It\u2019s time to explore them more closely. What usually happens is that an item, idea or notion is expressed with one word in Modern Greek \u2013 usually completely different to the ancient word, sometimes even meaning something very different to our ancient ancestors \u2013 but then, when it comes to compound words and derivatives, we use the ancient word to form them. That\u2019s why we need to keep in mind some of these basic ancient words, which we are never going to use alone, but we have to be able to recognize them in compounds and derivatives. I bet that a lot of you already know some, even if you haven\u2019t realized it.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"el-GR\">\u03bd\u03b5\u03c1\u03cc<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> (= water) <\/span><span style=\"font-family: Wingdings, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">:<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> it was <\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"el-GR\"><i>\u03cd\u03b4\u03c9\u03c1<\/i><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> to the ancient Greeks.
