Greek to English — Communication challenges for Ελληνικά speakers
Communication challenges for Ελληνικά speakers
When you speak English, you may run into challenges that come from the differences between Ελληνικά and English. Common areas include: Greek has grammatical cases — English has essentially none; Greek has three genders — English nouns have no gender; Greek has different verb aspect system — perfective and imperfective; Greek alphabet is different from the Latin alphabet used in English; Saying 'I will go tomorrow to the shop' — placing time and place phrases differently; Using double negatives: 'I don't know nothing' — Greek allows double negation.
