.... Greek is useless and Cypriots need to adopt French and German instead. The benefits of this would be enormous.

I mean why would you teach your kids Greek for heaven sakes and not French, German ......

Because French and German and English and Spanish and Italian and...and...and....do not exist without the Greek words they contain. So, even if our children adopt some other European language they will still be speaking Greek. While, if they learn Greek first and then a European language they will understand better the full meaning of the "foreign" words which thy will be using in everyday life. Such as "tele- phone" and "tel-graph" for instance, "hippo-potamus", "Disco-theque", Navy and Nautical, Astronomy, Geography, Anthropology, laryngitis, arthritis, "optico acoustic" "method" "automate" Cosmos, Polis, Cosmetics, Architecture, Philosophy, Mathematics, Physics, Arithmetic, Chemistry, Trigonometry Idea, History, Mythology, Democracy, Tyranny, Aristocracy, Drama, Theater, Music, Athlets and Athletics, Gymnastics, (from Gymnasium ), Pharmacy and millions of other "Useless" Greek words. On the other hand, a poor German who has not learned Greek, calls the mortgage "Hypotheque" and the pharmacy "apotheke" and the bar shelves where bottles are kept just "theque" but he can not understand why. Because he never learned that all these words derive fron the Greek verb "tithimi' or "theto" from which also thesis, epithesis, ypothesis (hypothesis) anathesis, diathesis, katathesis, thiki, apothiki, diathiki, parakatathiki etc derive.
And the whole of Europe uses the word "crater" and they think it is just the mouth of a volcano. But they do not understand, like a Greek educated person does, that "Crater" is the place, the vessel, where "Crasis" (i.e. mixture of liquids) takes place. And that that is why modern Greeks use the word "crasi" for wine instead of "oinos" (vino and wine in other languages.) Because the Greeks, used to drink their wine mixed with water and thus were drinking a CRASIS (mixture). Unlike the barbarians who drank "akraton oinon", ie, not mixed with anything.
How unfortunate you are for not knowing these miraculous things. Pity you did not attend a Greek Gymnasium. Isn't it?? But you don't need to feel inferior. There is still time to improve yourself. And be grateful for your Hellenic Heritage.

Oh sure, French, German, and English can't exist without the Greek. yeh right, that makes perfect sense...

I remember when twats like you would say to the English, French and Germans that YOU were building a civilisation while they were still swinging from tree to tree!

Now, all I can see are greeks swinging from tree to tree and not the English, French or Germans!

So we're Greek on Cyprus, the majority who invented (at least) one aspect of Greekness - the written language. The everlasting legacy, to be protected.

(You do realise, from what you've just admitted, it is Cyprus' true global nature you destroy every time you think you destroy something Greek.)

[Paphitis]

"Greeks" just stole everything from us and invented the term Greek, when in actual fact it is Cypriot!

Another example of Greece claiming credit for other people's work! No different to Turkey! In fact, they are as bad as each other.

Greeks only stole your rectal virginity.
