Well, Greeks are Europe's biggest cheese eaters, followed by the French., and the first country to produce wine in Europe, historically. :P

How is the letter υ pronounced? Like oo, ee, or v?

[mizinamo]

υ by itself is pronounced like "ee".

The combination ου is pronounced like "oo".

The combinations αυ, ευ are pronounced either like "av, ev" or (if followed by a voiceless consonant) like "af, ef".

So there isn't a single pronunciation associated with the letter υ.

In english you would traditionally say cheese first (e.g. cheese and wine). Is there there a similar preference in Greek?

I'm more accustomed to hearing wine first

[G.Georgopoulos]

No, as long as they're edible xD

[TheM11Mum]

Can anyone tell me, I know there are 2 different ways to translate the English 'o' and 3 ways for 'i' kind of sounds, is there any pattern or rule to know when to use ο vs ω, or υ, ι, η, plus all the other combination letters or is it 'just' a matter of learning all the individual spellings? The only one I feel I get is σ vs ς.

[tanja11438]

The same answer as you have. What is wrong?
