馃槀馃槀馃槀 they forgot to put the tones! Lol fortunately we don't have some of these nowadays 馃槃

@HannibalAteMeOut lolol you mean, they had like double or triple of what's written here? Oh boy 馃樀 Languages tend to get simpler over time.. How many articles you have in modern Greek? I know "o" and "to" only..
HannibalAteMeOut22-25, F
@covfefe234 Get ready for it:
For a single male: 慰, 蟿慰蠀, 蟿慰谓
For a single female: 畏, 蟿畏蟼, 蟿畏谓
For a single neutral: 蟿慰, 蟿慰蠀, 蟿慰
For multiple males: 慰喂, 蟿蠅谓, 蟿慰蠀蟼
For multiple females: 慰喂, 蟿蠅谓, 蟿喂蟼
For multiple neutral: 蟿伪, 蟿蠅谓, 蟿伪

馃槄 it's a bit more complicated than that but I don't know the right words in English because these things don't exist in english. If I knew german I probably could describe it better lol.

@HannibalAteMeOut 馃樀 That's actually not much better than ancient Greek XD And yes, it's even more complicated than german:

Single male: Der
Single Female: Die
Single Neutral: Das
Multiple (all): Die

see, that's simple :P

@covfefe234 but look:
covfefe23431-35, M
@HannibalAteMeOut ooh you included accusative and dative too?? Yes in that case it goes a lot.. So for the base case (nominative) Greek has only 3 articles just like German?
HannibalAteMeOut22-25, F
I found these are called nominative, genitive, dative, accusative and vocative. We don't use dative anymore 馃槢
covfefe23431-35, M
@HannibalAteMeOut I don't know what vocative is and alrady forgot the genitive XD Shame on me :D
HannibalAteMeOut22-25, F
@covfefe234 yep for nominative there's just 慰, 畏 , 蟿慰 in both ancient and modern Greek 馃槈
covfefe23431-35, M
@HannibalAteMeOut Yep it's even with German in this case, 3 :) Yaay me one step closer to learning Greek :D
covfefe23431-35, M
@HannibalAteMeOut But tell me, why is the life female in this case ? :P :P
HannibalAteMeOut22-25, F
@covfefe234 for the same reason that the table is neutral and the flower lily is male 馃槀
covfefe23431-35, M
@HannibalAteMeOut Table is neutral since you bought it from IKEA, a Swedish company that remained neutral in World wars 馃槀 And we guys look tough but have the heart of lillies in reality :P Your turn ;)
HannibalAteMeOut22-25, F
@covfefe234 hahaha but can you explain why the blanket is female? 馃槀 (probably because we women get cold more easily, right?)
covfefe23431-35, M
@HannibalAteMeOut I'd say it would be nice when a guy wraps a blanket around himself, almost as nice when he does it with a girl :P :P
