I had a math teacher who used to say that side benefit of learning maths was learning to read Greek.
Small ωmega always making an ass out of himself ;p
Xi was my favorite at university
Greek is a really cool language. Wish it were more useful.
Hey! I can into Greek letters! Look: Г П Ф
ФОТОГРАФ
isn’t that cool? B)
When you’re an engineer, you learn all the lowercase letters and some of the uppercase.
Small xi is my favourite letter in the whole world, and I’m not even greek…
Look at all those male types
O-micron: short “O”
O-mega: long “O”
the latinized names are giving me an aneurysm. Who decided that Νν is nu? or Μμ mu? we literally never* refer to them that way.
If i’m not wrong the one between kappa and mu is a song.
Technically it’s the only alphabet. I mean, the letters are not named “alpha, beta…” in other languages…
Seeing this is giving me flashbacks to my uni courses. I just thought I got over those memories…
alfa
veeta
yamma
thelta
epsilon
zeeta
eeta
theeta
yota
kappa
lamtha
mee
nee
ksee
omicron
pee
rho
seegma
taf
eepsilon
fee
hee
psee
omega

This is giving me PTSD flashbacks to maths classes.
I did a Greek beginners course this year for 5 months, my god the hardest part was remembering the difference between psi and phi
I think Φ/φ is the coolest pair
We use so much Greek letters in Math and Physics that i literally know most of them. Reading Greek sentances and words is still alien language for me tbh.
I just realised I have seen all Greek letters in lower cases through my engineering courses (plus high school maths, physics, and even chemistry too (!))
For those wondering, I did Electrical Engineering.
I imagine cursive being a nightmare
Imagine doing math and actually running out of greek letters
You called?
Having the number of letters be a multiple of four makes this very chantable
Greek Alphabet
Man, I’m glad I speak greek. I can deduce the etymology of complex english words like “osteoporosis”, “schizophrenia”, “onomatopoeia” or the word “etymology” itself based on their constituent words alone. I can name every -phobia and -philia by just using the greek word for what I fear/love in the beginning and following it up with phobia/philia. It’s amazing.
If you studied just a bit of maths or physics after school you can basically read Greek
lol sigma nuts
If you have a physics degree, you know all of these by heart.

Yeah. It’s all Greek to me.
