How do you say "Greek" in Greek?

[ChaosLord]

HELP!
How do you say "Greek" in Greek?

Thank you :)

[KennyR]

For Greek as in the language, I think it's said "Ellinika". In Greek lettering, its Åëëçíéêüò or something. Better a real Greek answers.

[Van_M]

If you want to say, a greek male person, you say "Elinas" with a stress on the E word. If you want to say, a greek female person, you say "Elinida" with a stress on the midle I. If you are talking about something neutral, you say "Eliniko", with a stress on the O.

[Animagic]

Greek person male: Ellinas ( Έλληνας)
Greek person female : Ellinida ( Ελληνίδα)
Greek language: Ellinika (Ελληνικά)
Greek item: Elliniko (Ελληνικό)
Greek idiot: Vlakas (Βλάκας) - That's me...
Greek Amigan: Amigas (Αμιγκάς)
Greece in Greek: Ellada or Hellas (Ελλάδα ή Ελλάς)

:-D

Just wondering.....do you have all those greek chars on the keyboard too? :-D

[Animagic]

Yes, I have a greek keyboard.
The characters you see on the post, are not the greek characters. You'll need greek fonts to see the text. :-D

[Glaucus]

Hey, don't forget: Mangas! :-D

So tell me, how do you type in those Greek letters? I can see those letters, but I'm not sure what I need to do to type them. Oh yeah, I'm using WinXP.

Read (http://www.mfa.gr/english/greece/living/read_greek/index.html) and listen (http://www.mfa.gr/english/greece/living/listen_greek/index.html) to the Greek language (http://www.mfa.gr/english/greece/living/read_greek/language.html), one of the oldest linguistic traditions of the world.

P.S. In order to read what is written above, just set the codepage to 8859-7. ;-)

@Odin, yes, those are Greek.

In windows I just use Alt+Shift to change the keymap. To do this you must have greek keymap installed and the greek language as the 2nd language.

In amiga i use Alt+Space (I like the combination and set it on the Fkey commodity :-) )

[mantisspider]

when i was a kid i learnt how to read greek by looking at a greek keyboard and reading shop signs.

Just wondering, why do u want to know ChaosLord?

[Animagic]

I assume that he wants to add the Greek Translation link in Total Chaos.

Just wondering, why do u want to know ChaosLord?

My Team is producing the World's Best Strategy Game (http://xavprods.free.fr/chaos/index.html)
In order to be the best, the game must be playable in Greek because:
1. Greek Amiga Community is very resilient and deserves it.
2. Greece is the home of many Legendary Heroes such as Hercules, Animagic and Xena: Warrior Princess :-D
3. Greek fonts look way cool
4. The game is partly based on Greek Mythokogy.

A very big Thank You to everyone for theGreek help. :-)

>Greek
1. What is the relation between Jesus, Fish, and
Greek language?
2. What is the meaning of Malaka (a city in
Malaysia) in Greek? (see other thread)
3. Why Math & Phsyic formula always use Greek
notation: Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma, Tau, Pi?
4. Is Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Ray related to Greek?
5. What is the difference between Geek and Greek?
6. Is there any "That's sound Greek to me" in
Greece? :-)

[Glaucus]

Δοκιμαζω τα ελληνικα στο IE6. Η ορθογραφια μου δεν ειναι πολυ καλη, αλλα ξερω να διαβαζω και να μειλαω απλα Ελληνικα. Την οξεια πωσ την γραφετε???

- Μιχαλησ (How do you write the 's' that's supposed to go at the end of the word (without switching to english like I did)? The 'σ' there is obviously wrong)

[Glaucus]

6. Is there any "That's sound Greek to me" in"γυφτικα", I mean, "giftika". :-) When my family visited Greece a decade or so ago, my grandmother would hear my sister and I speaking English and she'd call us her little gypsies! I think that's the closest to "it's all greek to me" that you'll find in Greece. :-)

Answers:
1. Ask Jesus
2. Malakas in Greek is the man that plays with his d##k. Also used to describe sobebody who is an a##hole
3. Because Greeks discovered all this.
4. I honestly have no idea! Ask NASA.
5. Can't fint the word "geek" in any of my translation books.
6. Already answered in an older thread, it is: "It's all Chinese to me."

Η οξεία δεν χρησιμοποιείται πια, μόνο ο τόνος. Για να γράψεις ένα γράμμα με τόνο: πατάς πρώτα το κουμπί με το σύμβολο ":" σε κανονικό win keyboard, και μετά το γράμμα που θές. Για το τελικό "ς" χρησιμοποίησε το γράμμα w στο πληκτρολόγιο.

Πολλούς χαιρετισμούς. :-)

Hello
1. Fish: See:
ICHTHYS (http://arsmar.com/ce-at.htm)

2. Ass*
There is a famous leader of leftist guerilla
in South East Asia who was killed after communist
rebellion in 1948 (similar to Che Guevara):
Tan Malaka.
During Japanese occupation, he is their main
target. I guess he hide in Greece :-)
4. Ray: Alpha and Beta particles are not
dangerous, if you wear clothes, but Gamma particle
will kill you.
