Greek Word of the Day

Learn Greek along with me!

Today's entry is actually two words:

Nai & 'Οχι

Counterintuitively, 'nai' (pronounced neigh) means yes, and 'oxi' (pronounced o-hee) means no.
It can be very confusing.

'Οχι actually has its own day.

  1. After pronouncing Oxi, "ohee" for days, one of Aris's friends finally told me. No, it's like a cat; you have to get the hissing sound involved. :) I always think about cats now when I say oxi! Sometimes I exaggerate it, and it makes me laugh.
