How do you say "Greek" in Greek?

[Glaucus]

6. Is there any "That's sound Greek to me" in

"γυφτικα", I mean, "giftika".  :-) When my family visited Greece a decade or so ago, my grandmother would hear my sister and I speaking English and she'd call us her little gypsies! I think that's the closest to "it's all greek to me" that you'll find in Greece.  :-)

Δοκιμαζω τα ελληνικα στο IE6. Η ορθογραφια μου δεν ειναι πολυ καλη, αλλα ξερω να διαβαζω και να μειλαω απλα Ελληνικα. Την οξεια πωσ την γραφετε

 - Μιχαλησ (How do you write the 's' that's supposed to go at the end of the word (without switching to english like I did)? The 'σ' there is obviously wrong)

Φίλε Μιχάλη.

Η οξεία δεν χρησιμοποιείται πια, μόνο ο τόνος. Για να γράψεις ένα γράμμα με τόνο: πατάς πρώτα το κουμπί με το σύμβολο ":" σε κανονικό win keyboard, και μετά το γράμμα που θές. Για το τελικό "ς" χρησιμοποίησε το γράμμα w στο πληκτρολόγιο.

Πολλούς χαιρετισμούς.  :-)

There is a famous leader of leftist guerilla
in South East Asia who was killed after communist
rebellion in 1948 (similar to Che Guevara):
Tan Malaka.
During Japanese occupation, he is their main
target. I guess he hide in Greece :-)
