Yeah I can't do sounds like that lol, only nords can do that
with thier oeoe stuff
but modern greeks have stresses, correct?
and not only did ancient greek have tones, but the tone would go up and down within the same vowel and diphthong
smh
Let me google what a stress is
stress is what english has
although there are naturally tones, the stress is more important
Wikipedia says we have dynamic stress
the accent in a modern greek word marks a stronger emphasis
in ancient greek it marked a higher pitch
deeEee
Yeah nobody can do the pitches even in erasmian accent
like agora
@Banjod <:pepelaugh:640412982119235596>
the "a" at the end is a long vowel which goes up in pitch
pure rope theory
Yeah that's why it's αγορά with an accent <:ahem:639979147782914084>
but do you go up in pitch in modern greek?
Up in pitch <:pinothink:401744526915534858>
That's not just accentuating the vowel right?
it's like a higher note in music
No we don't change our voice to say a vowel, but we say it louder if that's what you mean
@Banjod Litearlly who
every greek
I don't know, I thought he might be greek, but he has an english name and says uk
just looks angry
i've watched various academics try to pronounce ancient greek
and most don't come close to classical greek as i understand it
They're all biased by their own language
that's part of it
DALE!
but they learned at a time when it wasn't as well understood also
show us correct pronunciation
