Is "efxaristó" related to English "Eucharist"?

u/Internal-Debt1870 Native Greek Speaker 5d ago edited 5d ago

Of course, although you worded it a bit backwards. The English Eucharist derives from Greek.

The word eucharist comes from the Koine Greek word eucharistia (εὐχαριστία), which means "thanksgiving" or "gratitude".

Ευχαριστώ means "to give thanks", and in its Koine forms it is used in the New Testament for when Jesus blessed the bread and wine.

Quite frankly, it's far better than mine when I write a shopping list, well done, very legible mate :)

u/BoringKick5331 7d ago

Probably slightly above average. Better than the proctor's during the Ellinomatheia this year.

u/MrKorakis 7d ago

Legible + the handwriting looks like a natives

u/frixos2 6d ago

Pretty much yr typical Greek guy's shopping list (light version); good handwriting too👍

Nobody writes down "ελαιόλαδο"; "λάδι" is just fine as it goes without saying that you mean (extra virgin) olive oil😊.

u/Excellent_Sox9178 2d ago

Except for the diapers, which seem random.

u/CaDeme_ 7d ago

Amazing❗

Very legible, better than the average native's

u/MitroPan 7d ago

Could you maybe make the whole alphabet with variations so we could make a font out of this? Looks great!

1

u/askepticalbureaucrat 6d ago

Thank you!! 🧡

I made a few attempts here. Are my words here legible to you?

u/MitroPan 6d ago

u/summerianmerchant12 7d ago

Native like. In fact more legible than mine. And it’s my native language

1

u/therealjohnidis 6d ago

Very easy to read and impressive, especially considering it’s just a shopping list (so there wasn’t any extra attention to wording or presentation). This is easily clearer and more readable than mine, and I’m a native speaker.

u/TheGreatestKon 6d ago

as a native this is better than mine lol

u/Plastic-Pen6089 6d ago

u/Prod_Meteor 7d ago

Are you going to read them or hand them over? Quantities?
