Translation: Yesterday.

[DarrenReiley]

...ολά τα προβλήματα μου φαίνοταν τοσο μακριά.

[jaye16]

Hmm, interesting I bet someone could write a great song using that. ;)

Thanks DarrenReiley we were about due for a smile. Have a lingot.

Shouldn't there be an accent on the "ε"?

[jaye16]

No, on one syllable words (except a few special circumstances) do not have accents.

[jackhust]

Should the "θ" not be spoken like a "th"? See the example here: http://de.pons.com/übersetzung?q=χθες&l=deel&in=&lf=de
(Its a german webpage)

[jaye16]

Yes, the θ is pronounced like th. The audio for this word is accurate. From what I hear on the Pons the χ is given too much emphasis. Since this is a one syllable word the χ and the θ sound more like one letter. Try here for Greek spoken by natives: https://forvo.com/search/%CF%87%CE%B8%CE%B5%CF%82/. Hope that helps.

For some reason, this link does not seem to be clickable on mobile :/ could you share the entire URL, or do you have more information about the pronunciation? It also sounds like /fthes/ to me, so I'm not sure how the χ should be pronounced - as in χρόνος or as in χέρι?

I think it's a safety precaution, because it's difficult to see the target of a link on mobile without following it, so it doesn't make links clickable that have a specified link text.

/x/ as in χρόνος.

And thanks for the heads up on the link not being clickable on the mobile. I will give them in full from now on.

[Zarkian]

I heard the word and the first thing that came to my head was fez...

[jamtintraders]

I heard θες and I was marked correct....

[PetrosRall]

Can we say το θες χθες for you want it yesterday expressing incredulity? I hope so, but find it impossible to say!

[troll1995]

Yes, we may say το θέλω χθες, το θες χθες to show that you want it very much.

[PetrosRall]

Great. I love it. Thank you.
