nice project

apart from the results can we also have the complete table of words when you're done ?


greek:

hello / ???? ??? / gia su
notes: most people cut the su so it's more like "hi". also the word ???? is short for ????? (igia) which means health and ??? is "yours". So it's like wising the person you are speaking to to have a good health. Also, we use it for both hello and goodbye but you can also use "?? ????" (taleme) which is the equivalent for see you

please / ???????? / parakalo

thanks / ????????? / efharisto
notes: the "h" is pronounced like in hot


side notes
-------------
1. see the stress? (or whatever its called) thats where the emphasis goes, it's not like "i" in english that the dot means nothing.
2. a tip that none will bother telling you - as a rule, all male greek names end with "s" while female ones could end with any vowel, there is no exception in that. However, when you call someone with his name you don't use that final "s". For example, if you ask me my name i'll tell you it's pafsanias but when you are addressing me in a sentence you will say e.g. "hey pafsania how are you?"

Glad to be of help

HOW ABOUT SOME ARABIC
Mind, im talking about the local language, not the old one
HI: Zayek
Goodbye : Ma'a salaama(not to be confused with the muslim version, which is wa'aleikumu assalaam)
Please : ...The egyptians dont get the concept of please and NEVER use it. NEVER. I havent heard a single egyptian say please.
i guess if i were to say it, it would be a bastardized version of min fadlik'. Thats what the local egyptian arabic is, a basterdized version of the original language. I should knw, im learning it...
Thanks : Shukran
