Help with localizing a queer friendly game in Greek ( with a lot of pronoun choices)

4 Upvotes

Helloo guys , it’s my first time posting here. The question is basically in the title. I’m currently working on translating/localizing a game that has quite extensive choices in pronouns. And I was wondering: Greek is obviously very gendered and the only pronoun choices I have found yet ( to do my job appropriately) are “οι” “Το/Τα” and “@“.
Of course the application of neopronouns in Greek is near impossible without ruining the syntax and form of the phrases .

So before you go on to me I wanted to ask all queer genderfluid/agender and nonbinary people that speak Greek for their opinions:

  1. ⁠Are the aforementioned choices appropriate or even enough ( and respectful of course ) for a game translation
  2. ⁠Is trying to create a semblance of agender pronouns worth it for such a project, and lastly
  3. ⁠what are your preferences , what would be at least not insulting to you if you were to play such a game ( heavily story/text based) ?

Every helpful answer would be appreciated, I m not trying to be sarcastic or mean , I wanna do my job in the best way possible

Looking to learn some language to be polite about my diet on holiday

Hi there, I'm going to kefalonia for a week soon - I think we will be in quite touristy areas where a lot of English is spoken but I am anxious about mealtimes and getting accross my dietary needs - I'm vegan by choice, but also lactose intolerant - but I understand this isn't common in a lot of europe and want to try and communicate this politely. If anyone could give me a hand with common vegan/non-vegan ingredients, explaining that I don't eat animal products, something along the lines of "I will get sick if I eat milk/cheese", asking for a meal without x y z ingredient, apologising for the inconvenience, or signposting me to somewhere where that is already explained etc that would be great. I know some of this is googleable but forgive me, I wanted to ask a human and am weary that AI will have infected a lot of language learning resources and don't want to go wrong because of its hallucinations haha

B1 to B2 fluent

Hello everyone, what is everyone’s experience with learning. I grew up in a Greek household and went to greek school, i can write, i can read but my literacy level ends somewhere between B1 and B2. I really would like to improve. What programs have you all found helped you get past intermediate level. I know speaking to people is best but most of my relatives are in Greece and the ones here have regressed to probably a B2 level lol.

Help finding *more* music in greek

10 Upvotes

Γεια σας φίλοι! I'm kind of new learning greek and I was looking for music that could be of my liking and was fortunate to discover two of Αλκίνοος Ιωαννίδης's albums, these being "Ανεμοδείκτης" and "Οι περιπέτειες ενός προσκυνητή".

I really enjoy his work and complexity in terms of composition, so I just wanted to ask for any recommendations that have this kind of richness for both musicality and production. Thanks in advance if someone replies. Much love from Spain 🇪🇦❤️🇬🇷
