HelpRe: I'm sure you mean Sotos, Kostas/Costas, and Tasos/Tassos. (m)
in reply to a message by Kalosyne
I didn't mean funny in a mean way, probably poor word choice on my part. I was just sharing names of friends. I was deffinitely not making fun of Greek people OR the Greek language (I'm actually trying to learn it) I never thought anyone would take it like that but again, poor choice of words I think.
And thank you for the info of the names.

Oh I know you weren't being mean-spirited. I took "funny" to mean that you found the names unusual (OK maybe you're right and it wasn't the best wording but I wasn't insulted; I knew how you meant it) and perhaps rhymey which is why I pointed out they were nicknames.
I think it's great you want to learn Greek. You see the world differently when you know more than one language, IMO. My focus now is on Japanese. You're welcome for the info. :)

I would have gotten defensive if someone said something about German names when they didn't know anything about it. Now when I look over what I wrote again, it sounded REALLY arrogent /:
Greek is hard to learn! Especially with the different alphabet. I try to practice with the few Greeks I know by always saying YASSOU!(:
BTW, do you know if Costas could be Costos? maybe I just need to get my ears checked, but I always hear an 'O' at the end..
