Greek words we have now learned (by Angus and Nina)

Hi everyone,

The jungle friends in Miss Jones' class asked what else we have learned in Greece. When we went to lunch today we made a list of all of the Greek words we have learned so far. We have met a friend, a boy named Iannis, who speaks some English, but mostly speaks Greek. Instead of Spanish classes like we take, he takes English classes. He is 7 and just finished first grade.

Here are the words we have learned:

Apricots: VERICOCO

Hello: YASSAS or, as Angus wants you to know, informally, YASSOU

No: OHI

Yes: NE

Wait a second: MISO-LEPTO

I don't understand: THEN KATALAVENO

I do understand: KATALAVENO

Please and thank you: PARAKALO

Come: ELLA

Come with me: ELLA MAZI MOU

Pool: PISINA

Swimming: KOLYMBI

How are you? TI KANES?

Good evening: KALI MERA

Good morning: KALI SPERA

Thank you: EF KHARISTO

Water: NERO

Everything: OLLA

Finished: TELOS

Cold: CRIO

Hot: ZESTY

Good: KALA

Very good: KALA

Nina likes saying "KOLIMBYI--ELA MAZI MOU!!!"  Angus just learned the word for sugar, ZATHAF.

(Side note: Duncan's favorite sounding word is KARPUSZ, which means watermelon. His most frequently used word is NESCAFE FRAPPE. Alisia is practicing the very difficult "th" sound, which is alot like an "S" and a "L" together, as in the word for sea, which is THASSALA, but sounds like thasthalla. She also likes the word OMORPHI, which is beautiful, but it doesn't really sound so beautiful.)

Here are some words for Good-bye:

AN-DIO, which means "to God"

and you can also say YASSAS for good-bye (and hello)

!!!!YASSAS!!!! XOXOXOXO
