Μαθεmatics?

[nacreousnereid]

From Wikipedia: The word mathematics comes from the Greek μάθημα (máthēma), which, in the ancient Greek language, means "that which is learnt", "what one gets to know", hence also "study" and "science", and in modern Greek just "lesson".

So true!

Awesome Greenglish word!

[pluureng]

Math derives from the word μάθε?

[Meowe3]

Ancient Greek ‹μαθειν› (to learn, μάθω) → Ancient Greek ‹μαθηματηκή τέχνη› (mathematical/learning art) → Latin ‘Ars Mathematica’ (mathematical art) → English Mathematics

look up the word "polymath". It means someone who knows everything.

"Study Greek!" is not good?

[pkaragoulis]

Greek has different words for "learn" and "study", just like English: learn -> μαθαίνω, study -> μελετώ. Hence "Study Greek," would be "Μελέτα ελληνικά."

[Robyn408862]

Sometimes in different lessons the words for languages are capitalised and sometimes not. Which is correct?

[joe_t4]

Imperfective imperative= μάθαινε / μαθαίνετε. Perfective imperative = μάθε / μάθετε

[GwenBretagne]

I wrote "study Greek" and it was not accepted. I am French so maybe it's because of my poor English

Yes, there are different ways of expressing things.

Here we have: Μάθε Ελληνικά. => Learn Greek.

For "study" we have the very common...."Διάβασε ελληνικά". (singular) Διαβάστε ελληνικά. (plural) Yes, "διαβάζω" means "read" but it is used to also mean "study'.

The more formal, though less commonly used: Μελέτα /μελέταγε ελληνικλά. Μελετάτε ελληνικά
