How Greek is the German language

Hello, friends and fellow learners, of Easy Greek. I am Dimitris, and we are in Athens. I smoke. Not much, but I do smoke. I smoke eight cigarettes a day. My favorite myth is that I smoke. Yes, thank you for being here, because we want to make a video today the level affected by the Greek language in German Many people do not know that the German language It is very significant from the Greek perspective, from the old Greek And thank you so much for being here and helping us Understand a little better Where do all these words come from? in German Dimitris, we'll start with a small level. What fascinated me the most When I visited this topic, It's that I knew there were Greek words in German, but I didn't know how many there were And at what level? I mean, how large is this level? Why are there so few words that went in German from the old Greek Yet, there are also words that went in German from Latin And something I hadn't quite realized It is that there are many Greek prefixes and you'll find them, where they exist in German and because there are many words and you become a sophist, neologisms, in the German language, really There are few Greek and few German ones. We will see these now and show them to you How high is the level? from Greek into German. Our first topic is, for example, Greek prefixes There are over 50 Greek prefixes, which still exist in the German language today And new words are formed using these prefixes. And there are all these little extras Even in modern Greek? Yes, certainly. Small means small. Long means short. Big means big. New means new. "Bio" means life. This comes from the saying himself, himself. And eco- comes from oikos- Oikos means house. A nickname that interests me It is, for example, the big prefix. What does this mean in the Greek language? Big means big. And in the German language, there are many words created with this prefix and also many modern words of the new language, such as, for example, Big, big means big. Can you tell me something new, something huge, incredibly good And I say big. This reason still exists today. Is this a nice speech in the German language? Or just a huge deal? It's a huge deal. OK, well, we now have will follow the prefix and the suffix and we have seen that there is tremendous visibility in German Now let's look at some word. Let me just read it through first, Dimitri. Well, you always have it at the end A vocal backing. A, this is impressive. Can you observe it carefully in the German language. Yes, there is a big difference between the German language and the German language. These things are very powerful. OK, anarchism. Revelation. This speech means in the German language literally, how is it called literally? This speech means literally. Revelation. This speech is impressive. This means Chemistry. Surgery Chronology. Democracy. Please, this means democracy in the German language. Yes, democracy. Dialect. Diaspora. Dinosaurs. Diskothek This speech is not Greek. It's not exactly that. This is a neologism. These words are delicious. It's for new ideas the new appearances where, yes, Greece around the world They didn't have a record collection. No. They had a banquet. They didn't have a record collection. They didn't have photographs or phones but all were Greek words. The Frantzosios They were impressed. This is impressive. Moreover, a phone is such a reason. Where is this phone coming from? It's two words. The first one is a TV. I mean, far away. And voice. It comes from the word of voice and it means "stema." Voice. But there are Greek words used in other European languages. Yes, exactly. The Frantzos family spoke Greek. And from this, they made a new speech. and the Germans and the English And others did too. In this case, it wasn't the Frantzos family. I think it was the Americans. The phone is an American appearance. It was fashionable in the 19th century. When they had new appearances, They used the English words Why were they significant? That's great, really. And today we use and the English words. That is, we create new words from which we believe that it is English and excellent such as the telephone, for example. We call it the telephone, the telephone. But that name does not exist in English. Yes, I know. Yes, we see many mathematical terms. All these mathematical words There were in Germany And the names existed in many languages. All the mathematical words from nothingness, psychology, social mathematics, the politics, all of these They were from Germany, weren't they? Yes, just like that Songs, theater, music and things like that. All the important things. All the important things in our lives They're coming from Germany, Dimitri. Many Greeks say this. and they are very proud For this, for this, For this, for this, for this. Yes, but I believe many times we believe We believe a little. Nice one, Dimitris, thank you where you came from in the video. I had a lot of interest. and I think the better you understand How many words They are influenced by German.
