How to say the LANGUAGES in Greek

Knowing the languages in Greek is very useful if you want to introduce yourself or make genuine connections with other people. To help you remember them better, we’ll use some ending patterns! And you’ll be able to master them in no time!

By the end of this lesson, you’ll know once and for all the main languages in Greek and how to use them with confidence and stress-free, like a Pro!

Let’s get started!

The Languages in Greek

Many of the languages in Greek end in -ικα, like
αγγλικά- anglika – english
γαλλικά- ghalika – french
ιταλικά- italika – italian
ισπανικά- ispanika – spanish
πορτογαλικά- portoghalika – portuguese

So what you can do is to take the country ending out (-ια) and add the language ending you want in!

For example
Αγγλία –> Αγγλ –> αγγλ-ικά
