"Το υλικό του κουταλιού."

[Odontoceto]

Have these words (υλικό, κουταλιού) ever appeared in any other lesson?

[Spoonashy]

They didn't show up as new words for me (either?) and I don't remember them being in any of the lessons up until now

[Mike215507]

no, first time for both of those words. having one new word with a choice that you can figure out from the answer tiles is ok, but 2 new words and extra answers that don't match up to previously learned words makes it improbable

[john_treehugger]

Does this mean: "the substance that the spoon is made out of" ? or what ?
This is not a phrase I would ever use in English?

[teopap2]

It means what you said. It is an awkward phrase in Greek as well.

[Gregozz855]

I always thought υλικό was ingredient, thus I wrote "the spoon's ingredient"

[teopap2]

Υλικό can mean material, and also ingredient when referring to a cooking recipe.

[ErikdenB]

I think they're just trying to throw us off since it's so similar to το γλυκό του κουταλιού. I let my Greek gf listen to the audio and she started to explain what a spoon sweet was to me, so even natives struggle, apparently :P

[Lng52-._]

Pronounced "ylikó" or "ylkó"?

[teopap2]

"ilikó", five discreet sounds. I admit the second "i" can't be heard clearly, but it is there. In general, I don't think we omit any written letters when pronouncing words in Greek.

This is not a phrase to use in a lesson. Its so awkward i doubted myself, yet i was right. The phrase makes no sense

[DanielaJan227482]

Thank you. I'm familiar with γλυκό but not with υλικό. That's why I didn't notice the difference.

[thoas]

Could one say "Το υλικό του κουταλιού είναι μέταλλο."?

[troll1995]

Yes, but it's more common to say το κουτάλι είναι μεταλλικό=the spoon is metallic.

[ColinScott18]

I was marked wrong for saying 'the spoon material'. Both this and the given translation of 'the material of the spoon' are perfectly correct in english and should be accepted translations.

[G.Georgopoulos]

Yet native speakers said it's a matter of usage and is not actually said. Because, languages, I guess.

[SylviaCors]

I also didn't hear the second i. It would be nice if the prononciation was consistent, but maybe it just isn't in reality?

[NezihD]

I do not like to be asked a new word first time in a listening exercise.
