I want...
When ordering food or drinks, you usually precede the order with “I want..” and follow it with “please.” We already know
παρακαλώand we need one more letter for the request:
Θ θ
This letter has the consonant sound that begins the words thin thick, and think.
Hear the letter’s sound:
Hear the letter’s name:
It is used in the word for “want:”
ΘέλωThe grammatical structure of Greek lets us use this word all by itself without needing to say the word for "I."
Important:
θ and δ are pronounced differently. The first one has
the sound of thin, the second has the sound of
this. The difference is called voicing,
and you can see a detailed explanation
here, or you can proceed.
