typo

2020-03-11 15:41:37 UTC

2020-03-11 15:41:44 UTC  

yes

2020-03-11 15:42:01 UTC  

and ancient greek had tones

2020-03-11 15:42:01 UTC  

Yeah I can't do sounds like that lol, only nords can do that

2020-03-11 15:42:07 UTC  

with thier oeoe stuff

2020-03-11 15:42:09 UTC  

but modern greeks have stresses, correct?

2020-03-11 15:42:31 UTC  

and not only did ancient greek have tones, but the tone would go up and down within the same vowel and diphthong

2020-03-11 15:42:35 UTC  

smh

2020-03-11 15:42:39 UTC  

Let me google what a stress is

stress is what english has

2020-03-11 15:43:17 UTC  

although there are naturally tones, the stress is more important

2020-03-11 15:43:44 UTC  

Wikipedia says we have dynamic stress

2020-03-11 15:43:45 UTC  

the accent in a modern greek word marks a stronger emphasis

2020-03-11 15:43:53 UTC  

in ancient greek it marked a higher pitch

2020-03-11 15:44:05 UTC  

deeEee

2020-03-11 15:44:06 UTC  

Yeah nobody can do the pitches even in erasmian accent

2020-03-11 15:44:20 UTC  

like agora

@Banjod <:pepelaugh:640412982119235596>

2020-03-11 15:44:32 UTC  

the "a" at the end is a long vowel which goes up in pitch

2020-03-11 15:45:08 UTC  

pure rope theory

2020-03-11 15:45:09 UTC  

Yeah that's why it's αγορά with an accent <:ahem:639979147782914084>

2020-03-11 15:45:21 UTC  

but do you go up in pitch in modern greek?

2020-03-11 15:45:37 UTC  

Up in pitch <:pinothink:401744526915534858>

2020-03-11 15:45:48 UTC  

That's not just accentuating the vowel right?

2020-03-11 15:45:57 UTC  

when you're learning greek

2020-03-11 15:46:01 UTC  

it's like a higher note in music

2020-03-11 15:46:36 UTC  

No we don't change our voice to say a vowel, but we say it louder if that's what you mean

2020-03-11 15:46:56 UTC  

@Banjod Litearlly who

2020-03-11 15:47:11 UTC

2020-03-11 15:47:20 UTC
