| Hi, everyone! I’m Chrissi Papadopoulou. |
| Γεια σε όλους! Είμαι η Χρυσή Παπαδοπούλου. |
| Welcome to the Greek Whiteboard Lessons! |
| In this lesson, you’ll learn how to talk about the days of the week in Greek. |
| Let’s get started! |
| Okay, let's look at the vocabulary. |
| First, we have... |
| Δευτέρα |
| (Deftéra) |
| Monday |
| Δευτέρα |
| (Deftéra) |
| [SLOW] Δευτέρα (Deftéra) |
| Δευτέρα |
| (Deftéra) |
| Does the word Δευτέρα (Deftéra) sound familiar? |
| Well, it derives from the word δεύτερος (défteros), which means “second”. |
| So, basically Δευτέρα (Deftéra) for us Greeks means “the second day of the week”. |
| Next is... |
| Τρίτη |
| (Tríti) |
| Tuesday |
| Τρίτη |
| (Tríti) |
| [SLOW] Τρίτη (Tríti) |
| Τρίτη |
| (Tríti) |
| The numerical pattern continues here. |
| This word comes from τρίτος (trítos), which means “third”. |
| So, Τρίτη (Tríti) is the third day of the week. |
| Next, we have… |
| Τετάρτη |
| (Tetárti) |
| Wednesday |
| Τετάρτη |
| (Tetárti) |
| [SLOW] Τετάρτη (Tetárti) |
| Τετάρτη |
| (Tetárti) |
| You guessed it! |
| Τετάρτη derives from τέταρτος (tétartos), meaning “fourth”. |
| And then, we have... |
| Πέμπτη |
| (Pémpti) |
| Thursday |
| Πέμπτη |
| (Pémpti) |
| [SLOW] Πέμπτη (Pémpti) |
| Πέμπτη |
| (Pémpti) |
| This is considered to be the fifth day of the week |
| as it derives from the word πέμπτος (pémptos), meaning “fifth”. |
| The next day, though, doesn’t follow the same pattern. |
| So, up next is… |
| Παρασκευή |
| (Paraskeví) |
| Friday |
| Παρασκευή |
| (Paraskeví) |
| [SLOW] Παρασκευή (Paraskeví) |
| Παρασκευή |
| (Paraskeví) |
| The name of this day literally means “preparation” in Greek. |
| Then, we have... |
| Σάββατο |
| (Sávato) |
| Saturday |
| Σάββατο |
| (Sávato) |
| [SLOW] Σάββατο (Sávato) |
