Lol nigger try being more complicated than Albanian then we can speak haha

You don't know how modern Greek works if you think that's realistic.

Italians can't even say "hello" in English, so I have my doubts about the quality of the Greek you were taught.

I don't think he made any remark as to the complexity of the language, just meme-ing.

To be fair that is bit redundant, the iota subscript wasn't pronounced by the time of Classical attic. So you would have a short "a", a long "a", an "a with rising tone, an "a" with a normal tone and an "a" with a perispomenon tone. It isn't THAT difficult to pronounce or learn.

ancient Greek == Finnish

Daily reminder to practice your ancient Greek pronounciation in order to sound as cool as this dude

Is ancient greek supposed to be spoken with a finnish accent?

Wat

that's what it sounds like to me.

Okay. Meme-ing aside, complexity is nothing to be proud of. Modern Greek is a hodgepodge of words and grammatical exceptions that only impede communication.

Cool, where do I start then?

I recently found out Finns can't really differentiate between s/sh either.
You are a Greek.

Shouldn't be much harder than keeping the English word "journal" and the French word "journal" separate in your mind. Also that guy sounds A LOT like a Finn I used to know.

Finnish and Greek still have some similarities, but that's because of the syllable structure that is similar.
To be fair Ancient Greek had more exceptions thatn rules as well especially in its verb system.
Start with the channel I gave you (he has uploaded a useful video that explains the syllable system here youtube.com/watch?v=BJfKqy3fUDQ) and then you can do the rest on your own since it ain't that hard to learn the pronounciation. Dudes wrote what they said. It isn't that hard and I don't like how it isn't taught in schools (at least they do say that it was pronounced differently).

In my ears Koine sounds way better. Ancient just sounds too gay.

>Ancient just sounds too gay.
Well, it fits then, doesn't it? :^)))

Reading up on homosexuality of those times really makes me think. It was ok to bugger someone but to be the one that was bugged was considered wrong, but then how did they even have gay sex without stigma? Someone must be lying about something.

What the...? Well, maybe dedicated sex slaves or something?

That pic with the ancient Finngolian empire wasn't a meme.
>I don't like how it isn't taught in schools
Because that's not the focus. You are trying to teach people how the language has evolved through the years while also teaching them syntax and grammar so they can understand it in its written form. Nobody is going to communicate verbally in ancient and spending time on that is a waste considering how much time teachers have for the curriculum they are given.

No they had relationships, maybe they just didn't fuck each other in the ass unless the other dude was a prostitute or s/th. Even Plato says that taking it up the bum wasn't that moral.

Read and translate ancient texts

This is why almost no one likes Ancient Greek though, they are teaching it like it's the same language without any explanation of the nuances that make it interesting. The modern greek class of ancient greek only makes you hate the language and is ultimately pointless. You graduate high school and can only parrot the knowledge.

Just be yourself

Maybe that's because a huge part of the K-12 curriculum is an actual waste of time.
