No! Thita with an accent on the i is more accurate but i cant find that on my keyboard😕,...iota
(I would spell theta theta, as it's written with an eta.)
Edit: Too late...
Second edit: If you write "eta" as "ita" and "theta" as "thita" etc., how do you tell iota and eta apart?
Originally posted by Sicilian SmaugI know it's pronounced like thita (with an i like in German or French) in modern Greek, but I thought it would still be transcribed as e. I don't know modern Greek, only classical.
My ex was Greek and i know the language quite well, Plus i have found a learn Greek book here which writes it as Thita with an accent on the i. Lamtha
Originally posted by mikelomYes, that's approximately how I learned it at school, too. But the Y is transcribed as Y in Germany, so it's "my", "ny" and "ypsilon" (in fact the "y" is called ypsilon in the German alphabet, too). And "omikron" is spelt with "k" (which makes sense, as it's a kappa).
I'm sticking with you!

I just found the above and it tallies with the version I learned at school.
