2. The history of Greek Language: The history of the
Greek language spends in number than 3,000 years and is one of the oldest continuously
speaking languages we have right now in the world. Here is a brief overview of the history of
the Greek language. But optokinetic, we
will start with Greg. That is the first version
of the Greek language. We can detect through history, which is believed that it melts around 3,000 before Christ. It was spoken by the
McKinney and that is the most significant
civilization around this period, one of the earliest
Greek civilizations. Next week up the ancient Greek. The Greek, that they be used between the ninth century
before Christ until the fifth century before
Christ is the Greek that everyone knows as the
Greek of the theatre, the Greek philosophy, the Greek that influenced
the Western civilization. This period is divided
between three main dialects, aortic, Doric, and Ionic. Next we have Keeney Greek, that is the critique
that we refer during the period of
the Hellenistic period. So the years of the Great
Alexander and the Roman period. And is from the first
century before Christ until the fourth
century after Christ. It was the common language of
the Eastern Mediterranean. And it was also very well-known as the language
of the Old Testament. And it was also appeared
in many religious texts. Next, without medieval thick, that it was spoken
between the first century after Christ and did the
15th century after Christ. During this period, we have the biggest change into
the Greek language. So we have finally the
influence of other languages into the Greek language,
especially from Latin. And finally, we have
the modern Greek. The Greek that are spoken after the 15th century
until nowadays, the modern Greek have been
influenced a lot by techies, Italian, French, and English. Nowadays, more than great
is the official language, obviously in Greece, but also
in the Republic of Cyprus. And there is an estimation
that around 20 million people nowadays speak or
understand more than Greek. That was a brief analysis into the deep history
of the Greek language. And as always, thank
you for watching
3. Why there are so many Greek words in English?: Now we will attempt to answer
a very difficult question. Why there are so
many Greek words inside the English language. Through the history,
the Greek language had a significant impact on Western culture and
especially into the fields of philosophy,
literature, and science. It had also play
a crucial role in the development of what
we call modern world, serving as a basis that
they used even nowadays. So now, let's go to
see some religions. Why there is such
a big spread of Greek words into the
English language. We will start with the most obvious of all the
historic and influence. The MCM Greeks played
a major role into the creation of what we consider nowadays classic values, e.g. they create the first
form of democracy. They develop their yards
of theatre and drama. And also they contribute
significantly into the development of
philosophy in general. Their ideas, ideas, and also theories have an
everlasting impact, even as I said before nowadays. So we'd have asset result. Many Greek words to pass from the Greek culture
and the Greek period, as we mentioned in
the chapter above, into the Latin one. From the Latin, eventually, the Greek words make
their way into in the English language as a
physical evolution of things. Furthermore, we have the scientific and
technical terminology. Many scientific fields and many technical fields actually developed for the very first
time during that period. E.g. the word biology,
geography, psychology, physics, chemistry, and
many more that we are going to see later all came
from the Greek language. This is because the Greeks
of the period makes significant discoveries
for the very first time. And actually that a cord, these discoveries to warn them. In many fields, this
still use the terms, probably the most
famous field where the Greek words have replaced the English plants is
the medical field. Greek words are
very common, e.g. say cardiology instead of
the study of the heart. And we say nephrology
of model G. Instead of the study of the ice, we use the Greek
words as an honor to the advance study of medicine
and anatomy of the video. And as one of the first people, as I mentioned above, that they write down
their discoveries. One other reason that many
Greek words have passed into the English language
is something that not many people are paying attention and is the
Greek mythology. Greek mythology
has an everlasting influenced into the
Western culture and many of the
myths and legends, even the gods, became
part of what we call nowadays Western
culture, e.g. in English, we use the word
narcissistic that came from the legend of
necrosis and also e.g. in English, we use the word Herculean that games
from Hercules. That is also a very
important figure of the Greek mythology
over on the influence of the Greek language and
culture on Western culture and civilization has
vast and everlasting, which is why there are so many Greek words into
the English language. Now, we are going to see 100 words that you
use almost every day. And you didn't know that they came from the Greek language. So now let's go to
discover all these words. And as always, thank
you for watching
4. Words 1-25: Hello. Now we are going to see
the first 25 of the words. We are going to separate these 100 words
that we're going to take together into
four sections of 25, because I don't want to have a gigantic video with 100 words. So we're going to start
with the word acropolis. Literally in Greek means
in the side of the city. And in English,
more or less means a fortified hilltop or sit at. The next word, we're going to check is the word democracy. That the needless means a system of government
by the people. And in Greek literally means
the most and galactose, so the governance of the people. The next word we're going to check is the word philosophy. In English is the study of the fundamental questions
about the existence, knowledge, values, and vision. In Greek, philosophy means
the study of wisdom. And obviously in modern Greek, mean exactly the
same with English. In all our cases. The translation is the same
and give you what it means in the ancient Greek word means in English
and in modern grid. The next word we're going
to take is about theatre. A building or an outdoor
of a dramatic performance. The Nansen Greek mean
exactly the same. It was a place of performance. It came from the world. I see. And it has exactly the same
meaning in modern Greek. The next board we're going to
take is the word mythology. That in ancient Greek is
the study of the mythos. In English and modern
Greek nowadays means a collection of traditional
stories or legends. The next word we're going
to check is the word drama. Drama means a story
or a performance that includes mainly conflict
and a lot of emotions. It means exactly the same in
English, in modern Greek. And enhancing Shindig
chronology is the next word. We're going to take
that in English means. But some things, some invent
in the correct order. As for the time that happened. In ancient Greek, chronology
means the study of time. And in modern Greek
means exactly the same with the English. It means putting things in the correct order as for the time that
these things happened. The next one is Olympics. Olympics is one of these cases that it
came from the place. It doesn't have any meaning. It has nothing to do
with the Olympian gods. Olympia was a place
in Peloponnese. So the Olympic games took
the name from this region, but a punishers is in the
south of Greece Peninsula. And it means exactly the
same in ancient Greek, modern Greek, and English. Olympics are supposed
to be the games that took place in
this area, Olympia. The next word we're
going to take this gymnasium from that word, also came the word gymnastics. It is a building
on an area where you perform physical exercises. It means the same in English, whether you use the
mean in ancient Greek, in modern Greek,
given Astrium is the three first classes
of high-school. Academy in ancient Greek
used to mean a school or a place where intellect people were
trading that knowledge. It has exactly the
same meaning in English and exactly the same
meaning in modern Greek. Every cat is our next word. According to the
legend of the period, it was the word that is used to sell out every time he was discovering something. Literally nowadays have
exactly the same meaning. Means I did a discovery in ancient Greek and in modern
Greek means I found it. I guess DVR, a fan
of Marvel movies. You are going to know the world. He dropped. It is a mythical
creature with many heads. Usually, when you cut one of
this head, it creates two. So we use it metaphorically nowadays in English
and in modern Greek. And usually we refer to a problem that we
cannot solve it because every time we
find the solution, this problem creates
two more subproblems. Marathon Is like the Olympics
is actually a radian. Is not referring to a world
with a meaning or something. Marathon location a little
bit outside of Athens. And in modern Greek, ancient Greek and in
English means exactly the same, means long run. Nowadays, we estimate
that the this R1 is 42 km is the distance between this area of Marathon
and the center of Athens. That's why all the marathons in the world afford to kilometers. According to the history. The PDS, the first guy who actually ran
this area in order to inform the Athenians about the outcome of
the Battle of Marathon. First hidden to Sparta, that is more than 300 km. Then he ran back to Athens to say to the Athenians that the
Spartans a diffuser help. And then he went
back to Marathon. She fought in the battle. And then from Marathon he ran back to Athens
where he died from exertion is not 100%
historically accurate. We know that he
ran for sure from Marathon to Athens for
the Duke kilometers. We're not quite sure if
he did like 600 km and more in 48 h. The next word we're going
to check is metropolis. Here we have the
word pollicis again. Also we saw that the
necropolis, our first word, means a major city, means literally the same in
modern Greek and in English, and also in the ancient Greek. The next word we're going
to see and also we use it in the chapter above as an example is the
word narcissism. It came from Nike. Source is a mythical figure in history about self
esteem and self lab. And obsession with our image. In ancient Greek was actually the name of a flower
or so nowadays, Nike source is the
name of daffodil, and it has the same meaning
in English and in Greek. And nowadays, narcissism means excessive
self-love or vanity. The next word, we're going
to check its ostracize means exactly the same
in English, modem vague. And in ancient Greek. The NCN that things
after they have elections and after they have public discussions because as we said, they have democracy. They used to give the
cells of seafood that they had to the person that disagree with me and
make it a bit more clear. Imagine that the seven propose, again military campaign,
again another region. And the majority of the people disagree
with this opinion. Everyone, as we do
nowadays with a vote, they will have a
piece of a cell in their hands and they will give it to the guy that
they disagree with. And if someone was collecting
the majority of the cells, they use to ostracize
him in sometimes, literally, it mean exactly, it means exactly the
same in all three. In English, more than
Greek and ancient Greek. The next word we're
going to take is Python. Award. That nowadays in English means equality that evokes
PT or sadness. Bar from the word buffers, we have the word passion. It means exactly the
same in modern Greek. And it was exactly the
same huge indention week. The next word we're going to check is the word philosopher, means the person who is studying the philosophy
as we take a bulb. It means exactly the same in
English and in modern Greek. In ancient Greek, philosopher literally
means friend of wisdom. And Sophia, philosopher. So it was the person who
was searching for wisdom. Rhetoric is our next word. We're going to
check. It literally means the art of writing, right? So the add of effective
speaking and writing, it has exactly the same
meaning in more than Greek, ends in Greek and in English. The next word we're going to
check is the word strategy. It is the plan that someone has to achieve a specific goal. It has exactly the same
meaning in English, in modern Greek and
enhancing league. Our next word, psych, or Greek, literally
means exactly the same. It means the human soul, or sometimes we use
it as the human mind It is, as I said, use the exactly the
same in English, more than great anencephalic. Our next word that
we're going to check is the word siren. That a mythical creature. It used to be the
creature that lowers people with their magical songs. It used to live in the sea. We can see these creatures in many myths and legends and
many texts in more than Greg, we can use it metaphorically as something that
can learn something. And also we can literally
use it as the word alarm. In English. We use it as something
that trying to load you. So something that may falsely try to make you
engage with it, falsey. And it has exactly the same
meaning in ancient Greek, they used to use it metaphorically as
something that try to load you with not always
the best of intentions. The next word we're going
to check is biology. The study of the living things comes from the
combination of beers. Another z that Morales
in ancient Greek, means the study of life, has exactly the same meaning in more than Greek
and ancient Greek. Our next word, we're
going to check is the word mathematics. That more or less means the combination of the actions that numbers can do together. That can be from a
simple calculation, one plus one equals
two, to a very, very complex, a
congestion that can define if the universe
is expanding or not. It has the same meaning
in modern Greek, ends in Greek and
also in English. And the last one of
the first 25 words that we're checking is
the word anthropology. That means the
study of the human. This is an interesting term because they don't use this
word in ancient Greek. It is an ancient Greek world. As I said, means the
study of the human. But back then they didn't. We haven't find this
word written somewhere. So is this a more than
a Greek word that we created in ancient
Greek in order to describe the science
that we create nowadays. Anthropology series and science, but recreated by
using ends in words, means exactly the same in
English and in more than word. I'm sure it wouldn't be the
same in ancient Greeks, but we didn't have this idea of butter apologies
in ancient Greece. Those are the first 25 of the words that
we use in English, and they came from grid. Now, we are going to see in
the next three chapters, the next 75 words. And as always, thank

where in modern Greek, With took an inset word, we transform it in something. So we give a purpose
