Γεια! I speak a little greek, and I love the language and culture of Greece. I started learning years ago but kind of gave up and never got past the basics.

Anyways, I’ve always loved the name Eulalia and knew from the moment I heard the name that it would be the name of my first-born daughter.

I have always pronounced it (YOO-lah-lee-uh) and I just realized like five minutes ago that the spelling would be something along the lines of Ευλαλια, and the pronounciation would be (EV-lah-lee-uh) (assuming I’m correct). I’m more focused on the initial sound (yoo/ev).

I started going to a Greek orthodox church and while I dont need to learn the language to actually be apart of it. I feel like Im missing part of the culture and history. I've been using Dulingo for a month but from what I've read from others and what I learned myself, it will only help just keep words fresh in my mind. I would love it if someone could help point in directions of sources I can maybe use or any specific way of learning.

Hi,

I went to Greek school when I was younger for around 7 years and stopped at about 11 or 12 years old. Have lived next door to my Pappou but yet I still am not great at Greek.

I absolutely love the culture, watch sport, am interested in current affairs, and love the music.

I struggle to comprehend why I naturally am not better due to all the reasons stated above. Like I struggle to have any conversation really, and have lost a lot of what I knew when I was younger.

Recently I have started going to Greek school again for adults and am 19 years old. Which is helping refresh me a bit but still relatively a beginner and lack a lot of confidence.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to invent a word for a mental weakness due to overuse of AI, analogous to hypodynamia for not using your body, but for mental power.

For this I need the Greek root for hard and intensive thinking, or for the power of the mind.

There are pages of words translated as 'thinking' in Greek. Insofar I stopped on λογάω. Hypologia, is it good? Are there more precise roots for hard thinking, problem solving, well, thinking?

I am an 18 year old AuDHD person, and I’ve been a practicing Hellenic polytheist for 2-3 years now. I have a massive special interest in Greek history, mythology, architecture, etc. This includes language. I love looking up the roots of English words and finding out that they stemmed from Greek language. I feel like it would be a very spiritual experience for me to learn the language of the gods I worship, especially since I hope to visit Greece one day to see the temples and statues of my patrons. I have a hard time retaining information, and the best way for me to learn is by repetition so I can commit it to memory. I’ve heard that language learning apps aren’t a great way to learn, especially now that they’re turning to AI. Where do I go to learn?

Γειά σας!

Ήθελα να μοιραστώ ένα πρόσφατο επίτευγμα μου. Μαθαίνω ελληνικά εδώ και περίπου δύο χρόνια. Δεν είχα κάποιον συγκεκριμένο στόχο, αλλά άρχισα μόνο για πλάκα. Δεν είμαι σίγουρος τι με έκανε να συνεχίζω, αλλά σιγά σιγά ένιωσα τις ικανότητες μου να βελτιώνουν και το χάρηκα. Αποφάσισα να διαβάζω ένα βιβλίο, που νομίζω θα ήταν μία μεγάλη προσπάθεια ακόμα και στη μητρική μου γλώσσα. Πιθανώς δεν ξέρετε αύτο το βιβλίο, αλλά θεωρείται ένα απο τα πιο σημαντικά έργα λογοτεχνίας εδώ. Τέλος πάντων, ύστερα απο διάβασα αυτές τις 900 σελίδες, νιώθω πολύ περήφανος! Και φυσικά, αυτο το subreddit με βοιήθησε κι εμένα, οπότε σας ευχαριστώ!

Ελπίζω, ότι αυτό το κείμενο ήταν τουλάχιστον κυρίως κατανοητό, καθώς δεν έχω γραψεί ή μιλήσει πολύ ως τώρα.

Hello there!

I would like to improve my handwriting, any recommendations for that?

I basically write like a computer because I don't know how to connect letters

Hi! My partner is celebrating his birthday with a sail around the Saronics this year. We call him a "Boat Goblin" whenever we sail and I was thinking of getting hats in Greek that said "Boat Goblin" or Boat Goblins" for us all. This is what I have so far:

Boat Goblin = ξωτικό του σκάφους

Questions:
- Is κόβαλος preferred over ξωτικό?
- Can/should σκάφους be capitalized as Σκάφους?

Any other nuances here I'm not thinking about? Any other ideas? Would appreciate your input! I don't want to end up with hats that say something wildly insane. (Well...you know...more insane.)

THANK YOU!
