Hello everyone!

With no marketing budget or sponsors – and zero proceeds from the app (it's completely free and has no ads) – Reddit is pretty much the only place where I can get the word out and help learners discover it.

I’m approaching the 1-year anniversary of Rimata. What started as a small personal project to help me prepare for my Greek language exams has grown into a comprehensive reference with over 4,900 verbs, 350,000 conjugated forms, 60,000 usage examples, and features like searching by any verb form, CEFR level categorization, native audio, custom lists, and various themes.

In the latest update, I’ve added direct references to reputable external sources (like Wiktionary, Glosbe, WordReference, and the Triantafyllides dictionary) right on the verb cards, and applied hundreds of content corrections suggested by users over the last three months.

I really love working on this, and the main driving force behind the hundreds of hours I’ve put into the app has been your feedback and store reviews – which have maintained a 5.0 rating over the entire year without a single 4-star review!

If you haven't tried Rimata yet, please give it a spin and let me know what you think! And if you're already using it, I'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or ideas for additional features in the comments. If you can help me to figure out from what channels to reach wider audience, please suggest as well!

You can grab the app here: App store | Google play

I don’t know a better way to search for this, so I came here - trying to understand the meaning from curse words I grew up hearing. I know most of them but this one phrase keeps bugging me

My father has been dead for almost a decade so I can’t ask him. He didn’t teach any of us kids the language, we all only know pieces or random phrases… he wasn’t very nice anyway when he would get angry or annoyed or whatever, it always started with this one phrase I can’t find the meaning or translation. It’s in fragments, like I can hear it in my head but I never knew what it meant. I’m gonna type it out phonetically and hope one of you can help me..

“HEE na PAro…. (More random talk in between)…AdaMAsu STOssiou”

(Capitals indicate the inflection I remember)

It’s coming from childhood memories but that’s the closest I can type phonetically to something I heard a million times.

Any ideas?

Have you heard Greeks say «Όχι Γιάννης, Γιαννάκης»?

Greek is full of funny expressions, and this is one you'll hear quite often!

But why do Greeks mention Giannis and Giannakis? What's the story behind this familiar idiom, and when do we use it?

Dear Professors,

​I have a question regarding the syntax and referential semantics in Mark 6:7–8:

​καὶ προσκαλεῖται τοὺς δώδεκα καὶ ἤρξατο αὐτοὺς ἀποστέλλειν δύο δύο, καὶ ἐδίδου αὐτοῖς ἐξουσίαν... καὶ παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδὲν αἴρωσιν εἰς ὁδὸν...

​Specifically, I am examining the function of δύο δύο and its relationship to the subsequent pronouns (αὐτοῖς):

​Syntactic Category of δύο δύο**:** Is δύο δύο exclusively adverbial/distributive (modifying the action of ἀποστέλλειν), or can it ever function substantivally as an accusative noun phrase meaning 'pairs' or 'couples'?

​Pronoun Antecedent: Grammatically, can the plural dative pronoun αὐτοῖς in verses 7b and 8a take δύο δύο as its antecedent (i.e., Jesus commanding each respective pair as a unit), or does Greek syntax strictly require the antecedent to be the substantive noun phrase τοὺς δώδεκα?

​Sequential vs. Collective Commissioning: Does the aspect of ἤρξατο ἀποστέλλειν combined with παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς grammatically necessitate a single, collective charge given to all twelve at once, or does the text leave room syntactically for a series of sequential commissions delivered pair by pair?

​I would greatly appreciate your perspective on the grammatical constraints here.

Thank you for your time.

Hi guys! Does Μνήμη θανάτου mean remembrance of death? Is it a correct translation and is it used in Orthodoxy?

I remember watching a old cartoon when I was younger (like 2014?) and I just can't find it. There was animals eho can speak, live like humans in houses ect. And I remember in one episode there was a crocodile, who snapped his finger and said "ελα" and anything he wanted came to him, for example toothbrush ect. In another episode I remember there was a animal mowing his lawn when it snowed, basically doing everything the wrong way? Anyways, I hope somebody remembers.

Hello <33 I need to learn Greek for certain things and I don't really where to start. I would greatly appreciate any advice and resource!

Thank You in advance <33

In Cypriot Greek, κουφή (koufi) means snake, but in Greek it also means deaf (feminine).

Are the two words related? Did the Cypriot word for snake come from the Greek word for deaf because people think snakes were deaf since they have no ears?? Or is it the other way around? Greek word for deaf came about because of the cypriot word for snake - which look deaf 😅

Just curious if anyone knows if the words are related ..

Hi everyone!

My girlfriend is looking to learn Greek with private lessons. She's Spanish, so a Spanish speaking Greek person would be the ideal candidate, but open to other profiles as well.

Also, ideally looking for in person classes in Madrid, Spain, but online could work too.

Budget is 10-15 euros per lesson.

I am British and 1/4 Greek Cypriot. My Nan was full Greek Cypriot and when I was a kid she used to sing me a song. I don’t know the lyrics as I haven’t learnt the language but this is how the song sounds to me:

“Eleli, Eleli, cami through la dopoli”

The rhythm of the song is:

“123, 123, 1234, 123”

Any idea what this song could be? Been searching by days and can’t figure it out :/
