I don't know how to conjugate rly hard verbs. Like what's the past tense of surprise (in Greek) or even present? Cannot do it!
-
ειμαι Εκπληκτος, Έχω εκπλαγεί I cheated. I literally do not know how to say that without looking it up!

HAHA. Joking :) WOW. It is different. I can get Μηχάνημα, Ίντερνετ, and Σόρι α (the last 2 being English). The rest, no idea :)

HAHA. This is incomprehensible. Do you still have all these intonation symbols? They used to exist in Anc Gr but not used now
-
no, they were stopped in Gr/Cy at of rule of the Generals in the 1970s though, so VERY recently. When Demotic won over Koine.
-
I see now. It is like καθαρεύουσα that used to be used in Gr but was repealed also around that time. Thought was still used in Cyp
-
No, we're talking about the same thing. Katharevousa VS Demotic created Koine (aka Modern Greek). I wasn't speaking about Cyp.
-
100% mistyped when I said Demotic won over Koine.
-
Koine won over BOTH Demotic and Katharevousa.
