"το σίγμα"

[vargeorg]

Σ=σ

[Squirrel10672]

It sounds like that the s of sigma is pronounced like sh in English when "to sigma" is pronounced but like s in English when "sigma" is pronounced. Am I right?

[J.C.M.H.]

Really, the Greek "sigma" sounds like European Spanish or Dutch "s", that is a sound between English "s" and English "sh".

[MarkBennett6]

Many Greek consonants are with the tongue/teeth/lips just slightly more parted than in English, so everything is hissier.

What does sigma mean?

[MountKing]

In greek it should be "σιφμα" (sifma) not sigma

[troll1995]

No, the letter in Greek is σίγμα

[Ven224778]

That really stumped me

[larry.drew]

Going through the basic lessons here. I don't know where to put the accents or when to. But it keeps telling me to pay attention to them. How do i know why or when to put accents if they haven't taught me yet? The obvious answer would be to memorize. But I'd like to know "why".
