved the creative variety, so much more than 1-4-5. Nice work!!
lol that was great!
Thank you thank you thank you!!
What a great way to remember the verbs once you know the rules! Thanks for doing this!
hahahahahahahahahahahahaahha
1:29
Great song
Can anyone explain what verbs is he singing
He's singing the same verb in all different indicative tenses. It means to free, loosen, or destroy, and sometimes to ransom.
Although i'm not sure if its the vest way for someone to lern ancient greek, I have to admit its one of the most creative aand enjoyable youtube videos. Haha
Can't stop listening to this! Thank you!
This is great! The accents are funny, but this song is really helpful in remembering most of the endings. The 2nd person (pl) for Perfect Midd/Active Indicative is throwing me off though. "LaLesthe" haha super funny. I need to turn this into an mp3 and listen to it while I drive.
Interesting!Is ther any evidence about the origin of the insertion of the ny in the modern Greek verb?
ahahhahahahahah wtf i'm greek and this is sooooo funny :p
megalos alitiz you realize this is for koine Greek? And not the modern Greek language??
this song is responsible for me smashing 1st semester greek at bible college - thanks so much!
Thank you - I have regained hope again. Love from Finland in 2022!
It's funny to see the difference between the greek pronounciation in different countries :P
this is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful song.... shout out from all the greek students studying for their midterm!
Ok, but the accents are wrong, I'm sorry .__.
But the song is beautiful! :)
@aggieclint Thanks for helping me get an A in my Grk I class in grad school.
Could you share the chords? I want to play this, it's awesome!
this is awesome!!!!
The best greek ending song ever. I have been using this for five years.
thats not a first aorist, thats a root aorist
you have a beautiful voice which has single handedly saved my a level
looooooooooooool
fratboys...
I believe you have just saved my entire class...
I am glad to know it is still being used! (Clint from a different account)
Yeah. Being a modern greek it is actually easier for me to learn.
ROCK ON!!!!
Pretty much the whole song is shot for moderns because "looo" in λυ shouldsound like "leee" but you have a great voice and guitar strum and we all need some tools to better learn our verbs. Keep up the great work!
Nice work but I would prefer to hear my language with the modern pronunciation.
