Here are some useful phrases. They're all phonetic; I can speak it, but I can't spell it so well. xD Although "Greeklish" is used by many people in greece when typing on a keyboard that has no Greek characters. Just typing the words with their pronunciations, OR with the English equivilant of the Greek letter. So hello could be typed "giasoy" or "yaso," really.
Hello = YA-sou!
Goodbye = An-DAY-oh!
Do you speak Greek? = Mee-NAHS Ah-lee-nee-KAH?
A little = LEE-gho.
Yes = Nay.
No = OH-hee.
My name is... = Toh on-a-MA moo EE-neh...
Where is...? = Poo-EE-neh ee/to...?
Fish = PSA-ree.
Bread = Pso-MEE.
House = SPEE-tee.
Dog = Skee-LEE.
Anything in particular you want me to translate?
By the ay, to make something possessive, you add "_ou" after it. So 'my dog' would be 'skili mou'! 'Your dog' would be 'skili sou'!

There are an obscene amount of cognates. Actually, with the Romance languages, as well. For example, "pen" in Greek is "stee-LO." And pants? "Pan-ta-LON-ee." Sound familiar? surprised

Mivi Για σας! I'm actually learning modern Greek. 3nodding But it's been a while since I last picked up the book. >.< Good luck with your studies smile Just a suggestion: when learning the alphabet, don't constantly put Romanized-letter transliterations near the words to make it easier for yourself to read. You'll get too used to this and it'll actually create more problems in the long run.
