This is a small video made by me about the
Greek alphabet and the numbers.
Below is what is in the video.
Neophytos:
GREEK ALPHABET - NUMBERS & PRONOUCIATION
Notes:
1.
DO NOT pronounce the blue
2
. In the Greek alphabet we have the D and the T but the pronunciation is different from
English.
3. D (written ΝΤ and the sound
Dollars)
4. T the sound of the consonant only from the word Tea but is doesn't sound as strong!
The English T is written
T T in
Greek!
5. The same goes for P which is not pronounced pie but pi as in pit. And the English P in Greek is Π Π (PP)
.
In the letters below ONLY THE
FIRST SOUND is pronounced in words
Α α =
Alpha

Veta (Vinny-Ta)

Δ δ = Thelta (the from there)
Ε ε =
Epsilon

Zeta
Η η = etta
Θ θ = theta (the from thesis)
Ι ι = Yiota
Κ κ =
Kappa (notice the double p, it's just the sound of one p in English)
Λ λ = Lamtha (tha as in that)
Μ μ = Me
Ν ν = Ne
Ξ ξ = Xi (the sound of this is not e-xe but just the consonant x-e)
