Balderdash Greek

Forget language classes. Learning another language is more like a game! I will prove it to you. Let's start with Greek!

Greek uses a different alphabet, which is very beautiful. But to make this simple, I will just use English letters.


Guess what these words mean:

progeggrammenoi

zophos

despotayn


And, just for kicks, a bonus easy one:

asteres planaytai


(Big Hint: These words are all taken directly from the book of Jude)

"I am a programmer"

"from the planet Zophos"

"I wish to be a despot"


And the bonus easy one was:

(something about) "stars"

I personally found it much easier not to think it was from the book of Jude.

What's my prize?

Hopefully, my having taken a little Greek won't disqualify me.


" ' ' am commanding"

"wisdom"

"tyrant"

and lastly?...

"heavenly bodies"
or
"heavenly beings"
