Can Greeks understand Ancient Greek? Can they understand Latin? Let's find out! In this video, I ask Thanos, who speaks Italian fluently but has never studied Latin, to respond to me in Italian and Modern Greek when I speak to him in Latin and Ancient Greek. But the most important question is: will I be able to understand Modern Greek?! 🦂 Support my work on Patreon: www.patreon.com/LukeRanieri 📚 Luke Ranieri Audiobooks: luke-ranieri.myshopify.com/ 🤠 Take my course LATIN UNCOVERED on StoryLearning, including my original Latin adventure novella "Vir Petasātus" learn.storylearning.com/lu-promo?affiliate_id=3932… 🦂 Sign up for my Latin Pronunciation & Conversation series on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/54058196

I don't think it can be overstated how invaluable it is to have an ancestor language and its modern descendant compared not in a stiff academic manner, but with the natural prosody of casual conversation--all those pauses, the mumbling, etc. Of course it's important to have examples where the language is spoken cleanly and clearly, but I don't know if there's any other video on the entire internet like this one, where the comparison arises organically through a natural conversation, it's quite unique. These practical demonstrations you make are an invaluable companion piece to the explanatory videos, great work as always!

As Sicilian it makes me cry listening the ancient languages of my ancestors especially the ancient greek ❤ Una faccia una razza

As a greek Cypriot i understand a lot of ancient greek. And thats because the greek Cypriot dialect has a lot of greek ancient words

I love greek. For me it might be the most beautiful language in the world.

I LOVE the trilingual subtitles! It's like having my own Rosetta monument! 😆👍🏻

4:00 I didn't even realize I was watching ads in Latin 😂😂😂 The most effective marketin

It's so charming to see how when Thanos finally understands what Luke is saying, they both cheer up and smile - it's like when you're talking to a person in their own native language and they perk up when they hear it. It's just so human and nice to see.

Απρόσμενο βίντεο! Μ' άρεσε πολύ πώς μερικές φορές σε μπέρδεψε, Λούκιε, εσένα η νεοελληνική προφορά. Εξαιρετικό! 👍🏻 Και χαιρετισμούς από Θεσσαλονίκη! 🎉

I'm convinced Luke is a time traveler at this point.

Hey Luke, not sure if you make it to Southern Italy often, but it'd be cool to try practicing Greek wit the Calabrian Greek or Griko communities! Great video as always

I noticed that Greeks are more familiar with ancient Greek than Italians with Latin. That's my impression, compared to your other video speaking Latin to Italians

As a native Greek speaker if I pay attention enough to spoken ancient Greek I can understand everything actually, maybe some words might be off bc of the atypical pronunciation Luke is using here, but seeing it written it makes it even easier. I'd say modern Greek is much less changed from Koine than Italian is to classical Latin in fact

I get so much encouragement my the joy and enthusiasm Luke has. When I feel embarrassed or awkward speaking Latin, I try to remember the confidence that Luke always promotes in all his content.

Πραγματικά ήταν μια πολύ καλή και ενδιαφέρουσα συζήτηση. Μια ανάδειξη των δυο κύριων αρχαίων Ευρωπαϊκών γλωσσών την Αρχαίας Ελληνικής και Αρχαίας Ιταλικής ( Λατινικής ) που επηρεάζουν παρά πολλές άλλες γλώσσες έως και σήμερα! Δύο γλώσσες αδερφές, δύο πολιτισμών, που από την αρχαιότητα θεμελίωσαν τον σύγχρονο πολιτισμό. Καλή συνέχεια σε αυτό το υπέροχο ταξίδι, στο ταξίδι της εμβάθυνσης της Αρχαίας Ελληνικής, Νεοελληνικής και Λατινικής γλώσσας! Σας ευχαριστούμε! Από την Ελλάδα πολλούς χαιρετισμούς!

Actually the greek guy speaks italian pretty well, if they never told me he was greek i could have mistaken him for a native italian speaker. (P.s. i am italian of course)

Αίλουρος which is associate with cat in ancient greek means "thing that wiggles its tail" in modern greek ουρά means "tail" quite an interesting find. :)

As someone who speaks the Cypriot dialect of Greek, I have to say that I had a very easy time understanding your ancient Greek. Maybe some Calabrians in Italy who speak the old form of Greek would feel the same.

A ρε Θάνο, καλή συνέχεια στην ξενητιά

I was shocked when he said he is Americano. Che bello
