Re: Why not modern?
There is a greater reliance in vowel patterns to understand the endings of words in Restored Koine than when using Modern, many of which reduce to mostly i i i. This is kindof true, but especially if you know whether or not a word is a noun or a verb, it should be pretty equal. And what's interesti...

Re: Why not modern?
What is the upside to using the Living Greek pronunciation vs. modern? In switching from Modern to Restored Koine, 3 have been particularly noticeable. The most important is that ἡμεῖς / ὑμεῖς and so on for their full inflections are differentiated for person. Another one is that σύ / σοί are diffe...

Re: Preposition + Articulated Infinitive
These have all been very helpful thank y'all! I think I somewhat discovered the miner difference between "ἐποίησα αὐτὸ εἰς τὸ βλέψαι μὲ σέ" and "ἐποίησα αὐτὸ ἵνα βλέπῶ σέ", but sadly it only makes since if you know spanish. It's hard to articulate the difference, but I think it's...

Re: Preposition + Articulated Infinitive
Chris, let me give you a little piece of trivia as cross-chat. It is not entirely relevant here for this question, but after some digestion it may help to balance your perception of the language in the long-term. Despite its prevalence in teaching grammars, βλέπειν, a verb "to see" (and i...

Re: τοῦ πονηροῦ (Ματ 6:13)
καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν, ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ . νομίζω ὅτι τὸ "τοῦ πονηροῦ" σημαίνει τὸν Διάβολον. διὰ τί? διότι ὁ Διάβολος τὸν Θεὸν πειράζει. http://ibiblio.org/bgreek/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3318 ἀληθινῶς, ἀλλὰ καὶ δεῖ ἡμᾶς βλέπειν ὅτι ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐδίδασκου το...

Re: Question about Living Koine materials
And, furthermore, all these decisions are based on a premise that we're not entirely sure of; that being that the phonemes were even inconsistent depending on their surroundings. First of all, some good news. Most of the natural sub-phonemic changes happen on their own. No one has to think about th...

Re: Question about Living Koine materials
There are also natural contours that are placed on any pronunciation by the surrounding letter/phonemes: word initial followed by a velar stop in the one case, and a bilabial/labiodental fricative followed by a lateral sonorant in the other. This is kind of what I was getting at; how did you decide...

Re: Question about Living Koine materials
Chris, Have you read, and possibly re-read, the PDF description of why the system is the way it is, on the biblicallanguagecenter.com website? That would be the place to start and then we can discuss any points aren't clear. Sorry i guess I didn't make my question very clear. I understand finding t...
