OMG IT HAS GREEK IN THERE WOO HOO I CAN READ GREEK AND SPEAK IT!
LOL now I will stop the happiness.
EvilElsbeth if you need help with how to say the words just hollar at me.

Yeah...I need help with all of them! I'm from the south, you know. I say "Y'all" in everyday converstaion! LOL

Okay I'll try to help because these people who wrote tried to make it too English.
Road:is prounced as dromos ()
Time which also means wheather: is prounouced as kairos/chiros (you prounce the Kai as you would with "que" in spanish)
seven,nine,foros are remain the same.
Sunday: is prounouced as Kiriaki.
eight:you could say it as octo(but making O with your mouth)
goose:is prounouced as Pappia.
Grandpa:is prounouced as Pappou(PA POU)
Soap:is prounouced as Sapouni.

I know I skipped some words but it has to do for the fact that it is either ancient Greek which is something my family has tried to teach me or its from a different dialect.But damn you see how many of the words they messed up lol trying to make it more English.

Wow.. i wanna learn how to speak this Language. Let me try speaking it then.. ummmmmmm.. here it goes: "when i get so excited I get PAPPIA bumps" lol

LOL Silly Oakie!!

Thanks, Barbie! That's-hard! LOL But so cool.

lol oakie.
I know EvilElsbeth and these people wanted to teach me Ancient Greek and Latin which I learned Latin but then I forgot it.

My gran used to call me 'Dordi' (I dunno how it is spelt). I thought it was a nickname but my auntie told me about two years ago that it means 'Dear' or 'Dearest'...?

Yeah, she would say 'Cushty' too, I thought that she was watching too much of Only Fools And Horses because Delboy used to say it all the time. That means 'good' or 'Great'. Heh.

lol my grandma has some wacky nicknames for me too.
