I already said to  Alex that I want to learn Greek. I think I'll start in 2-3 weeks  I've never seen such an amazing language next to Afrikaans  |

How do I say: "What do those áććéńt and underlines mean?" in Greek? It shows how you must pronounce the word and which letter to emphasize. Do you get me? |

It shows where the stress falls on a certain part of a word. Eg. καλησπέρα it's 4 syllables κα-λη-σπέ-ρα - the acute accent ´ on the letter έ (epsilon) indicates that the stress in this word falls on the 3rd syllable of the word on the letter έ. So instead of it being " kÁlispera" the word is pronounced "kalispÉra" Example of why they're imporant ... μήλο - can mean "apple" μιλώ - to speak/talk / eg μιλάτε ελληνικά? - do you speak Greek? (I hope this all makes sense) |
