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
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
<:pinkwojak:552803856535257090>
Germans speak german greek
wiktionary has good pronunciation guides
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT DALE
but you'll have to learn the international phonetic alphabet
