Hi greek brothers, how can I find the pronunciations of the greek words?
The online dictionaries just show the meaning. For example:
έρπων: reptile
But I cant pronounce. Is there anywebsite?
Pronouncing in Greek is easy, because it is very straightforward, there is only one way to pronounce each letter or combination of letters, and you put the accent where the accent is on the word. The sound of the letters is like in Italian or spanish, I mean E is not pronounced ee like in eel but like in "pet", i is pronounced like in "rid", a like in "bat". So here is the list:
A α = α (like in bat)
B β = v
Γ γ = soft g, a bit like the first sound at wow
Δ δ =th, as in this
Ε ε = e (as in pet)
Ζ ζ = z
Η η = i (like in bit)
Θ θ = th (as in theory)
Ι ι = i, as in bit
Κ κ = k
Λ λ = l (love)
Μ μ = m
Ν ν = n
Ξ ξ = x
Ο ο = o
Π π =p
Ρ ρ =r
Σ σ =s
Τ τ =t
Υ υ = i, as in bit, except when in a diphthongue, see below
Φ φ= f
Χ χ = h, as in who
Ψ ψ = ps
Ω ω = o
Diphthongues
ΑΙ αι = e
ΟΙ οι = i
ΕΙ ει =i
ΕΥ ευ =ef or ev
AY = af or av
ΟΥ ου = ou (like in the word room)
ΜΠ = b
ΝΤ = d
TZ = tz
ΤΣ = ts
ΓΚ = g (as in get)
ΓΓ = g (as in get)
Oh, αι , ει and οι must have the accent on the i to be pronounced as a diphthongue, otherwise, if the accent is on teh first letter, they are pronounced separately. Also if there are dialytika, like αϊ, that is pronounced as in the word mine.
