Learning Greek.

[Lucy Thomas]

I'm currently learning Greek and have a problem. In the lessons I'm using, the word for man is spelt ο άνδρας.

However, I downloaded some grammar notes from the internet and was surprised to see that they spelt the word for man ο άντρας.

Is this an alternative spelling or is the second one wrong as the pronunciation in each case is slightly different.

It is a regional thing and purely down to dialect, i would not over worry as they are both acceptable and both would indicate that you have a grasp of the language.

Very interesting, your mastery of alternative fonts, but asking your question here in monkey land is not going to get much more than peanuts and gibbon droppings.
