The richness of the Greek language is a fact. However, as long as one studies the Greek language, it repays us by giving us pleasant surprises, such as the one hidden by the ancient Greek mother’s wish!
The mother’s wish in ancient Greece is proof that austerity and beauty can coexist in one language! It is the ancient Greek wish of a mother to her son, which includes six words, having only vowels and no consonants!
The French writer Jacques Lacarriere once said:
“In Greek there is a vertigo of words, because only it explored, recorded and analyzed the internal processes of speech and language, like no other language”.
So watch out for something:
“OIA OH OH HYE EI EI”which means: “Like the dawn, my son always be!”.
Six words, fourteen vowels, one phrase. Not a single consonant, in a complete sentence! In what other language can this happen? Probably only in Greek…
IA means like
Oh, it’s dawn
Oh my son
HELLO HELLO Be always!
