the amount of greek words in zoology and medicine is ridiculous to say the least

>>213724717 (OP)
Can you understand any of it? Or is modern Greek so removed from classical and medieval that it's moon language at this point?

greeks are animals and being greek is a medical defect

The amount of Latin and French words in English is ridiculous.

Also, isn’t anatomy pretty much just all Latin and Greek?

>>213724717 (OP)
even the word zoology is greek

Aristotle is the father of physics, Pythagoras and Euclid are very important figures in mathematics, Hippocrates is a very important figure in medicine. So many medical terms in English are derived from greek and latin (pneumothorax, tinea alba).

According to gemini
>Koine Greek is very similar to Modern Greek. A Modern Greek speaker can often read Koine with some effort, as its grammar and vocabulary are largely preserved. In contrast, Old English is a foreign language to modern English speakers. The immense linguistic changes after the Norman Conquest of 1066 made Old English completely incomprehensible, highlighting a much larger linguistic gap than that between Koine and Modern Greek.

Ancient Greek is much more difficult than Koine Greek because it's more complex but Gemini still says it's closer to modern Greek than modern English is with old English

That's why I said medicine wanting to cover a wide variety of sciences

Zoe is life, zo (ζω) means "I live" and zoo (ζώο) means animal

thoughts on the movie 300?

are greeks mostly religious or they're mostly homosexuals? I mean look at those meat on greek men, even from antiquity.

While Greeks and Romans were building civilisation germanics and Scandinavians were busy banging rocks together and smearing themselves in pig shit to cure diseases.
